Artists Leave New KKK and Putin Merchandise in Midtown's Trump Tower Gift Shop

Two anonymous local artists recently placed some new merchandise inside the Trump Tower gift shop, including Trump-branded KKK, postcards featuring "U.S. President Vladamir Putin", and other thematically similar items.

On Monday afternoon, two NYC-based artists secretly slipped some items inside the merchandising outpost of the Trump Tower's lower lobby. Among them: A Trump-emblazoned KKK hood "for fine people," sealed packages of pee-proof rubber sheets, and a Russian flag. In the front of the store, a postcard display featured the 45th President of the United States, Vladimir Putin, along with cards paying tribute to First Lady Ivanka Trump, and the flap of flesh near the president's throat area, known as a Wattle.

"We are being held momentarily by the train's dispatcher."

We've all heard this dreaded announcement while riding the NYC subway and wonder what it really means. When Bushwick-based comic artist and illustrator Jeremy Nguyen heard it though, he imagined this cute comic.
