CHICAGO — Chicago is dropping a big No. 2 on Donald Trump ... when it comes to linking toilet-inspired art with the reality star and presidential hopeful.

That's because we have not one, but two, artist-made toilets depicting Trump either on the giving or receiving end of some pretty literal (and hilarious) political expression.

First, students from Northside College Prep created a sculpture of Trump "in a compromising position" atop a ceramic throne, then beginning April Fool's day, Jacob Thomas, an Edgewater resident and artist, will debut a toilet painted as Trump's face.

That toilet comes complete with a poop emoji.

Thomas' April 1 show at Degenerate Art Gallery, 5407 N. Clark St., will run until April 24 and is set to include many of the works Thomas is already known for, such as his Trump mash-ups around the North Side.

Reporter Linze Rice details Chicago's burgeoning Trump-inspired porcelain art scene.
