Some people think gold shows they are rich when in reality just shows a lot of bad taste. Btw poor people can have the same fireplace using.dolar store spray lol
I hate to beat this very dead horse, but tacky is the thing that least jumps out at me here. I mean. This literally looks like Nazi decor. The eagles, the frowning busts, the ornateness, like…
New money energy.
I also didn’t notice it until my friend pointed it out to me a month ago. I was too busy being upset when Trump and Vance bullied Zelenskyj to notice their hip hop gangsta crib at the time.
Only thing he’s missing now is the golden shower.
I’m GLAD we Gutted my VA Benefits to be Able to afford THAT!
Looks really byzantine, kinda something some russian tzar would have done if they were re-decorating
Looks like it was designed by a dictator from the middle east
Hey, relax guy
Well you’re half right.
Wouldn’t even be surprised if someone from MBS’s team is involved
MBS
Mohammed Ben Sulayem? President of the International Automobile Federation (FIA) who is trying to be a corrupt dictator of Formula 1 racing?

(obligatory /s)
Maybe their new friend, Al Qaida Jolani the headchopper’s influence?
Well they invariably are the US best friends.
Bad thing happens in the West
Liberals: “What are we, a bunch of Asians?!?!”
Tankies just can’t stop simping for dictators with pathetic disingenous strawmen.
Apparently criticising Western Exceptionalism = “simping for dictators”
I’m increasingly convinced that liberals don’t even think words mean anything anymore beyond signalling what team you’re on.
When you read the description “dictator from the middle east” and you believe that it is an attack on Asians in general, you do not understand that not everybody from the Middle East is Asian or a dictator.
What exactly do you think their point was?
Just look below. Pretty clearly to call the other person a racist.
The irony obviously being that this is about the interior design of the White House and calling it “designed by a dictator from the middle east” is about as bad of an insult as “designed by a king from europe”. It only really works as a racist statement, when you believe in Western Exceptionalism.
It only really works as a racist statement, when you believe in Western Exceptionalism.
This Is some laughable mental gymnastics! I assure you that I don’t believe in Western exceptionalism.
The reason looking at Trump’s ugly, ego-stroking, interior design choices and saying they “look like a middle eastern dictator designed it” is racist, is because it Orientalizes the middle east, not as a place with diverse peoples, politics, and yes, interior design senses.
But instead papers over that diversity and paints Trump’s gaudy displays as unbecoming of a western leader, more akin to that of an imagined barbaric Oriental Despotism
Saying Trump’s design sense is “Like a middle eastern dictator” is very different from saying it’s “like a European king”. The former sits within a of a long history of Oriental racism perpetuated by Europeans, against people’s the Global South.
Please read Orientalism by Edward Said, I’m begging you people!
Go back to your reddit
A white man redecorated the Whitehouse and the person I responded to went “This Looks like a brown guy redecorated!” I don’t think I’m the one who needs to go back to reddit
and the person I responded to went “This Looks like a brown guy redecorated!"
Yeah? Is that what they said?
Looks like it was designed by a dictator from the middle east
Yes.
I think you’re the racist one here.
Wanna explain that one, Sherlock?
All tinpot dictators prefer this kind of “style”.
That Gadaffi Drip
More like gadawful drip
Touche
No no no. Don’t touche that guy! Toucheing on Epsteins island is what got trump INTO this mess!
Honestly he’s not even doing THAT particularly well. This looks like it could be achieved in about half an hour with a trip to a craft store and a truly batshit amount of gold spray paint.
That’s probably how they did it.
His polling is wild and all over the place. He’s underwater, but so are the dems.
This picture makes me fucking ashamed to be an american. What a backward-ass shithole country we’ve become.
And the election was not even rigged. You did this to yourselves in plain sight. It is super duper pathetic. From the boldest, most inspiring nation in the world to an insane, self-mutilating idiocracy in like a couple of decades. What the fuck!
Let’s be clear, all US elections are rigged in many different ways. This is why the Texas gerrymandering is an issue as well as North Carolina in the past, and I’m glossing over a lot of cases and other methods that are used because it isn’t worth my time mentioning more than those two.
Another fact: one electoral vote accounts for 195,000 people in Wyoming and over 700,000 people in Texas, Florida or California.
How does any of this matter when Trump won the popular vote? You can’t get around the fact that more than 50% of voters voted for Trump.
I totally agree that your political system is fucked, but let’s not fool ourselves into thinking that Trump won because he cheated the system or the election was rigged. Trump won because he convinced people to vote on him, and that’s the real problem.
That does not affect the Presidential election. Nice try.
The election was stolen by the Americans that could not even bother to show up and vote. People keep telling me that it is not the fault of people that did not vote for Trump.
Yes it is.
I think in Pennsylvania, there were boxes and boxes of ballots abandoned in the woods. In Arizona, a UPS collection box was set on fire in a democratic majority area. There are more direct ways to steal an election than hacking systems. “Here you go grandma, just sign here”
Irregularities != illegitimacy. Independent polling support that Trump had around half of the popular vote. One percent either direction may have changed the outcome but it doesn’t change the legitimacy of the office, either way it was a very close race that either Harris or Trump could have legitimately won.
Therefore it is an absolute braindead take to say that Americans didn’t choose this. They did. That’s not incompatible with the theory that Trump cheated. But the American people doesn’t get to eschew their responsibility in this. Fuck this “no-one admits they voted for Hitler” bullshit.
Voter roll purges, where and how many polling places, misinformation mailers and calls, super PACs, electoral college, etc. This election, and most every other election, was totally rigged. They suppress voting in huge ways. They hold it on a Tuesday and it’s not a national holiday. Even if your job doesn’t outright stop you from going, a lot of people can’t afford to take that time and go vote. All of this is well documented and carefully orchestrated. Yes, people voted for Trump, but if shit wasn’t rigged he would never even have been on the ballot. Yes, Americans are to blame for this outcome, but it’s not just the voters. This outcome is decades in the making. They just haven’t been nearly so effective in elections past.
Oh bullshit. It’s one of the most used and most effective voter suppression tactics. Do you know how many people don’t vote because “Texas is red, so it doesn’t matter”?
It affects statewide races. Anyone telling you it doesn’t is either ignorant or a complete piece of shit trying to convince you of something.
Stop trying to find someone to blame and fight to get him out of office now.
Actually, it’s your fault for not volunteering all your time to Harris or donating all your money to her campaign.
No it was rigged. That’s why they cried so hard when trump lost the first time. They all cried voter fraud because they were doing it themselves, after all, how could a cheater lose unless the other side is also cheating? They just learned how to do it better this time. Dump even talked about how muskrat knew all about voting machines. No one will ever convince me otherwise.
…it may have been… there’s some evidence of tampering on the devices. Believing that helps me sleep at night.
Well trump literally bragged that musk used his resources to tamper with voting machines.
Putin said that he hoped Trump would win and admitted to authorizing large “operations” (read: massive astroturfing campaigns at the least) the help trump win. Clear foreign government election tampering.
Not to mention that in 2020, every single republican blew up and made accusations that the election was tampered with and throughout the past 2 decades of history at least, literally every single time that they mass accused people of doing something, it was because they were projecting and they, themselves were doing it. They were obsessed with accusing the other side of voting machine tampering, if it was projecting, then they themselves were likely doing it or attempting it.
Additionally that there is a far-fetched (read, no presented evidence) report from an ex-cia whistleblower that it was tampered with
A conspiracy theory that I personally think wouldn’t be crazy is that the voting machine tampering was already done in 2020 by the republicans on a very small scale as a proof of concept, and they made a massive multi-month campaign on it, tired everyone, judges and population alike on the baseless claims they made so that when they full-scale began vote tampering, nobody would believe anyone that wanted to investigate possible vote machine tampering. They might have weaponized the boy who cried wolf principle.
What is inspiring about stealing land to build a racist, genocidal, capitalist empire ?
My thoughts exactly. At least in 2016 we had the small consolation of him losing the popular vote. Now we see exactly what this country is and it’s just sad.
Do you? Who is in power and what is the plan?
From the boldest, most inspiring nation in the world
Jesus Christ, and you’re saying this about the Bush era. Americans really are the most propagandised people on Earth. Pure zealots
A concerted effort by parties interested in destabilizing the boldest and most inspiring nation in the world. Sure has been something to watch and be a part of. Future feels incredibly uncertain. Good luck, rest of world!
He got 49.9% of the popular vote.
You’re only ashamed now?
Started with Dubya but now it’s in full effect.
They’re only ashamed when their team doesn’t win. Every bad thing they did was totally valid because again, it was their team.
It’s called “American values” where the only thing that matters is winning and crimes against humanity don’t matter.
This is what makes you ashamed to be American? You need to work on your priorities.
Painting over a pedophile’s mistakes is going to be the theme in America for an entire generation.
Dude has a gold fetish. Your president, america. Choke on it.
Jesus, that is so gaudy.
If you ever get another Dem president, which is doubtful, it’s going to take a minute to hose out the whore flair from the White House.
We need a working class president not some corrupt neoliberal democrat with no teeth
You will never get a working class president if change doesn’t happen locally first. Young people don’t vote in local elections and young people don’t put themselves on the ballot of local elections. It’s why actual change at the top will never happen. You can’t expect the average Joe, who isn’t very politically engaged, to vote for a socialist president if they have never experienced what a socialist politician can do for them. That experience needs to happen at the local level. The US needs more Mamdani’s across the entire country and not just in New York.
The reason why Dump is president and co-opted the GOP is because the Tea Party started winning local elections first and pushing out Republican incumbent. They created the momentum so a moron like Drumpf could win a presidential primary.
And they didn’t just do it in political elections even non political elections like school board elections etc. were captured by the Tea Party.
The left needs to copy the Tea Party playbook.
I agree with all your points but I would like to point out that the tea party was billionaire backed not grass roots
buddy you need more than 2 fucking parties to begin with
There are over 100 registered parties in the US. For all the good they do.
Electing a working class president won’t fix this. The system needs to be abolished.
We need to learn to build our own, parallel system of people’s bottom-up power.
The corporate dems fight those harder than any republican.
Good luck with that.
It’ll take 4 years to get the stink out of the WH.
Just in time for donald Jr to start from where daddy left it.
Class vs cheep ass
“Daddy always said, you can’t by class, but you can watch people try”
I guess you meant to say ‘buy’
This seems to be a Daddy issue, clearly quoted verbatim 😏
Facts.
Typo and you meant cheap?
Oops!
No, that’s fake news. He didn’t make a typo, that’s just alternative spelling.
This really is the American liberal in a nut shell: “at least our monstrous war criminal had class!”
Did… You not see the same picture we did?
Of course I did, I just don’t care. The problem with Trump isn’t that he’s garish, and Biden wasn’t not a monster just because he was not garish
They why say anything? Don’t support child rapists.
I said something because I’m sick of liberals acting like being crass is worse than being child raping war criminal
Lol
Keir Stürmer and Genocide Joe
classI mean fuck trump but you dont have to hand it to the pair genocidaire
Pretty sure the commenter was talking about the interior design
I read it as comparing bidens way of decorating vs trumps way, calling Biden classy. Most of the comments seem to dunk on Trump.
I doubt Biden had anything to do with the decorations, the fireplace and decoration were probably like that before he took office.
It does look like something was stolen from the fireplace in the biden picture, which is explained by trump’s loss
That’s a fair reading
They don’t care about genocide or anything that’s outside their navelstaring country.
Yesterday the libs complained about an anti-genocide post here bcs they used X.
The blue MAGA battle against red MAGA is way more important to them.
All they want is to go back to their bubble of ‘democracy’ where they keep the fascism for their foreign policy.
Lets make sure to note that the europeans aren’t any better. Plenty fedditors here with a superiority complex.
Thanks for your whataboutism.
If by ‘Europeans’ you mean our sell out US vasal governments and EU leaders then sure, they aren’t any better.
But that’s not the people.
Unlike the supporters of the fascist-lite wing of their uniparty perfectly willing to ignore this inconvenient genocide as long as they win.
So besides those 2 huge factions that form the bulk of your population there’s not much left is there?
So we aren’t as scummy as you all out of pure self-interest.
You can mislabel that as a superiority complex if that helps you sleep.Oh please, I am eur*pean and live in eur*pe. The people here are exactly like this. Our sell out US vassal goverments get cheered on loudly for throwing more and more public money into the US MIC to arm nazis in Ukraine, for cracking down on “antisemitism” (by silencing “antisemitic” jews e.g.). Thanks for being such a nice example of what I’m talking about.
We are owned by the US true, but it’s not like there is resistance against it. And we will have to answer for our crimes when our time comes.
Removed by mod
I dont know which part of Europe you’re in but there isn’t really any noticeable resistance to our support of the Occupation Regime Of West PAlestine here in germ*ny. Freedom protests get like a dozen people and thats it. Granted Genocidesmany is the most whipped dog right after TERF island but I’ve not heard any better news from any other so-called country. Some resistance in Greece to orowpean tourists, Lefty Italian football fans doing cool chants but thats pretty much it. The Freedom protests in Seppoland were way bigger with sit-ins at unis and everything.
Europe isn’t a country. You’re going to have to be more specific.
navelstaring subcontinent then.
That’s not being more specific.
There’s 47 countries in Europe. Each with its own foreign policy.
Saying “the europeans aren’t any better” makes no sense.
That’s like saying “the South Americans aren’t any better”, “the Africans aren’t any better” or “the Asians aren’t any better”.
Who are you talking about?
Wow, you really destroyed their point with semantics 🙄
Europe is not of the size of South America, Africa or Asia. Neither in land mass nor in amount of people. Talking about euro “culture” is as specific as talking about seppo “culture”, if not more so. I’m sure you’d have no problem talking about Indian culture, and they are even bigger than europe, with more diverse cultures.
