Art In Action, Against Trump

-by Noah

America's artists aren't taking the evil that is Donald Trump lying down. They have a message for him and all of his Republican allies. On Monday, two local New York artists paid a visit to the gift shop at Trump Tower on Fifth Avenue and left some merchandise on display. The items looked like they belonged in more ways than one. They fit in so well with what one might expect to see at a Trump gift shop that they weren't even noticed until the next day. Only when some reporters, aka "horrible people," "nasty people," "liars," "the worst people," "dishonest people" had been tipped off about the merchandise and came in to buy some, did the Trump shop staff swing into action and remove the "unauthorized" goods.

What was so objectionable to the Trump people? Well, I doubt that 'objectionable' is the right word. The new items were, among other things, pee-proof Trump Rubber Sheets, Trump KKK hoods (Marketed "For Fine People"), Putin 45th President post cards, and Trump Russian flags. One of the artists, who wisely preferred not to give his name, said:

"We thought tourists coming in to buy stuff, especially people from other countries, should get the whole story of who the president is, because the items in the Trump store don't accurately reflect the person."

In fact Senor Trumpanzee himself is probably kicking himself for not already offering the items in question. Would it shock you if he went and had his own versions for sale, right next to his MAGA hats, in the near future? He can even have some Russian "models" demonstrating and wearing the hot new Trump products. I'm surprised he isn't selling Trumpanzee-branded tiki torches yet.
