My god, it’s a gilded junk shop!

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.

[snuffleupagus@mstdn.social]

@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

@Holberg

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

@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.

[root@sms.cybik.moe]

@Holberg oh please.

Junk shops aren't THAT gaudy.

[linuxfiend@vmst.io]

@billyjoebowers @Holberg Yes.

[liferstate@mas.to]

@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.

@Holberg

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.

[gabe_fox@pawb.fun]

@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.

[mjj@mstdn.dk]

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

[weezmgk@mastodon.social]

@Holberg looks pretty nice for a cheap brothel

[iwillyeah@mastodon.ie]

@ytscorp @Holberg the president of Pakistan is coming! Let's put up a bust of gandhi.
