When you have absolutely no taste your office looks like this.

The golden eagle tables.

The White House has access to some of the finest art, sculptures, fabrics, furniture,
designers, and craftspeople in the world and it looks like they have gone to a yard sale
sale for some of their stuff. Those gold plated metal scroll things (filigrees) are really
bad. $20.00 for all of them @ a garage sale.

1. Looks like a rich man's vision of a ho house.

[markodochartaigh]

3. They are both locations

where deals are done by transactional people.

[Irish_Dem]

4. Everything has a price.

Trump knows the price of everything but the value of nothing.

[Joinfortmill]

40. I think that's because he's spent a lot of time in those 'ho' houses.

[Irish_Dem]

43. That's what I think too.

[Kid Berwyn]

2. King Taco the Traitor: America's Goldbrick

gold-brick(n.)

"gold in the form of a brick," 1853, from gold (adj.) + brick (n.). Meaning "shirker" is from 1914, World War I armed forces slang, from earlier verb meaning "to swindle, cheat" (1902) from the old con game of selling spurious "gold" bricks (attested by 1881).

5. It needs more gilt and topless waitresses with bunny ears. And, a spiffy jukebox playing C&W.

[newdeal2]

6. Surprised he didn't put gold on Churchill and MLK's busts

[Botany]

8. I think the MLK bust has been removed

N/t

[newdeal2]

9. It's still there. You can see it on the left side of the photo.

[Botany]

10. That picture is 3 months old

N/t

[newdeal2]

11. I see. Didn't notice the date at first, thanks nt

[usaf-vet]

42. And it's still F**king ugly!

[Torchlight]

7. Cement's pond's out back

where they celebrate Cruz's recent vacation with day-old Big Macs

[Jilly_in_VA]

12. GAAAAAAACK!

[Botany]

13. I believe some of those golf trophies on the mantle are from "championships" he "won" @ his own courses.

Klassy with a K.

[Paladin]

14. What an absolute dump.

trump is every bit as good at decorating as he is at telling the truth.

[Mossfern]

41. A true example

of Guilding the Lily

[Mblaze]

15. Who combed it over best?

[BeneteauBum]

16. Hey, it just reflects the current occupant.

Gaudy as hell…..
Peace ☮️

[calimary]

17. But but but ... a "king" simply MUST surround himself with gold.

Gold EVERYTHING, from gewgaws and picture frames to the upholstery of the royal chairs he can sit his royal ass down upon. I’m surprised he doesn’t make the press people dress in gold so that’s all he ever has to see.

Now I understand why he’s moved heaven and earth for years to make sure that whatever hair he still has on his head can look the part, too.

[Traildogbob]

30. Surround himself?

He paints his face gold everyday.
Ask Stormy if he has gold plated his mushroom?

[irisblue]

18. I keep hearing the StormTroopers March when I look at that room

[zeusdogmom]

34. John Williams writes (composes) the best music

Never get tired of listening to or even better playing his music.

The video made me smile. Thank you for posting it.

[irisblue]

38. Your welcome. I am sure those muscians felt no pressure at all that day

[MiHale]

19. Those eagles look like Harpy eagles....

Nasty bird. I’ve never seen a Bald eagle that looks like those do. We have eagles flying all around us.

[yorkster]

35. Agree. Also, look like griffons or vultures.

Menacing and ugly.

[Botany]

52. Lots of great Eagle art and those tables are just God awful.

[Historic NY]

20. Whore House decor

[Botany]

54. Yup

[Tree Lady]

21. That's really fitting in with the

American people shoving riches and gold in their face like a old time ruler with a kingdom of peasants.

[Wicked Blue]

22. It began with the Golden Toilet

and now everything King Minus touches turns to fool's gold.

[kentuck]

23. I would not be surprised to see the painting of Washington replaced with a velvet painting of Elvis.

Welcome to his world!

[tishaLA]

24. It'd make Muammar Gaddafi happy

It's the same level of garishness as any random authorization in a developing country.

[Bev54]

25. In one of his many ramblings, he mentioned he wanted to change the drapes to gold ones but

was having trouble finding the exact colour of gold. This is certainly vomit inducing already.

[chowder66]

26. The color of his head is jarring.

[Hong Kong Cavalier]

27. What I would give to have someone say "This place looks like absolute shit" on live television

in front of him...

[SARose]

28. I can't wait to watch the next administration

Scrape this mess off the walls. I want to see it all dumped on the ninth hole at Mar-A-Largo. Televised!

[SergeStorms]

29. Krasnov has seen the Kremlin.

Trump covets. That's his raison d'etre. Whether it's women, golf courses, buildings, money or gold, he wants what others have. This is his mind-scrambling version of Putin's palace.
Maybe we should be thankful Melanoma didn't decorate, because she would have had it bulldozed and covered in cement. That's her vision of wealthy-chic.

[Eliot Rosewater]

31. He's a 12 year old.

[Docreed2003]

32. Allegedly, the wall accents are available through Home Depot

Makes sense if you're the White House design team. Slap some 3M tape on the back and it won't damage the actual walls and fireplace and can be easily removed for the next occupant

[marble falls]

47. And knockoff Home Dept at that.

[underpants]

33. I've seen Greek restaurants more understated

[no_hypocrisy]

36. Like a French Whorehouse

[AverageOldGuy]

37. Long story: A New Orleans sporting house

My family is from rural SW Mississippi-SE Louisiana. As with any family -- especially Southern families -- we have or share and them some of colorful characters.

In 1870, one of my very distant cousins married another of my very distant cousins, they lived in New Orleans and had six children.

She died in 1880. He moved in with his girlfriend, who was the proprietress of a well-known New Orleans sporting house. In 1890, he shot and killed one of her other close gentlemen friends and fled to SW Mississippi, where his mother was living with one of her daughters and son-in-law.

In 1883, the mother -- aghast at her grandchildren living in a New Orleans whorehouse --went to New Orleans and removed the six children to her home in rural SW Mississippi.

As time moved on and the New Orleans sporting houses closed, a few of them and their furnishings were saved and today are part of a New Orleans museum.

Trump's decoration of the Oval Office could easily be mistaken for a New Orleans whorehouse circa 1880. Seems fitting somehow.

[thucythucy]

39. And he paved over the Rose Garden.

Classless is as classless does.

[Peacetrain]

48. Amen to that

[marble falls]

49. That alone would be enough to condemn him.

[appleannie1]

44. A cheap, off the strip casino/brothel transplanted to DC

[FSogol]

45. The Temu White House.

[marble falls]

46. Pier 1 was a major contributor. They scoured their warehaouses and donated it.

[kimbutgar]

50. Talk about gaudy and tasteless

My Mother used to say that people who over decorate like this are insecure who want to prove they are rich and smart.

[Permanut]

51. The House of the Rising Sun.

[DET]

53. So those hideous things are eagles?

I thought they were flying monkeys. Might as well be, I guess.

[bif]

55. Are those "participation" trophies behind him?

[Botany]

56. The internet rumor is that some are from winning a golf tournament @ his own properties.

He would be the first to play a round on a new course and then he would claim to
“have set the course record.”

[pacalo]

57. Needs a snazzy, flamboyant grand piano

with a couple of garishly golden candelabras; and the grifter needs a garish cape to match his surroundings as well.
