Even Liberace knew on some level that it was all a gag and he kept his tongue firmly planted in his cheek. But Donald Trump doesn’t know. He’s serious as a heart attack about all this. To him this looks good, this intersection of CostCo and Versailles. Wood appliques and gold spray paint cans tremble nowadays, as only ketchup bottles used to do. They know the awful fate in store for them. And remember, to Trump this looks “good.” We don’t want to know what overdone and tacky might look like to him.
Looks like a rummage sale from the tackiest whorehouses he could find. Is he melting down Fort Knox to take it with him?

And it almost got worse than this, but the laws of physics managed to save the Oval Office from further desecration. Trump had an elaborate golden chandelier prepped to go onto the ceiling but engineers at the White House warned him that the ceiling wouldn’t hold it. Plus, we couldn’t have some dangerous instrumentality that might fall from the ceiling on conk Trump on his noggin, now could we?

Actually, CostCo meets Versailles might be too tasteful for this place. More like Home Depot meets Fantasy Island. Nobody but Trump thinks that this looks good. Well, Melania, possibly. But you’ve seen her taste in both clothing and decoration for years now. As long as it’s eye catching, it’s done its job. That is the sum of Melania’s *taste.*
Trump has never had good taste. pic.twitter.com/iYpTsmIuDm

There you have it, a pauper’s idea of how a rich man must live. At least Barron has grown since this picture was taken. If anything, his parents have gone backwards. It’s very much the Peter Principle at action. Trump hit his peak with The Apprentice. When he got elected president the first time, pure Peter Principal. He had fallen upwards into a job for which he was totally unqualified.
Now, in Trump 2.0, he’s still as unqualified as ever but he’s more demented and physically challenged than ever before. So now it’s The Apprentice: Nursing Home Edition. Coming live to a TV set near you, 365 days of the year, between now and January, 2029.
Hang on. The ride’s just begun and it’s only getting bumpier.
Aiming for ‘Italian’
Landing on ‘Iranian’
Understatement is the essence of class. His grandfather ran a brothel in the Klondike during the gold rush. Sex meets gold seems to have passed down to the prodigal grandson.
In his blissful ignorance, Trump doesn’t know what the hell Versailles means, but he’s been to the sultans’ palaces so he knows what tacky looks like, and he loves it. The decor at his penthouse and at Mar-a-Lardo were warm-ups for the Oval Office and we should await his ballroom with bated breath (and held noses).
Shudder to think the Oval Office could become a cheapened view room knockoff, like the mausoleum, in Moscow, but for the tasteless and tacky deceased carcass of Trump. He has other notorious notables to superficially upstage: Ho Chi Minh, Georgi Dimitrov, Kim Il-sung and Kim Jong-il. All have also been embalmed, preserved and kept in their own mausoleum. Trump could give it a crack, and pick the most inappropriate place possible, as he’s certainly got a tasteless ego fo it. Then again, there’s his ballroom. Erk to it asl.
