Giant 'Participation Trophy' Mocking Trump Installed in New York City
A giant golden 'participation trophy' mocking former President Donald Trump was installed in New York City's Foley Square by the anonymous art collective Secret Handshake. The trophy sarcastically awards Trump for his involvement in the Iran conflict, highlighting participation over outcomes. The location near the courthouse of Trump's recent conviction was chosen deliberately. The group invited the public to add symbolic awards, continuing a series of satirical installations targeting Trump and his administration.
