Have you ever thought to yourself: ‘Gee, I sure wish I had more President Donald Trump Twitter content?’
If so, you’re in luck. For one weekend this month you can see some of the president’s finest social media work on display in a real life “Twitter library”—a kind of museum dedicated solely to Trump tweets—at the Showroom in downtown D.C.
The pop-up will be free to enter, and will run June 14-16 from 12 p.m.-8 p.m. each day. Its D.C. debut is timed to coincide with the president’s 73rd birthday.
The pop-up installation was created by The Daily Show With Trevor Noah, and it’s already been shown in Miami, Austin, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Chicago, and New York City (where it debuted two blocks from Trump Tower). It’s won several awards, including the Grand Prix award at the 2018 Cannes Lions International Festival.
You can think of the tweet library as a large, three-dimensional Trump troll. It includes such exhibitions as “SAD! A Retrospective,” wherein “a video retrospective will solemnly display a collection of people, places, and things that the president has deemed ‘SAD!'” And then there’s the marquee attraction “The Commander-In-Tweet,” where attendees “will step into a replica of the Oval Office, be presented with a crisis situation, and have 30 seconds to compose a tweet white sitting on a golden toilet, just like the president!”
Special just for a D.C. audience will be a piece entitled “Melania Trump: Trying To Help.” It will focus on the First Lady’s anti-cyberbullying campaign: “We highlight her battle against those who use personal attacks, threats of violence, and really dumb nicknames in a vain attempt to soothe their own insatiable insecurities.”
According to the press release: “The biggest crowds ever say it’s tremendous, and those who miss it will be SAD!”
