Remember when tyrants and warlords had class? Trump has less class than the literal historical Attila the Hun.

When this [toasting] ceremony was over the cup-bearers retired, and tables, large enough for three or four, or even more, to sit at, were placed next the table of Attila, so that each could take of the food on the dishes without leaving his seat. The attendant of Attila first entered with a dish full of meat, and behind him came the other attendants with bread and viands, which they laid on the tables. A luxurious meal, served on silver plate, had been made ready for us and the barbarian guests, but Attila ate nothing but meat on a wooden trencher. In everything else, too, he showed himself temperate; his cup was of wood, while to the guests were given goblets of gold and silver.

Attila gave his guests and followers the best he had. He showered his followers with luxury of every kind imaginable. Imagine walking into a grand banquet hall. You see dozens of barbarian warriors eating off gold and silver plates, drinking from golden cups, decked in fine silks and jewelry of all kinds. At the center of the room sits a lone man, dressed in simple furs, eating off a wooden plate, drinking out of an old wooden cup. That was Atilla.

It's the authoritarian version of penis envy

The Aristocrats?

"Restoring Dignity Minute by Minute", just an old man or woman slowly and quietly peeling away gold foil. I'd watch.

I am pretty sure it is just shitty craft-store gold paint. My family and I were in DC for a short visit a couple months ago and I could see gold coloring on light fixtures and other places which seemed so out of place, I am certain some boot-licking cretin in the National Parks dept arranged to have it applied to appeal to our Dear Leader. But yeah, I am thinking we will need a giant roll-away dumpster at the White House to handle the clean-up when he is finally gone.

Just want point out there's actually been a bunker under the east wing of the white house since at least WW2. The second floor of the old wing was added partly as cover for the expansion of the bunkers under it.

These are the bunkers Trump hid in while protestors were out front of the White House in 2020.

I'd probably do something corny like remodel it to be a free admission museum or something.

After Obama Victory, Shrieking White-Hot Sphere Of Pure Rage Early GOP Front-Runner For 2016

Doubt it. While the racism was a really fun distraction, life has gotten bad enough for most racist white people to just become disaffected. Many of them who voted for Trump 2 years ago will just stay home now.

On the other hand, saying the N word on camera would very likely activate even more black voters. Due to Dobbs and other disenfranchisement efforts, that demographic is turning out in record numbers already. Hearing the president confirm how racist his party is with a single word could probably get the most uninformed people to head to the polls.

The GOP is scared of Trump's N-word rants, they kept Apprentice out takes under wraps with Mark Burnett:

Bill Pruitt (May 2024): Former Apprentice producer Bill Pruitt wrote an essay in Slate stating that during the first season in 2004, Trump was recorded on camera questioning whether America would "buy a n— winning" when discussing Black finalist Kwame Jackson. Pruitt claimed the conversation took place in a boardroom in front of other staffers

Omarosa Manigault Newman (2018): In her memoir Unhinged, former Apprentice contestant and White House aide Omarosa Manigault Newman claimed she was told by multiple sources that outtake recordings existed of Trump using the slur during the show's first season.

Also witnessed by Tom Arnold.

So with a little more poking and a little dementia sprinkled on top, we could hear the N-bomb before Tuesday.

But chain-store tacky is kinda Trump's whole deal.

I can’t help but feel chain-store tacky being what they took offense to when he was literally being compared to the personality of Sadam Hussain, one of the most, if not THE most, hated enemies of the U.S. my entire life up until he was killed, to be more than a bit telling. Especially considering it seems that nobody, including his most avid supporters, has ever been unaccepting/unaware of the fact that he is the T.G.I. Fridays of a president, that was part of his whole appeal to them.

It was a resturant chain that mostly died out during the pandemic. Im sure some are still around.

It was also a bit in Super Troopers 2001

I don’t, and point taken
