    My god, it’s a gilded junk shop!

    (I knew it was bad, but all the tacky gewgaws seem to have multiplied.)

      @Holberg

      Seems something like the #King Meidas counting room.... And we all know what happened to everything Meidas touched.
      Same with Sir #TrumpVirus -
      "Everything Trump Touches Dies" ✓

      Like #democracy #justice #Constitution

      The biggest piece of "junk", though, is right above the green tie of the creature seated on the right. His "big, beautiful, uh brain", with missing #ExecutiveFunctions like #reasoning and #planning, and deficiencies in #humanity & #morality too.

      Junk. (Being kind)

        I know we always joke that Trump's decorating looks like he went to Michael's and bought a bunch of foam decorations and spray painted them gold, but seriously, did they go to Michael's and buy a bunch of foam decorations and spray painted them gold?

          @Holberg he needs medals, all kinds of gimcrack on his person. And maybe we'll all get lucky when he falls in a puddle

              @gizmonicus @Holberg Trump wants it to resemble the Kremlin, or the palace in St. Petersburg. (He’s not high-class enough to think about Versailles.) And yeah, specifically not meant to be a palace.

              @mwyman @gizmonicus @Holberg Can't help but think of this advertisement whenever I think of Trump's gold-leafed excess.

                      I have a theory about the suit thing. It's a dare; he dresses ridiculously on purpose, because he knows "you" won't be brave enough to laugh at him because he's so powerful and important.

                      @silvermoon82 I've seen a different take on the suits: that he only wants the most expensive suits, from ~luxury materials~ like silk. So the drape is weird, it wrinkles easily, it's never going to flatter his body type. Wool (or a similar weight fabric) would give him a better silhouette, but that's not ~luxury material~ so he won't have it. It's no more than amateur psychology but I think it holds up.

                        @billyjoebowers @Holberg To be fair, I think you can buy actual gold leaf at Michael's. There's only enough per package to laminate a single Trump steak. But it's real the way this Oval Office isn't.

                          I hope someone points-out the handles aren't the same on the two second-nearest the outside. He'll freak out and it'll eat his brain for a few days in TV blatherings.

                          What a gross facade of grandeur slapped on a rumpled box of crap.

                              @Holberg @blogdiva I can only assume that they scouring the archives and closeted for absolutely anything in gold, bonus if it is in pairs, so they can see them out for this… man.

                                      'Beauty is truth, truth beauty' - Keats.
                                      Also, it seems, there is an association between lies and utter tat.

                                          My god, it’s a gilded junk shop!

                                          (I knew it was bad, but all the tacky gewgaws seem to have multiplied.)

                                          @Holberg I think half the point of the Imperial gold trim is that it upsets the "liberals".

                                          Besides this is quite restrained - compared to the forthcoming "ballroom".
