You know those guys who subtly photoshopped extra medals onto North Koreans or added a half inch of length to Trump's ties? It like he's doing this to the Oval for real, just adding a few new gilt fripperies and fandangles every day. - ThreadSky

Noticed a bunch of these ornate gold medallions slapped all over the Oval Office. We found em on Alibaba. “High-density Home Decoration Polyurethane Appliques Ornament PU Foam Veneer Accessories” from seller Guangzhou Homemax Decorative Material Limited.

Third world dictator chic decor.

Whose job is it to spray paint them gold?

toffph.bsky.social•42 days ago

The ones on the walls look really effing stupid. The mantle ones are tacky, but don't look too terribly out of place.

lulumississippi.bsky.social•42 days ago

Tacky AF.

Trump is an odious douchebag but bet wall hangings in the oval are not plastic.

johnlinen.bsky.social•42 days ago

If the designs were exactly the same maybe there would be some question but they are not exactly the same so it's a stretch to assume they're plastic.

helenkennedy.bsky.social•42 days ago

lol. Bet you a million billion dollars.

mlkelly.bsky.social•42 days ago

Evidence of the cheap and the tacky.

ajmirabelle.bsky.social•42 days ago

It's the TEMU presidency.

tomwild.bsky.social•42 days ago

Oval Office isn’t listed as an application, though. 😂

helenkennedy.bsky.social•42 days ago

They should use a photo and update the page!

ddibble.bsky.social•42 days ago

There is precedent for this look (May 2002, GWB in Moscow)

helenkennedy.bsky.social•42 days ago

This is what people with no breeding and delusions of grandeur think is "elegant."

deborahrz.bsky.social•42 days ago

I just figured that he shopped a Temu buy four get one free special on gold plated crap.

rmspinafore.bsky.social•42 days ago

Literal (community theater) set decoration.

johnnywallflower.com•42 days ago

They’re not the same. The plastic ones are probably a knockoff.

llnyc.bsky.social•42 days ago

I’m still not over what he did to the Plaza.

unclecracker.bsky.social•42 days ago

Absolutely not surprised.
Always classy, always

He's such a putz.

I will have you know I took a deep breath, examined my well-endowed vocabulary for an adequate noun to reflect his character, and, after careful thought, this is what I came up with.

He is a putz.

He's not a low-level putz. No, he's achieved "putz-ness" to the nth degree.
