So, he’s gonna give them some money and a plane ticket, and then, if they’re good, he might _let them back in?_ He really _is_ making this shit up as he goes along. ---

I’d noticed the gold thingies Trump added to the Oval Office fireplace, but not the rest of the stuff. Appropriate that it looks as if he got some of his gold fiddlybits from a company on Alibaba: > **[As always, Trump's gold fetish reveals his class depth...

Just wanted to share a little irony. Trump is at war with universities for not doing enough about antisemitism, but at the same time recently pardoned an actual Nazi who wore a Camp Auschwitz sweatshirt. > **[Rioter who wore 'Camp Auschwitz' sweatshirt at Capitol arrested](https://cbsaustin.com/news/nation-world/rioter-who-wore-camp-auschwitz-sweatshirt-at-capitol-arrested)** > > A man who was photographed wearing a “Camp Auschwitz” sweatshirt during the U.

(the article is about his arrest, not his pardon, but he is one of those pardoned by Trump) ---

I think I posted this picture before, but the detail with the gold decoration from the Chinese shop is really priceless (that is: no coin small enough to buy just one): [![](https://www.thedailybeast.com/resizer/v2/TJX3DMBDVNEM7OGFIJGJX6SKCE.jpg?smart=true&auth=1eb5e639b0fc0223416fd4eedfbb590c80e21f71684241ac500e536858d13ae8&width=1600&height=900) ](https://www.thedailybeast.com/resizer/v2/TJX3DMBDVNEM7OGFIJGJX6SKCE.jpg?smart=true&auth=1eb5e639b0fc0223416fd4eedfbb590c80e21f71684241ac500e536858d13ae8&width=1600&height=900) When the cheap decoration comes out of Bibi’s mouth like a comic balloon the result is beautiful: [![](https://cdn.prod.dailykos.com/images/1421624/large/bafkreiecublxethw4ys6bj7creap3zvrrh3ypubig4uvklulllwgqsohvyjpeg1?1744792540) ](https://cdn.prod.dailykos.com/images/1421624/large/bafkreiecublxethw4ys6bj7creap3zvrrh3ypubig4uvklulllwgqsohvyjpeg1?1744792540) And in the upper picture, does anybody know what the square golden thing with the name-you-shall-not-speak-but-fart is? Almost looks like an ashtray to me, but that makes no sense (in fact, I see three things that look like ashtrays on the table). I had already noticed the thing during the Selenski fiasco, wondered whether it was a paperweight, now it looks like the 747 is fleeing from it. ---

It says ‘Trump’ on the side, so maybe it’s just a big shiny thing that Donald will look at and it’ll remind him what his name is. ---
