I know we’re not supposed to talk about people’s physical appearance anymore, but the eyes say everything. I’ve never seen these eyes anywhere else, and I haven’t even seen them in person.
They just look extraordinarily predatory. Always looking for the next ‘meal’. The next thing to gut and suck dry before they move on to the next thing. There’s no life or passion behinds them, they don’t stand for anything, it could be a democrat turned republican or a russian asset compromised by zionists, it will just zig and zag and move to the next thing until its dead.
i am going back and forth playing spot the difference and they are very clearly not the same object. left obviously looks like complete dogshit but the evidence is right there
spray painted with gold. you should see the rooms in trump tower, all gaudy, with likely not diamond crystals on the walls, the chandeliers, the giant vases.
Biden missed a chance to say 'you're fired' to Trump when he got into office. He never did since they believed it would be petty... But Trump did the same shit when he got reelected.
Dude, that's an insult to Calus. Also, he was kicked out, exiled. That's how you know it's fake: The one in power, abusing that power, faced punishment.
Trump himself was putting up gold adornments. Leavitt found him with a bottle of superglue in his hand, busy adding new decorative items to the fireplace mantel.
Holy fuck. I was wondering who he found that was actually willing to do this shit. Guess I was wrong. He's fucking doing it himself, by hand!
On one hand, that's hilariously pathetic, but on the other hand, it has got to be the closest he's ever come to doing physical labor.
Honestly, this is the most human thing I've ever heard about him. The idea that he would glue and place them himself is so very far from the "I have slaves for that" persona he projects that it's almost humble. I don't give two shits about the look, to each their own, but i can't reconcile him attaching them himself with the person he is.
Seriously. Those classical art forms were originally meant to represent something. Originally deities that people very much actually believed in. And later they served as representations of higher virtues like justice, honor, courage, etc.
Classical forms, done right, can really send a message. Look at the art in the Supreme Court building. The current occupants of that building make a mockery of it. But that building was outfitted with carefully chosen sculptures meant to reflect the highest national virtues of law and justice.
And that's the problem with this. These figures don't represent anything to Trump, beyond just being expensive and vaguely "classy." Hell, even gilding usually has artistic reasons behind it. But if you throw gold on something without any thought or feeling, it just ends up feeling trashy.
Compare Trump's collection to a piece from the actual era he's imitating. Consider this video of a mechanical table from the actual 18th century, decorated with actual gilding in the same rococo style Trump loves. This was truly a piece for an aristocrat. It was finely made by a master craftsman, at the absolute pinnacle of his art. No expense was spared. The person who bought this piece could have easily afforded to have it covered completely in gold. But notice how restrained the gilding is in comparison to Trump's pieces here. The gilding still jumps out at you, but it's meant to complement and accentuate the rest of the piece, not dominate it. Gilding was the aristocratic decor equivalent of dessert. Sure, an aristocrat wanted to have some gilding. And sure, an aristocrat would certainly serve a nice dessert at any party they held. But if you serve your guests nothing but dessert, they're going to think something is wrong with you. Some fine gilding, carefully applied, communicated the aristocratic virtues of restraint and elegance. It says, "I have so much money that I don't feel the need to show it off." But if you cover everything in gold, then or now, it just feels trashy.
Trump reminds me of the primitive alien lobsters in "Songs of Distant Earth" by Arthur Clarke. At some point they're found to appreciate human-made shiny trinkets and even wear them as bracelets and shit.
