A giant satirical statue of a participation trophy appeared on Monday on the National Mall in Washington, D.C., mocking the Trump administrations continued stalemate in the Iran war.
We hereby award President Donald J. Trump this participation trophy for his enthusiastic involvement in the Iran War, a plaque on the statue reads. While some concern themselves with military strategy, diplomacy, or measurable outcomes, President Trump demonstrated the courage to participate regardless of the final score.
As the recipient of this prestigious award, President Trump joins the ranks of children everywhere who received recognition for simply showing up, the plaque continues.
The work, which encourages members of the public to leave their own trophies nearby, comes from Secret Handshake, an anonymous group of artists who have been installing prank statues in Washington throughout the administration. Smaller trophies were seen scattered around the monument on Monday.
