Mats Holberg 🇺🇦 🇵🇸My god, it’s a gilded junk shop!
(I knew it was bad, but all the tacky gewgaws seem to have multiplied.)
Michael Wyman@Holberg I’ve seen antique stores with more design taste.
@mwyman And the shock, perhaps, of seeing it in a space we’ve always known without really noticing subtle, tasteful changes unless an article pointed out why a president chose this or that.
@Holberg there was usually the subtle changes in artwork, but usually just different portraits or placements. Then the tasteful but noticeable tweak between blue and red carpets/drapes.
Trump’s insistence on gold everything just makes the whole place look chintzy.
gizmonicus@gizmonicus @Holberg Trump wants it to resemble the Kremlin, or the palace in St. Petersburg. (He’s not high-class enough to think about Versailles.) And yeah, specifically not meant to be a palace.
Femme Malheureuse@mwyman @gizmonicus @Holberg Can't help but think of this advertisement whenever I think of Trump's gold-leafed excess.
