@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.

@Holberg seems like it would mask pee stains.

@Holberg oh please.
Junk shops aren't THAT gaudy.

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
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 Daily trips to Home Depot for frilly bullshit and gold rattlecans.

@Holberg He actually has a toy Air Force 1 in his office?

Also, it seems, there is an association between lies and utter tat. -
@timo21 Haha! I like this theme of response!

@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".

Then there's the appalling symmetricality of it, even down to the interchangeable malignity of the two human figures.
