Trump loves both gilded age tariffs and glided age decor. The gaudiness of the Oval Office has become truly overwhelming, the late 19th century wants its furnishings back.
I always laugh at people that think having tons of gold-colored rococco garbage in their house makes them classy.
Trump is a classless boor, who thinks that money makes him part of the elites. They don't like him, he's been trying to break his way into their circles for decades.
He has no idea of who any of the people in these pictures are, most he got from China in a deal, others from Putin Fakes he sells on the trump crime family web site
The decorating style, “Mature Dictator” reached its apotheosis in the last decade of Saddam Hussein’s presidency. Though considered to be hopelessly tacky, tasteless & old fashioned, Vlad Putin is a major adherent & perhaps is why Trump resurrected its gilded, baroque awfulness in the Oval Office.
Hate to fact check with Trump's tacky, but it appears to actually come from an American company. Can see it here in this screenshot. But apparently they don't make that style anymore so far as I can tell
They're far closer than the Alibaba version. I'm almost positive these are the same. Google Lens directs you to the same website for both pieces. It's just the gold muddles some of the details + lack of resolution for both pics
Probably many similar products available, generally though there’s not much else it could be. Optimistically it could be a carved wooden appliqué but many of those would be machine-made in China too
Ok, hold up... Where have all of you sudden art/decor/fashion critics been during current and former Versace... and everything else that is "cool for Miami or West Palm". This is very much in keeping with a South Florida aesthetic & only surprising that Melania didn't set up camp this way in 2017.

I kinda like "zooty", perhaps because, like trump's style, it's bygone too.
Thanks go to @merriam-webster.com
All the glory that was Versailles.
Obligatory: "Did Bibi even say Thank You?"

Like holy shit, that ivy is in every single shot of that part of the White House going back forever. Just put it the fuck back.

If my sources in the inferno are right, his eternal torment will involve molten gold, a funnel and his asshole.
