The Guggenheim Museum offered President Trump a solid gold toilet from its collection as a "long-term loan" for the White House.

Trump and first lady Melania had asked to borrow a Van Gogh painting from the museum, but the Guggenheim responded that it could not accommodate the request and offered the toilet instead, according to The Washington Post.

“We are sorry not to be able to accommodate your original request, but remain hopeful that this special offer may be of interest," curator Nancy Spector wrote in an email to the White House, according to the Post.

The 18-karat, fully functioning toilet was used as a temporary interactive exhibit in one of the museum’s bathrooms. The piece, titled “America,” has been described as satire mocking excessive wealth.

Fairly certain Trump already has one or fourteen of those.

Floral printed, with an embossed relief of Schumer, obama, and Rosie on alternating leafs. The shiest has to stick somewhere.

Probably planning on pulling a Slick Willie... taking the drapes and furniture. Gotta' hand it to Trump... man plans ahead.

They know their toilets.

This shithole museum isn't peddling Commie Pinko bullshit, are they.

Excessively nasty offer by Guggenheim.

I don't care who you are, that's funny. It seems an appropriate response for such an inappropriate and entitled request to take on of their pieces (one of the most valuable of the collection) out of public display for Trump's personal residence. This isn't a piece from the national gallery, the Guggenheim's collection is either owned by their own foundation or on loan from private owners. Also, the Guggenheim is not federally funded. Most of their funding comes from their own foundation and private donors.

I don't even think Obama was that audacious.

Displaying it in the White House is hardly for personal use.

One of the articles on this said the request was for it to be in the private quarters/residence wing.

Well, they are far left socialist/communist.  Democrats/obama scum.

To be expected.

Why doesn't Trump just move his Renoir from Trump Tower into the WH?

I doubt that seriously.  That source is USA today. 

And this is not funny; it's a nasty, childish insult to the President and First Lady.

Guggenheim had every right to deny the request, but this is not right and certainly not funny.

So? I am sure the obama regime had many such.."Requests'.

Understand it was just a request, the toilet bowl leftist/communist guggenphlegmn. Well, they could have repield with class. They did not.

Are you siding with those anti-capitalist?   

Worth knowing, as far as I consider.

   Yep, far leftist punks/obama reply it was.

Personally, I am sad we have such here.

..hmm...can't help but wonder if there is any special way that a gold toilet would have to be cleaned?

Guggenheim made a fool of someone, but it wasn't Trump.
