He created a job for someone to rip all that absolute crap out.
Just to compare. Here it was under Obama.
Thanks for posting that! Whoa–what a contrast.
Obama had so much class… Sigh.
Just to underscore how ridiculous Trump is, here is how it looked in 1981, under Republican Ronald Reagan.
How it looked through history since Taft
Somehow, I get the feeling that among the first things the next President says will be, “Somebody get all this shit out of here.”
So different tastes, but all with restrained good taste, and now the Oval Bordello.
Oval Bordello, Pedo in Chief. It all adds up as the CTers would say. 
Is gold leaf salvageable? Given the current price of gold, if it’s worth anything maybe it could help pay for the renovation of the office back to where it was before.
That aint ‘taste’ not even close.
The key thing about gold leaf is that gold can be made into an exceedingly thin layer and still look just like gold. Such that an ounce of gold worth ~4K dollars can cover a huge amount of surface. All the cost is in the labor to apply or remove it. None of which labor can be sold to recoup expenses.
Really interesting–thanks!
Trump got on Truth Social early Christmas morning and posted dozens – I think hundreds of tweets AKA truths. Maybe thousands. In any event, more than even I can get thorough. Most are posted twice. Most are re-tweets, but “throw her out,” her being Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-Minnesota), he wrote himself. That is, unless he delegated Steven Cheung, but I doubt Cheung was working at 1 AM on Christmas. Or maybe he was? I checked Gemini and ChatGPT for Cheung’s religion, but neither knows.
Examples of the Christmas spirit:
Prosecute Barack Hussein Obama.
75 percent of Somalis are on full welfare,(whatever that is).
Post after post after post on alleged 2020 election fraud in Georgia. I feel we Pennsylvanians were left out, but maybe I didn’t read down far enough.

Reminds me of a bumper sticker I saw a couple months ago:
Are we great yet?
'Cuz I just feel embarrassed.
It comes in different thicknesses and purities. The one I mathed is from sheets of 22k gold weighing 19 grams per 1,000 3.375x3.375 inch sheets. Which comes to around 130 square feet per ounce of gold.
This Truth Christmas tweet, on Truth Social (quoted here from the Raw Story web site), deserves to be the dictionary example for the cliché “trying to have it both ways”:
So dropping a friend when things get HOT is disgraceful, unless you drop your friend at first sign they are in trouble, which is apparently wonderful.
Now, there is a way to spin this as Trump quickly doing the more-or-less right thing. I don’t believe that. But anyone who thinks Trump is an idiot, or suffering from dementia, may want to ponder this tweet. Although I suspect someone helped Trump write this, the idea was probably his, and he was sensible enough to accept edits.
The tweet finishes up:
Does that mean he won’t be president next year?
That is a positive perspective.
To me it has an ominous twist.
My suspicion is that these “private people” will be genteel pirates, whose only motivation is to politely confiscate the illicit substances…
… and promptly sell them for massive proft back home.
What could go wrong?
To be fair, the man is a leading expert of the pros and cons of steam driven vs electric catapaults on aircraft carriers.
