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

He is turning it into Mar-a-Lago.

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.

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...

yea I think it's mostly fear driving his every move nowadays. He probably wants to spend his last days as unbothered as possible

If we all try really hard, we can give him a bigly stroke. Hugely.

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.
BanMe@lemmy.world · 6 pts · 299d
It's not acquiescence, it's a warning and call to arms. Jan 6 shows us he will go to extreme measures to stay in power. I do not believe he will fail again.
meathorse@lemmy.world · 5 pts · 299d
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...

His old strategist Bannon said to The Economist just last week that Trump will serve a third term, and that their criteria for success is MAGA in control of every American institution, forever

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.

Holy shit how fucked are are that this is even news. I hate this so much.
I hate when a stupid motherfucker is right because, outside the gold, the marble looks way fuckin better than that green.
To claim that marble and gold is somehow more era appropriate for Lincoln is pretty standard Trump-alternate-reality delusion fueled by narcissism.
Strawberry@lemmy.blahaj.zone · 27 pts · 300d
I think the marble looks weird as fuck and would make the bathroom uncomfortable to be in, while the green tile is very pleasing and cozy, with nice accents
brem@sh.itjust.works · 20 pts · 300d
Gold is tacky as fuck and that dude wouldn't know good taste even if it was sold at the bottom of a ketchup bottle.

Maybe it's not even up to him to decide. Oh well. He did. Now we have more ugly. He makes everything smell like farts.

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.
Mr_WorldlyWiseman@lemmy.blahaj.zone · 2 pts · 298d
That kind of marble is pretty dated in 2025 too, it's 5-10 years overdone at this point.
Stabbitha@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 299d
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.

Trump spending his own money?
adaveinthelife@lemmy.ca · 3 pts · 298d
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.
AnUnusualRelic@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 298d
That certainly seems to fit more with the Trump I've seen so far. His spending his own money, especially on something semi-public would make no sense at all.

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.

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
