You can always tell someone who

attempts interior design but has no taste but thinks they do. They take every bit of space and feel that something "needs to be there" and so they end up packing a room full of all kinds of things and there ends up being nothing nothing but a massive clutter that looks like someone packed all the furniture/accessories in from the next 5 rooms because they were painting and shampooing the rugs in those rooms.

That is what you see now in the Oval Office. It looks like an overcrowded flea market and I'm surprised Crumb the 1st didn't include some folding tables with his merch spread across them for sale with some flashing signs with the word "Sale". But this lack of taste and proportion is present throughout everything about Crumb The 1st and Melanie. Not only in their "decorating" style but also in their personal attire.

Goodness sake those gigantic hats she wears end up looking like someone standing in a corner with a lampshade on their head. She better have lead in those shoes or keep a tight grip on something because if a wind came along she'd be airborne like Sally Field in "The Flying Nun".

Crumb The 1st himself with 10,000 identical navy suits in his wardrobe and that butt ugly red tie begs the question of whether anybody ever told him they come in different colors. But for some reason the idea of a gray suit or black one is just not in the cards. When he goes out on the golf course did he ever think to ask if polo/golf shirts come in something other than white? Is he blind as he walks through a pro shop or sees other men on the course?

It all goes to show that people can have power and money and still be slobs without taste.

I think he is trying to re-live his "happy endings" and still competing with Epstein.

You'd just have to show Drumpf an exorbitant cost and assure him somebody else would pay for it, and he'd think it was the highest of high class.

I'm reminded of the daughter of an old boss, who shopped only at Dayton's Oval Room (you have to be from Minneapolis for this, but trust me) and made sure to let everybody know it. When 'Western' was in, she had the most expensive outfit that looked exactly like Buffalo Bob from Howdy Doody in a skirt and wore it weekly. I had considerable trouble talking to her with a straight face. But it was By God pricey, so it must have been good.

Both the Malignant Moron and his wife are this type - they know the cost of everything, the value of nothing, and apparently don't own a mirror. I wonder how much of their stuff actually comes from discount shops, with the labels switched. It would be easy to do.

He’s got all kinds of flags, statues, and junk in there, it appears too cluttered and junky. It certainly doesn’t look like the office of the President of the United States.
