The current occupant of The White House has done more to change it than any other president before him.
One big construction project has already been completed - paving over The White House Rose Garden with its famous lawn where many press conferences and official ceremonies occurred in the past. A more major project will be the construction of a $200 million ballroom on the east wing. This luxurious addition will be able to accommodate up to 650 guests.
Many of the changes have been on a smaller scale. A lot of golden bling has been added to the principal rooms including the famous Oval Office. This is the kind of vulgar and tasteless decoration that the 47th president clearly loves for it is also visible in Trump Tower and at Mar-a-Lago. Perhaps someone should have whispered in his ear that you don't get style and elegance by slapping golden trimmings all over the place. He is also fond of ugly, gilded picture frames that distract terribly from the pictures within them.
Talking about pictures, the incumbent has shifted a lot of pictures of past presidents around - relegating Democrat presidents to less visible locations. A fine official portrait of President Obama that was on display in the entrance hall has been replaced in favour of a hyper-realistic portrait of the 47th president himself - following the alleged assassination attempt at Butler, Pennsylvania.
Should you visit The White House you will probably spot that the original coasters have been replaced with chunky fake gold coasters that have the word "TRUMP" on them. Again - pretty vulgar but what does he care? As I said before, he has no sense of style and little dignity.
It is somewhat ironic that he has often banged on about "fake news" when he paints his face orange and when his golden mane is also fake. In addition, it is clear that he likes to dwell in fake environments, surrounded by tasteless golden bling including plaster adornments sprayed with fake gold. You cannot make this stuff up.
Arguably, he should have spent more time focusing on Ukraine and Gaza and less upon how to spoil the historical appearance of The White House - formerly known as the people's house.
The man craps in a golden toilet so that's what all this is about.
ReplyDeleteRearranging the pictures seems to be a favourite pastime of politicians - didn't Rachel from Complaints relegate quite a number of the pictures from her office? And didn't her boss do something similar?
ReplyDeleteThe guy has no idea of tradition. He spends his time stoking up violence against visible groups and wonders why people get shot.
