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.
Only thing he’s missing now is the golden shower.
He got that already got that in Moscow
I’m GLAD we Gutted my VA Benefits to be Able to afford THAT!
Looks really byzantine, kinda something some russian tzar would have done if they were re-decorating
His polling is wild and all over the place. He’s underwater, but so are the dems.
Dude has a gold fetish. Your president, america. Choke on it.
Painting over a pedophile’s mistakes is going to be the theme in America for an entire generation.
Jesus, that is so gaudy.
Looks like it was designed by a dictator from the middle east
Hey, relax guy
Well you’re half right.
Wouldn’t even be surprised if someone from MBS’s team is involved
MBS
Mohammed Ben Sulayem? President of the International Automobile Federation (FIA) who is trying to be a corrupt dictator of Formula 1 racing?
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mohammed_Ben_Sulayem(obligatory /s)
Maybe their new friend, Al Qaida Jolani the headchopper’s influence?
Well they invariably are the US best friends.
Bad thing happens in the West
Liberals: “What are we, a bunch of Asians?!?!”
Tankies just can’t stop simping for dictators with pathetic disingenous strawmen.
Apparently criticising Western Exceptionalism = “simping for dictators”
I’m increasingly convinced that liberals don’t even think words mean anything anymore beyond signalling what team you’re on.
When you read the description “dictator from the middle east” and you believe that it is an attack on Asians in general, you do not understand that not everybody from the Middle East is Asian or a dictator.
What exactly do you think their point was?
Just look below. Pretty clearly to call the other person a racist.
The irony obviously being that this is about the interior design of the White House and calling it “designed by a dictator from the middle east” is about as bad of an insult as “designed by a king from europe”. It only really works as a racist statement, when you believe in Western Exceptionalism.
It only really works as a racist statement, when you believe in Western Exceptionalism.
This Is some laughable mental gymnastics! I assure you that I don’t believe in Western exceptionalism.
The reason looking at Trump’s ugly, ego-stroking, interior design choices and saying they “look like a middle eastern dictator designed it” is racist, is because it Orientalizes the middle east, not as a place with diverse peoples, politics, and yes, interior design senses.
But instead papers over that diversity and paints Trump’s gaudy displays as unbecoming of a western leader, more akin to that of an imagined barbaric Oriental Despotism
Saying Trump’s design sense is “Like a middle eastern dictator” is very different from saying it’s “like a European king”. The former sits within a of a long history of Oriental racism perpetuated by Europeans, against people’s the Global South.
Please read Orientalism by Edward Said, I’m begging you people!
Go back to your reddit
A white man redecorated the Whitehouse and the person I responded to went “This Looks like a brown guy redecorated!” I don’t think I’m the one who needs to go back to reddit
and the person I responded to went “This Looks like a brown guy redecorated!"
Yeah? Is that what they said?
Looks like it was designed by a dictator from the middle east
Yes.
I think you’re the racist one here.
Wanna explain that one, Sherlock?
All tinpot dictators prefer this kind of “style”.
That Gadaffi Drip
More like gadawful drip
Touche
No no no. Don’t touche that guy! Toucheing on Epsteins island is what got trump INTO this mess!
Honestly he’s not even doing THAT particularly well. This looks like it could be achieved in about half an hour with a trip to a craft store and a truly batshit amount of gold spray paint.
That’s probably how they did it.
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.
How does any of this matter when Trump won the popular vote? You can’t get around the fact that more than 50% of voters voted for Trump.
I totally agree that your political system is fucked, but let’s not fool ourselves into thinking that Trump won because he cheated the system or the election was rigged. Trump won because he convinced people to vote on him, and that’s the real problem.
No it was rigged. That’s why they cried so hard when trump lost the first time. They all cried voter fraud because they were doing it themselves, after all, how could a cheater lose unless the other side is also cheating? They just learned how to do it better this time. Dump even talked about how muskrat knew all about voting machines. No one will ever convince me otherwise.
…it may have been… there’s some evidence of tampering on the devices. Believing that helps me sleep at night.
Well trump literally bragged that musk used his resources to tamper with voting machines.
Putin said that he hoped Trump would win and admitted to authorizing large “operations” (read: massive astroturfing campaigns at the least) the help trump win. Clear foreign government election tampering.
Not to mention that in 2020, every single republican blew up and made accusations that the election was tampered with and throughout the past 2 decades of history at least, literally every single time that they mass accused people of doing something, it was because they were projecting and they, themselves were doing it. They were obsessed with accusing the other side of voting machine tampering, if it was projecting, then they themselves were likely doing it or attempting it.
Additionally that there is a far-fetched (read, no presented evidence) report from an ex-cia whistleblower that it was tampered with
A conspiracy theory that I personally think wouldn’t be crazy is that the voting machine tampering was already done in 2020 by the republicans on a very small scale as a proof of concept, and they made a massive multi-month campaign on it, tired everyone, judges and population alike on the baseless claims they made so that when they full-scale began vote tampering, nobody would believe anyone that wanted to investigate possible vote machine tampering. They might have weaponized the boy who cried wolf principle.
What is inspiring about stealing land to build a racist, genocidal, capitalist empire ?
My thoughts exactly. At least in 2016 we had the small consolation of him losing the popular vote. Now we see exactly what this country is and it’s just sad.
Do you? Who is in power and what is the plan?
From the boldest, most inspiring nation in the world
Jesus Christ, and you’re saying this about the Bush era. Americans really are the most propagandised people on Earth. Pure zealots
A concerted effort by parties interested in destabilizing the boldest and most inspiring nation in the world. Sure has been something to watch and be a part of. Future feels incredibly uncertain. Good luck, rest of world!
He got 49.9% of the popular vote.
You’re only ashamed now?
Started with Dubya but now it’s in full effect.
They’re only ashamed when their team doesn’t win. Every bad thing they did was totally valid because again, it was their team.
It’s called “American values” where the only thing that matters is winning and crimes against humanity don’t matter.
This is what makes you ashamed to be American? You need to work on your priorities.
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.
That sounds like the kind of stuff his base would not only enthusiastically forgive, but even celebrate for triggering the libs.
His advisors likely knows this, so when crawl around on all four to obey Putin, it’s not because his forced to but because he wants to.
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.
Look at the wall papers and chairs. The lower picture has saturation upped to the limit. But true, maybe that was the original photographer and not whoever assembled this meme.
I’m pretty sure the resolution of the lower picture is slightly higher.
It’s hard to tell because the entire thing has been compressed and reuploaded but define details seem to be better in the bottom image.
A photographer would know to make sure all that gaudiness gleams brightly to please HitlerPig.
I dunno, I think he looks terrible at any saturation.
