Some people think gold shows they are rich when in reality just shows a lot of bad taste. Btw poor people can have the same fireplace using.dolar store spray lol
I hate to beat this very dead horse, but tacky is the thing that least jumps out at me here. I mean. This literally looks like Nazi decor. The eagles, the frowning busts, the ornateness, like...
New money energy.
I also didn't notice it until my friend pointed it out to me a month ago. I was too busy being upset when Trump and Vance bullied Zelenskyj to notice their hip hop gangsta crib at the time.
Pimp My Whitehouse
Trump reminds me of Baron Danglars from The Count of Monte Cristo. Both are tasteless nouveau riche bankrupts with repellent physiognomy.
This picture makes me fucking ashamed to be an american. What a backward-ass shithole country we've become.
And the election was not even rigged. You did this to yourselves in plain sight. It is super duper pathetic. From the boldest, most inspiring nation in the world to an insane, self-mutilating idiocracy in like a couple of decades. What the fuck!
Let's be clear, all US elections are rigged in many different ways. This is why the Texas gerrymandering is an issue as well as North Carolina in the past, and I'm glossing over a lot of cases and other methods that are used because it isn't worth my time mentioning more than those two.
Another fact: one electoral vote accounts for 195,000 people in Wyoming and over 700,000 people in Texas, Florida or California.
I'm GLAD we Gutted my VA Benefits to be Able to afford THAT!
Tacky as hell. This administration has all the class and style of a Spirit Halloween store.
Spirit Halloween knows exactly what it is though. It's not posing or putting on a front. It may not be Sperrys with flat front olive chinos, but it's certainly not pretending to be anything but itself.
Class vs cheep ass
"Daddy always said, you can't by class, but you can watch people try"
If you ever get another Dem president, which is doubtful, it's going to take a minute to hose out the whore flair from the White House.
We need a working class president not some corrupt neoliberal democrat with no teeth
You will never get a working class president if change doesn’t happen locally first. Young people don’t vote in local elections and young people don’t put themselves on the ballot of local elections. It’s why actual change at the top will never happen. You can’t expect the average Joe, who isn’t very politically engaged, to vote for a socialist president if they have never experienced what a socialist politician can do for them. That experience needs to happen at the local level. The US needs more Mamdani’s across the entire country and not just in New York.
The reason why Dump is president and co-opted the GOP is because the Tea Party started winning local elections first and pushing out Republican incumbent. They created the momentum so a moron like Drumpf could win a presidential primary.
And they didn’t just do it in political elections even non political elections like school board elections etc. were captured by the Tea Party.
The left needs to copy the Tea Party playbook.
There's a ton of scholarly and peer reviewed articles and studies on the "architecture of fascism" the "art of awe" etc, and how through history, grandiose and gilded decor and architecture has been used to manipulate, convince and enthrall the masses.

Painting over a pedophile's mistakes is going to be the theme in America for an entire generation.
Looks really byzantine, kinda something some russian tzar would have done if they were re-decorating
Dude has a gold fetish. Your president, america. Choke on it.
Peh, copy cat
The difference is that this is in a historic imperial palace (Yildiz palace) with (refurbished) historic imperial chairs... They don't just look like they were build for the padishah, they were build for the padishah (Abdul Hamid II).
Jesus, that is so gaudy.
You could have decided not to turn up the saturation to make it look worse, as it looks already terrible...
Is it saturation or just room lighting? This could also just have been a different camera with different settings. Not like Trump hires competent people.
His polling is wild and all over the place. He's underwater, but so are the dems.
If you are intelligent you wouldn't need to talk about it because, people would know it from your thoughts and actions.
If you are a good leader you wouldn't need to talk about it because there would be more people following you than protesting you.
If you are good at making deals you wouldn't need to talk about it because you'd have a stack of deals to prove it.
If you are good at business you wouldn't need to talk about it because you would have a lot more successful companies than bankrupt companies in your history.
Etc etc etc.
This smacks of "look how well things are going !! If things were going badly would we be able to afford all this gold?"
Beware the man who is eager to tell you how good they are at something.
I was sure this was photoshopped and there was no way that was real...
It's real. This is just unbelievable.
What more proof do you need that a pee tape exists? That’s the aesthetic of someone with an insatiable golden shower fetish.
Clarification:
The Pee Pee Tape purportedly shows Trump directing two underage prostitutes to pee on the bed that Barack and Michelle Obama had slept on when they visited Moscow during his presidency. This amused him greatly. What went on beyond that with the underage prostitutes is unknown, but we already know that's his type. Now we know the kinds of activities that he finds amusing.
Fuck that is ugly
And the decor is awful too.
You can't buy taste.
I can almost spot the remaining human rights in the lower image's fireplace.
trinity broadcasting network aesthetic.
Also, this isn't the epstein files.
The man has absolutely no taste. His only thought is “must appear rich”.
Ah yes, the look of every dictator's palace. Loads of gold. Only thing is, most dictators have a form of taste, Trump clearly does not.
Tacky
This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.
This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?
Just post some stuff and don't spam.
