Overview
- The anonymous collective Secret Handshake installed a gold toilet on a faux-marble pedestal near the Lincoln Memorial on Monday, drawing people who sat to pose for photos.
- A plaque titled “A throne fit for a king” frames the work as a critique of presidential priorities during a time of conflict and economic strain.
- The message targets Trump’s October plan to refit the White House’s Lincoln bathroom with gold fixtures and real marble.
- Coverage ties the stunt to the weekend’s nationwide “No Kings” protests, when millions demonstrated against the president.
- Secret Handshake keeps its members unnamed and previously placed a Washington statue of Trump and Jeffrey Epstein posed as dancing partners, and no official response had been reported by late Monday.
