There's probably a world where Trump was a tiny bit smarter and got an education in interior design to start a new brass movement. Probably the same world where hitler went into architecture after WW1 and is rebound for being a father of brutalism.
One of his extended family members has a house in the UK and it's really close to where I live and I sometimes have to go down there and look at it because it's quite spectacularly tacky. They're never going to be able to sell it on because Pablo Escobar would think the gold leaf was overdone.
Why do all these fuckers like gold leaf so much? It doesn't look all that good and it doesn't clean all that well.
I saw a comment on reddit a few years ago that said something like, "Trump's idea of being rich is what an 8 year old would think being rich means."
Who else would be impressed by a gold toilet?
Because with the exception of like one person the entire family is messed up. Most rich people buy large houses and Lamborghinis, but for some reason the trumps have the artistic taste of an 18th century monarch.
....as interpreted by a Vegas mafia run casino
Because it says "I'm rich" which to them means "I'm better than you"?
Does it though? Gold leaf is like 50 bucks a pack at home depot.
