President Trump asked for a Van Gogh but was refused the loan, instead, he was offered an 18-karat toilet called 'America'.
The toilet has been at the Guggenheim for a year
Donald Trump has been offered an 18-karat gold toilet after he was denied his request of a fragile Van Gogh as a loan for the White House during his presidency.
As is customary, the US President and his first lady put in a request with the Guggenheim for a loan one of its famous works for the halls of the White House, but the New York museum denied the loan of' Landscape In The Snow'.
The toilet was installed in the Guggenheim for a year, and was used by thousands of people.
In an email obtained by the Washington Post, the museum had explained the piece the Trumps requested was too fragile to be moved but for the rarest occasions, but they would send all the cleaning and installation instructions should they wish to have the toilet in their home instead.
The piece, created by Italian artist Maurizio Cattelan as Mr Trump announced his intention to run for the presidency, has been compared with the billionaire, not just by the Guggenheim's outspoken chief curator.
In a blog post on the Guggenhem website, Nancy Spector wrote: "Like all of Cattelan's most complex works, this sculpture is laden with possible meanings."
"The gold toilet - a cipher for the excesses of affluence - was available for all to use in the privacy of one of the Guggenheim’s single-stall, gender-neutral bathrooms. More than one hundred thousand people waited patiently in line for the opportunity to commune with art and with nature."
The 'Orange One' will want to eat lunch on the gold toilet Hahahaha!!1 can't imagine tRUMP thinking the Museum would loan him a Van Gogh with his history of lying he would swear he sent it back to the museum ... I don't think tRUMP ever got anything from a honest day's work , his dad started him off in business and he lied or didn't pay people . tRump talks a good game come push to shelve ... he will run and hide and start tweeting .

I thought the Guggenheim made a perfect choice to loan the toilet to Trump. It represents everything he stands for. He loves everything gold to excess. He has more money than he knows what to do with. He has a potty mouth, tells lies and flushes the truth down the crapper. And, furthermore, he's full of shit.
