New York’s Guggenheim museum has turned down a request from President Donald Trump to borrow Van Gogh’s work for the White House - instead offering him a gold toilet, media reports say.
But the Guggenheim suggested a “solid, 18-karat toilet” could be offered as an alternative.

Wow. If these scum get any public money, it should be pulled . . . tomorrow.
Poop jokes from the Guggenheim. Classy.
So this is the EUs October surprise? Poop.
Been in the works for months.
Top headline in all the EU rags?
vapid
The American Left, at least a sizable minority of them, are truly awful people through and through.
I guess The Guggenheim Foundation is off the Trump’s donation list
I have seen the original Van Gogh. It is nice when viewed from afar (around 30 feet away) but up close, not so much. It was planned that way by the artist.
As far as the Guggenheim goes, it is playing to a specific audience and making it known the election of Trump did not please the trustees. Par for the course for New York art scene elites.
Frankly, I’m surprised the WH even bothered to ask for a loan from these people. It should have known the museum’s response was going to be rudely adolescent and disrespectful.
The WH should accept the toilet and put it in a visible place with a sign explaining the back story.
It wouldn’t surprise me that Trump already has several gold toilets of his own.
he probably had one installed in the WH living quarters on day 1 to cover the squat hole in the floor that the Obamas used
Here’s your reply.
The White House graciously accepts the Guggenheim’s loan of an 18K toilet. Nothing could sum up the trustees view of the American public and shared national purpose than this offering. The toilet will be prominently displayed in the Democrat waiting area to the Oval Office and be a place of honor for the leaders of the Democratic House and Senate during bi-partisan meetings.
I guarantee you the Guggenheim does not have an 18k toilet. Given the fact that an average toilet weighs 80 pounds, the price of gold was $1,320 today and 80 pounds is 1,280 ounces or a $1,694,720 toilet.
Call them on it and make them pay for it. It would be classic trolling.
so the Guggenheim is being run by 12 year old boys?
SPITEFUL. Guggenheim sucks. I will bad mouth them for as long as I live.
Is it normal for a President to request to borrow artwork from a museum?
If not, I don’t think Trump should have asked. It seems a little presumptuous to me. (You can check my posts, I’m a big Trump fan. But I won’t blindly defend any and all actions.)
OTOH, knowing how the media operates, perhaps this was a setup and the museum offered to let him borrow something so that they could do this to try to make him look bad.
?
It’s fake.
Excellent- he should melt it down and put the proceeds towards the wall. :)
Trump should take it- glue a pic of Hillary in it, take several dumps in it and send it back.
The current New York Guggenheim museum is a toilet.
