Children are starving and the president is focused on renovating white house bathrooms with gold fixtures. He is certainly following Nero's footsteps.

Holy shit is that tacky.

Can you imagine the president having nothing better to do than golf, take pictures of the bathroom, and fuck children?

    I get it, he wants to make it feel like home if he's gonna be living there for the rest of his life.

    He won't be stepping down from this gig, he knows the consequences he'll have to face if he becomes a normal citizen again.

    I get it, he wants to make it feel like home if he’s gonna be living there for the rest of his life.

    Much of the White House was decorated by Jackie Kennedy, and her husband ended up spending the rest of his life there, so maybe this will be the same thing...

    Trump even recently said it's "pretty clear" he can't run for a 3rd term.

    Stop perpetuating this doomer nonsense.

    He wouldn't be desperately trying to gerrymander states to keep Senate seats if he truly thought he was a king.

    Authoritarianism only works when you get so emotionally beaten down that you acquiesce in advance.

    He also said he'd never heard of Project 2025 - until he began to implement it. His supporters had been beating the drum for months.

    He said he believed in states rights - until some states didn't tow his line.

    He said he can't run for a third term, but has also said "that's a shame" and his cronies are beating that drum too "with a plan"

    The gerrymandering is to lock in gop supremacy for once he's gone.

    I'm more than happy to be proven wrong - hell, I really hope I am, but fool me once...

    During Nixon's renovations he embedded so many bugs and wires in the walls it interfered with the structural integrity of the plaster.

    So there's precedent for counter-surveillance scrubdowns.

    But, that only happens if the WH is taken back from the dictator inside it.

    1. Holy shit how fucked are are that this is even news. I hate this so much.

    2. I hate when a stupid motherfucker is right because, outside the gold, the marble looks way fuckin better than that green.

    3. To claim that marble and gold is somehow more era appropriate for Lincoln is pretty standard Trump-alternate-reality delusion fueled by narcissism.

    Agreed on all counts aside from 2.

    The original had class and functionality, complete with datum lines and concealed lighting. It was aged, for sure, but the design comes together and looks comfortable.

    The new one is literally just slabs of maybe real marble but i doubt it. There's no demarcation between floor and ceiling. It's as if someone just used the paint bucket tool and clicked fill. The lighting is atrocious; if you're in the bath you cop an eyeful of a glare bomb.

    I'd take the original any day. Would have probably just added sheer curtains to the windows.

    I completely agree on 2, I think the green looked like ass and the marble is a significant improvement. I don't get his obsession with gold though, brushed nickel would've gone much better in there.

    This administration does not have their priorities straight. Not paying employees, firing thousands of people, this obsession with gold. The end of USAID, so much more, it's just so disheartening.

    Guess he's really not planning to leave if he's doing this much redecorating.

    And funding it privately iirc. 100% he is not planning to leave.

    I can't say he wouldn't because he's never had any of his own.

    But I think I can guess pretty accurately that even if he somehow earned a dollar completely on his own, he probably would still try and borrow from someone else first.

    My big takeaway from these pictures is that one can take a shit by an unfrosted floor-to-ceiling window to the outside

    The after pictures is like a Minecraft house where they just used the same blocks for everything and a gold fixtures mod.

    That’s cool, all of these temporary modifications to waste tax payers money with. His style is so awful, that any new president is going to change what he changed so they don’t barf everyday. I love seeing my tax dollars get wasted while we are all out here barely surviving. Our government has failed us ladies and gentlemen.

    Trump has no taste. If it is the most expensive then it is the most appropriate, but only if it's gold and white.

    I was about to say "marble, lol. you can clearly see the tile pattern repeating in a mirror image along wall edges". But I grew suspicious so I looked it up. It's a technique called bookmatching. So, it's probably legit. It's also the most expensive kind of marble, of course, because that's what you do with taxpayer money you're entrusted to use responsibly as a servant of the nation. I'm losing my marbles

    If the next The Hunger Games prequel needs more filming locations for Panem, this gaudy-ass bathroom would fit right in.
