YouTube Description
as posted by the channelA giant throne with a gold-painted toilet seat appeared in front of the Lincoln Memorial on Monday.
Scores of people took turns posing for photos. The artwork is called "Throne Fit for a King" and critiques Trump’s focus on things like White House decor versus the economy.
At the same time, the administration has draped three federal buildings with giant banners featuring the president’s face. His name adorns the Kennedy Center and the U.S. Institute of Peace. But the White House insists that "President Trump is focused on saving our country, not garnering recognition."
