3. He calls this appropriate? It's totally ridiculous. Next he'll want the White House replaced by a Disney castle.

4. Kitsch is still kitsch no matter how many karats. And the visiting world "leaders" still know that you're an imbecile.

All that's missing is the gold trailer hitch and dead animal parts on the walls.

8. If the whole Oval Office was redone in massive 24 Kt. Gold

At $3680 an ounce, that cost taxpayers a bloody fortune.

I hope the next president removes it, melts the gold back down, sells it and throws a street party for the poor folks of Northeast DC

Trump has decked it out like a French whorehouse.

(...and how the hell do you "much more than paint" walls?)

That confused me.
. I was thinking weren't the walls just white paint? Couldn't quite remember haven't not seen that many views of the Oval Office.

It's soooo gaudy! 😑

He definitely turned what used to be known as
the People's House aka the White House into his own tacky version of a Redneck Trailer Trash.
¡Ay, Caramba!
That's just awful. 🥵🤮
🤦‍♂️
Ay Yay Yay,
¡Dios mío!

12. He is turning our White House into a tRump Palace.

Banners of his scowling face are being unfurled on all our Federal buildings. He now thinks he can help himself to whatever he wants in our country.
He is digging up our White House grounds and renovating Lincoln's bedroom and bath. Gawd only knows what else. He will host right wing events and televised spectacles at our White House and pocket the proceeds. We will no longer be allowed access--we will just foot the bills.

I hope they put that crap up with double-sided tape. If they glued it, then it’s going to take off the plaster when the next sane President removes it. It would be hilarious if one of those things fell off the wall during a meeting with a world leader.

If any of that tacky crap actually is real gold, you can bet TACO Don wil rip it all out before he exits, so that may save the transition decorators a few minutes.
