Sitting on the edge of the steps leading up to the Lincoln Memorial is the Secret Handshake’s newest sculpture of a throne with a golden toilet as a seat.
On Monday afternoon, many tourists, locals and people out for exercise stopped to take a look at the golden throne, including Frank McGee of D.C.
鈥淭his is pretty good. In fact, it looks like it came from his own apartment,” McGee said.
McGee said he thinks there鈥檚 room for this kind of political commentary.
鈥淗e treats himself like a king and ignores the Constitution, and so do his people, his lackeys, his court. So I think it鈥檚 very appropriate,” he added.
A plaque on the statue reads, “A Throne Fit for a King,” along with an inscription.
鈥淚n 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. This, his crowning achievement, is a bold reminder that the president isn鈥檛 just a businessman, he鈥檚 taking care of business. It stands as a tribute to an unwavering visionary who looked down, saw a problem, and painted it gold,鈥� it reads.
Penny from D.C stopped and took a picture sitting on the 鈥渢hrone鈥� herself.
鈥淎ctually, I wouldn鈥檛 be surprised if he has one like this in the White House, or if he鈥檚 ordered them for the East Ballroom,” she joked.
The statue was placed by the group which is also behind a sculpture featuring Trump and financier and sex offender聽Jeffrey Epstein.
