I hope he kept the receipt so we can return it.
Oh, shit. He’s going to start sticking gold colored crap all over the outside now.
The Oval Office looks like what you would find if his NYC apartment threw up.
It’s not even that old. The British might have done a bit of burning of the one completed in 1800 in that whole 1812 debacle.
“This is gold, Mr. Bond. All my life, I’ve been in love with its color, its brilliance, its divine heaviness. I welcome any exercise that will allow me to increase my displays of it, which are considerable.”
Has he said who the gift is from? Surely not from him, he’d have to part with cash for that and we know he hates to do that.
Not to worry. The image is almost certainly AI-generated.
Per CNN:
But the image does not appear to be a real photograph, based on small differences between the railing of the balcony in the picture and the real-life Truman Balcony. The shield also features 11 stars, as opposed to 13, which traditionally reflect the original 13 colonies at the time of America’s founding.
The image also has content credentials in its metadata that indicate it was created with Google AI.
So his “gift” is a fake image. That’s appropriate.
Ah, what a relief! I thought for a minute trump had actually done something tacky and / or destructive to cheapen and demean the White House and its grounds. Thank God that’s not the case!
Also 11 stripes.
Maybe Trump is choosing to ignore Massachusetts and Rhode Island, since they are the most left-leaning today of the original 13 colonies.
There were, however, 11 Confederate states.
Oh, good catch.
Wanna’ bet he actually does it? He’ll get himself a crony to make and install it with a no bid contract. The cost will ballon out of reality. It will fall off/peel/ fail in some way. He will blame Barack HUSSEIN Obama/Sleepy Joe Biden/rsandom passers by somewhere/antifa/vandals/add your own. And we will pay for it, and chances are he’s gonna’ pocket a bunch of money.
Oh, he’s still at it. Looking at the White House live cam you can see scaffolding on the North Portico. Trump has been talking about changing the columns from Ionic style to Corinthian like Mar-a-Lago. I guess we will see if that’s what he’s up to here. You can also see the cranes working on The Great National Security Facility and Ballroom.
I smell (another) lawsuit…
I know, believe me. I guess I should have added a ‘/s’ at the end of my post.
My dad, who has dementia, cannot tell obvious AI slop from real. Guess who else has the same issue? Good thing my dad doesn’t have a job or hold an elected position.
Or control a nuclear arsenal or the fate of tens of thousands of Haitian and Syrian immigrants.
And then it will be “ooops, I guess we need to tear the entire building down.”
I’m another who is on-record, on this site, with that prediction.
Of course there’s always Saturday’s festivities as another excuse (if one is needed) for tearing down the White House. ‘OH NOES, stray fireworks started a conflagration we couldn’t put out, because all the construction equipment on the grounds kept the firetrucks from getting in close enough!!!1!!!’
