I speculate that it was nothing against the Obamas at all, but that she and her husband are very very particular about what is a proper toilet.

(26,262 posts)President Trump turned down a golden throne for the White House.
The First Couple had asked the Guggenheim to borrow a Vincent Van Gogh painting for their private White House quarters, but a curator responded that the museum no longer had the work.
However, the curator wrote in an email, the Upper East Side museum could offer the presidential couple another piece: a fully functional toilet made out of solid 18-karat gold entitled "America."
The shimmering art piece, created by Italian-born artist Maurizio Cattelan, is estimated to have cost more than $1 million to make.
he curator, Nancy Spector, pitched the golden toilet to the Trumps in a Sept. 15 email first reported by the Washington Post after a White House curator asked if the presidential couple could borrow Van Gogh's 1888 "Landscape with Snow."
The email contents were confirmed to the Daily News by a museum spokeswoman.

Gosh, I must be a huge slob. I assume the hotel housekeeper is MUCH better at cleaning than I am (plus they get paid for it).
