Anonymous Creators Ridicule Trump with Oversized Golden Lavatory Near Lincoln Memorial

WASHINGTON — A striking new installation has appeared adjacent to the Lincoln Memorial: a golden toilet perched atop a 10-foot-tall marble throne, a satirical nod to President Donald Trump’s fixation on bathroom renovations.

Early Monday morning, anonymous artists unveiled this faux marble structure, targeting Trump for prioritizing the remodeling of the Lincoln Bathroom at the White House over more pressing national concerns.

“In a time of unprecedented division, escalating conflict, and economic turmoil, President Trump focused on what truly mattered: remodeling the Lincoln Bathroom in the White House,” proclaims a plaque affixed to the throne, aptly titled “A Throne Fit For A King.”

“This, his crowning achievement, is a bold reminder that the President isn’t just a businessman; he’s taking care of business,” it continues. “It stands as a tribute to an unwavering visionary who looked down, saw a problem, and painted it gold.”

White House spokesperson Davis Ingle responded, asserting that Trump was “overwhelmingly elected” to undertake such renovations.

“President Trump is making the White House and our entire Nation’s Capital more beautiful than ever before,” Ingle stated. “The president will never stop working on behalf of the American people and fulfill the promises that he was overwhelmingly elected to do.”

The installation is credited to a group of anonymous artists known as The Secret Handshake.

Designed for public interaction, the throne allows visitors to sit and snap photos on the toilet, according to a spokesperson for the group. It will remain on display for several days, located down the stairs from the Lincoln Memorial on its southwest side.

The Secret Handshake has been known for their satirical monuments throughout D.C., often installed under the cover of darkness to maintain anonymity. Earlier this month, they erected a 12-foot statue near the U.S. Capitol depicting Trump embracing convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, styled after the iconic scene from “Titanic.”

Previous installations include a giant bronze turd “honoring” Trump, mini poop statues, and a statue of Trump and Epstein holding hands on the National Mall. One particular statue prompted enough concern within the Trump administration that U.S. Park Police were ordered to dismantle it in the dead of night shortly after its unveiling. The Secret Handshake claimed this action stemmed from “internal pressure” from the administration.

Afterward, the artists restored the statue, opting to retain all visible “scars” from its initial destruction.

When asked about their motivation for continuing to create these mocking installations, a spokesperson for The Secret Handshake remarked, “Well, we keep installing them because things in relation to this country and leadership continue to need to be honored.”

The latest installation closely resembles Trump’s own redesign of the bathroom connected to the Lincoln Bedroom in the White House—though notably, his toilet’s handle is the only gold feature. Last October, he boasted about these renovations on social media, sharing numerous photos of his completed work.

“I renovated the Lincoln Bathroom in the White House,” Trump declared in one post. “It was renovated in the 1940s in an art deco green tile style, which was totally inappropriate for the Lincoln Era. I did it in black and white polished Statuary marble. This was very appropriate for the time of Abraham Lincoln and, in fact, could be the marble that was originally there!”
