A constructed
model of the Lincoln Memorial is defaced, suggesting that
metaphorically Trump has debased our public discourse with his lies
and incessant tweeting. A contrast is drawn between Lincoln, who is
a symbol of national unity, and Trump, who is a divisive political
figure. Trump, as portrayed by a clownish figure, has moved into the
Lincoln Memorial, and what appears to be the ghost of Abe Lincoln is
seen leaving the building. “So sad”.
