Take a Dump with Donald Trump Novelty Toilet Paper

Historical context

Produced in 2025 during the second Trump presidency, a period when political merchandise, satirical consumer goods, and campaign-adjacent novelties returned to retail and online marketplaces at scale. Like the Gulf War–era Wipe Out Hussein paper, the object translates a polarizing political figure into a bodily joke meant for the bathroom — the most private domestic stage for public contempt.

Curatorial notes

Retained as an artwork proof rather than a manufactured roll, the file records the repeat layout, core dimensions, and two-spot-color specification. The proof state is the evidence: the design is finished, the production logic is explicit, and the object exists as a plan for mass distribution.
