    What’s so stupid about this is why would a president ever have any input on something so trivial? Seriously, should he oversee the toilet paper purchasing in the capitol too?

      Trump’s whole thing is interior decorating.

      Seriously, while the world is burning, he’s most concerned with swatches (and being in the Epstein files, of course).

        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 renowned 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.

              Because it says “I’m rich” which to them means “I’m better than you”?

              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.

              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?

                I’d kinda be impressed with a solid gold or gold alloy toilet, mostly because as I understand it that would be a bitch to cast and to get working without breaking.

      Please, let him be distracted by stupid shit like that. Instead of declaring wars, kidnapping presidents and committing numerous war crimes and other crimes against humanity.

      Because being a president is like REALLY hard you guys! His name has been attached to renos that other people have managed, so surely he can do that to show that he’s good at stuff???

      At least when he’s focused on trivial bullshit he’s not coming up with new ways to tank the economy. If there’s no adults in the room to tell him no shit like this is the best option.
