Trumps ask for Van Gogh, are offered gold toilet Jan 26, 2018 12:34:51 GMT -5 Post by Deleted on Jan 26, 2018 12:34:51 GMT -5 Sure, there are far more important stories, but I freaking love this one.The White House asked the Guggenheim museum if they could borrow a Van Gogh for the Trump's private living quarters. The museum said no. But they had a counter offer -- a solid 18K gold functioning toilet they've had at the museum for a while now. (Yes, it's art. Damn expensive art.) www.washingtonpost.com/local/dc-politics/the-white-house-wanted-a-van-gogh-the-guggenheim-offered-a-used-solid-gold-toilet/2018/01/25/38d574fc-0154-11e8-bb03-722769454f82_story.html?wpisrc=nl_rainbow&wpmm=1A+ presidential trolling by the Guggenheim. And come on. An 18K gold toilet is way, way more appropriate for Trump -- though it would not surprise me if he already had one.
