    My god, it’s a gilded junk shop!

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

    @Holberg

    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

                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.

                    @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 @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

                                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?

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

                                        @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.
