I hope Obama wins the presidency back via the traditional leadership challenge of Hell In A Cell and then puts this statuette up his bum on live TV.

Anyone who calls any piece of work, which depicts Donald Trump as “art” I’d like to have a word with.

Mostly to beat them to death for their idiocy

If he continues ruling like that, he's going to need more floor space. :)

If it were another house, I'd recommend a statue of a small crowd of Soviet citizens heroically overwhelming a man who missed Brezhnev with a pistol. The statue should be equipped with audio, so if a visitor approaches, the audio should play and multilingual translations should run on a screen, narrating the approximate dialogue:

<bang>
you missed him
<bang>
really poor shot
<bang>
hey, let me try
<bang>
give me the gun
<bang>
you're wasting ammo, give me the damn gun
<bang>
stop resisting, I will take the gun from you now

(sadly it's based on an anecdote, no such historical event has occurred)

The whole of our reality is a fucking joke.

Yes, but not in the way you're hoping. It's not a joke meaning "it didn't happen", but it's a joke in the way everything this chucklefuck does is a joke.
