Hillary Clinton lost both of her bids to become President of the United States and the reality is, she will never sit in the Oval Office. Don’t tell her that though, in her mind she won the 2016 election and is the legitimate POTUS. To drive this point home, she showed up at art exhibit in Italy and sat behind a replica of the Oval Office Resolute desk, reading her infamous private server e-mails. I honestly can’t think of a sadder spectacle.
The Huffington Post reports that artist (that’s debatable) Kenneth Goldsmith created an exhibit in Venice, Italy called “HILLARY: The Hillary Clinton Emails.” The exhibit consists of a replica of the Resolute desk from the Oval Office and a stack of Hillary Clinton’s e-mails. Why would anyone care about this? That’s unclear and it’s even more puzzling that this thing is in Italy. Do Italians give a crap about Hillary Clinton or her e-mails? I want to say probably not.
According to the artist, the e-mails on the desk are printed versions of 60,000 e-mails that were stored on Hillary Clinton’s illegal private e-mail server. Does it also include the 120 pages of classified information she e-mailed? Or the 30,000 e-mails she illegally deleted? Probably not.
The stated purpose of the art exhibit (that’s debatable) is to stick it Donald Trump:
Then-candidate Donald Trump turned the emails, which were stored on a private server while Clinton was secretary of state, into rallying cry during the 2016 election.
The description explains that “the pile of papers is rather unimpressive, rebutting Trump’s efforts to make them monumental.”
“In this way, Goldsmith creates an anti-monument to the folly of Trump’s heinous smear campaign against Clinton,” it concludes.
Trump won the 2016 election and is President of the Untied States. Hillary lost that election and is a pathetic loser. That hardly qualifies as a Trump folly.
This is already dumb be it gets even less intelligent. Hillary Clinton showed up out of the blue and asked if she could sit behind the Resolute desk and read her e-mails.
Goldsmith told HuffPost via email that Clinton’s visit “was a surprise,” while curator Francesco Urbano Ragazzi said organizers thought the possibility of her visiting was a joke.
“Someone close to Mrs. Clinton contacted us very informally a few days before her visit. We realized that it wasn’t a joke only when we saw the security service inside the exhibition space at 9 am on Tuesday,” they told HuffPost via email.
Ironically, Hillary’s visit was a joke. She sat behind that desk and read her e-mails for an hour. Nowhere in the HuffPo article does it say that she read the e-mails out loud, so it’s possible she sat behind the Oval office desk replica and read them to herself. Either way, it had to have been one of the most boring things that ever happened.
It’s also one of the saddest things to ever happen. I can only assume she no longer has any advisors because surely someone would have told her what terrible optics this was. That she would come off looking like the most desperately pathetic person that ever lived. This is kind of like someone who got stood up for the prom and is still wearing her prom dress 30 years later.
I have a lot of question about how this qualifies as art and why Hillary thought it was a good idea to participate in it, but what I really want to know is does the Resolute desk come with replica semen stains from when Hillary’s husband Bill was banging a White House intern on it? If not, isothere at least a box of cigars in the drawer?
