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

@bluegreenandfree Okay that made me laugh.

@Holberg which chalice is the true one? lol
@timo21 Haha! I like this theme of response!

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

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.

@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. -

@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.

@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.
