The Establishments war on Donald Trump Title: Artists' Destroy Trump Hotel Room, Release Live Rats In Anti-Trump 'Protest' Installation Artists' Destroy Trump Hotel Room, Release Live Rats In Anti-Trump 'Protest' Installation A group called "INDECLINE" locked up a faux Trump in a cage full of McDonalds wrappers. By Emily Zanotti April 2, 2018 A group of full time "protest artists" called "INDECLINE" set up an art installation inside a Trump International Hotel room in New York City over the weekend, trapping a faux President Trump in a cage full of McDonalds wrappers, and releasing live rodents to symbolize the President "eating his own." According to the Daily Mail, which obtained pictures of the installation, "The People's Prison" featured a Trump impersonator in a MAGA hat, sitting in a cage, surrounded by graying walls covered in paintings of "American revolutionaries" like Edward Snowden, Noam Chomsky, and Assata Shakur. They added the live rats because "President Trump is the ultimate rat and thus, deserves to be imprisoned with his own breed," the guerilla artists told the Mail. The artists also, of course, released a video of their efforts: an eye-rolling compilation of generic progressive images, narrated by someone who frequently quotes Hunter S. Thompson, because the artists of INDECLINE apparently all have four-year liberal arts degrees and very little exposure to a rich world of subversive literature unavailable on Amazon. "America could've been a fantastic monument to all the best instincts of the human race," the narrator says over a video of the INDECLINE activists luring city rats with McDonalds food, without apparent regard for communicable disease. "Instead we just moved in here and destroyed the place from coast to coast like killer snails. Everybody wants power over a country that's had its day." Hotel staff were, apparently, aware of their actions, and while not giving them their blessing, assisted the artists in moving materials and handling cleanup — so it wasn't exactly the work of "killer snails." There's so far no word on whether the apparently all-white crew of INDECLINE (they, of course, posed for a group photo), were generous in tipping the hotel's hard-working housekeeping team, forced to clean up after a box of rats (and worse, guerilla artists). The INDECLINE team allowed a group of journalists to view the work for three hours before it was dismantled. They'll re-create the "groundbreaking" work at a gallery in Los Angeles next month.
