@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.
@Holberg Oh I'll bet. Haha. I mean, I'm a west Texas redneck...not raised around fancy people, but I know tacky when I see it.

@TheJen Glaringly obvious to anyone with taste!

Apart from everything else what’s the deal with the toy plane on the coffee table?
What’s that for?

This explains why MAGA support him. In front of Trump is a model plane glued together by cousin Bob and in the background are uncle Bucks bowling trophies

@HamonWry Haha now I’ll only see bowling trophies and I love you for that.

@helvick Maybe the jet the Qataris are bribing him with?

Good grief. What has he done!

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

@Holberg He has spent his entire life desperately trying to belong to the cultured class, but everything he does screams the opposite. He must hate that even with the title of POTUS, those whose approval he most craves, will always look down on him.

@gizmonicus @mwyman @Holberg Yes. I read this 2017 piece belatedly last year, and everything about the Trumpian aesthetic suddenly made sense.

@nomdeb I agree. One of the reasons I think he’s just a combination of being profoundly stupid plus a narcissist is that any smart reasonably-well-adjusted man with that much money in the early ‘70s would’ve sought guidance, followed advice and entered society with ease.

It’s like the cubicles of eBay, minus the tacky gold.
At eBay, everybody had a cubicle. It seemed like you were supposed adorn them with junk bought on … eBay. So people had Star Trek figurines, Simpsons miniatures, Beanie babies, beer bottle collections, unbelievable amounts of … face it … flair.
I bought a Bud Light Spuds Mackenzie dog light and that was the sole piece of flair in my cubicle.

@Holberg you can't buy such a bad style. That must have been him.

@Holberg I bet there isn’t a drop if gold there, it is all fake

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

Third World dictators look at Trump's Oval Office and laugh at the tackiness.
