    My god, it’s a gilded junk shop!

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

    @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 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!

      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.

            @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.

            @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.

                      @TheJen Always. I was such a snob about him even in 1986 because the first time I became aware of him I was among the Boston Brahmins and their view of his tackiness was WITHERING haha.

                                        These billionaires seem to all have horrendously tacky taste in decor.
