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

      @Holberg I’ve seen antique stores with more design taste.

              @Holberg It's definitely got the "old people who finally have their own manufactured home" aesthetic from the Reagan era.

                I understand how he feels so at home in the “bordello” look. Ugh.

                        @mwyman And the shock, perhaps, of seeing it in a space we’ve always known without really noticing subtle, tasteful changes unless an article pointed out why a president chose this or that.

                          I guess we should count ourselves lucky that his dress sense isn’t as flashy and vulgar as his interior design sense.

                          Though it’s always surprised me that such a status-obsessed New Yorker dresses so cheaply—regardless of style.

                          e.g.

                          Make me look like a man whose father never taught him to tie a tie, who gets his shoes at a Long Island mall and can’t be bothered with alterations when he buys a suit off the rack!

                            @Holberg is that why he burnishes his face every morning? The desperate pursuit of surface glitter?

                              @Holberg there was usually the subtle changes in artwork, but usually just different portraits or placements. Then the tasteful but noticeable tweak between blue and red carpets/drapes.

                              Trump’s insistence on gold everything just makes the whole place look chintzy.

                                @Holberg

                                This always reminds me of golden cat vomit heaved onto the walls. So embarrassing. Also, one of Orange Julius' lackeys has submitted plans to replace the White House's 200-year-old slender Ionic columns with gnarly Corinthian columns. I wouldn't be surprised if he wants those gilded, too. Barf.

                                  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.

                                        @mwyman @Holberg Worse, it makes the White House look like a goddamn royal palace. Or more accurately, what an intellectual toddler THINKS a royal palace looks like. The White House is specifically NOT a palace.

                                          @mwyman @Holberg Worse, it makes the White House look like a goddamn royal palace. Or more accurately, what an intellectual toddler THINKS a royal palace looks like. The White House is specifically NOT a palace.

                                          @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.
