1. He's hoodwinked a large

number of Repukes into thinking he's just an ordinary guy like them. Many are also affected by the same strange virus that overtook Californians who voted for Arnold. They confuse the tv persona with the person. Too many of my fellow Californians thought they were voting for the Terminator, and I suspect Trump voters think they'll have a President who gets things done by sitting in a boardroom and yelling, "You're fired!" People are idiots.

2. Not even Louis was that grand

I'm surprised the throne chair doesn't have The Donald engraved on it.

[WinkyDink]

28. Versailles?

[lumberjack_jeff]

3. The guy has intense psychological problems, doesn't he? n/t

[mahina]

4. Decor by Uday Hussein

Looks like he spent a million dollars at Sears.

[XemaSab]

17. That was pretty much my first thought

Looks like some Middle Eastern oil sheik with a solid gold toilet because F*** YOU PEASANT, that's why.

[katmondoo]

5. Will the White House look like this

In a Trump Presidency. Good Lord!!!!!!!

[pinboy3niner]

8. It's not hard to imagine what a Trump White House would look like...

(Graphic from Bartcop)

[smirkymonkey]

18. LOL! That's exactly what it will end up looking like!

It just goes to show you that all the money in the world can't buy class.

[cyberswede]

6. Oh my gaud(y)

He sure does like gilding. Yuck.

[Skidmore]

7. Presumptuous is a word that comes to mind.

....and then there is the word "tacky." It looks like an overdone hotel lobby. I'd love to see of one of the gods on the ceiling mural has a dayglo yellow combover.

[tblue37]

31. I call it "duck's foot yellow." nt

[Javaman]

9. gosh. nt

[lunatica]

10. I can picture him stumbling around empty beer cans just after waking up from the couch

Hair all standing up and stiff from hairspray, wrinkled and skewed underpants and t-shirt, scratching his exposed belly, yawning and peering out the window.

[MisterP]

11. not even Louis *XVIII* would FLUTE a marble pillar

or stick a bland machine-milled glass disc-thing on a squat Corinthian capital
and at Versailles and the Tuileries they *cleaned* the rugs and had couches that weren't from the set of "Days of Our Lives"

[hamsterjill]

12. You've just confirmed my suspicion.

That "The Donald" has crappy taste. UG-LY!

[octoberlib]

13. It looks like Las Vegas. Too gaudy.

[1939]

14. In SE Florida, there must be five hundred houses like that. NT

[hifiguy]

15. Loud, gaudy and utterly tasteless.

Just like it's inhabitant.

[onethatcares]

16. where the hell

did they find gold smiths in New Jersey and were they union?

Wonder how much the mob got as their cut on that project?

[smirkymonkey]

19. The very definition of tacky.

It's so sad there are so many disgustingly rich people that can find nothing better to do with their money than build shrines to exhibit their outrageous bad taste.

[ohheckyeah]

20. I agree.

Tacky, tacky, tacky.

[hifiguy]

21. Trump is nothing if not a spectacular vulgarian.

[WinkyDink]

22. No, actually it was Louis XIV. See article:

23. Money can't buy class.

I know, we live in a classless society- in a good way, right? RIGHT.

But seriously, I think part of tRumpf's appeal to the lumpen is that he's not a high class person. He's a peasant with money.

What the brahmins used to call nouveau riche. No matter how much money he has, he will always be a low class person, to use his own almost fixated term.

His father had a lot of money. tRumpf wasn't educated at Andover, Exeter, Groton, St. Paul's, Concord Academy, or any of the many other fine prep schools that scions of wealth shuttle their kids off to for education and the rules of the game. He went to a military school, which is code for he was uncontrollable.

If you were a zillionaire's kid and you chose military school over the happy days at Andover or Exeter, you were an idiot. More likely, his father sent him to military school because he was a little asshole.

I am not saying that fine minds didn't emerge from military high school, to be clear. But no graduate of a good prep school would decorate like that, nor would they be so grotesquely boastful. People learn how to behave from their peers and personality develops from bouncing off of others. I'd love to hear from some of his high school besties. Bet there aren't any.

24. Joan Rivers had similar tastes -

but she had a sense of humor about it:

and

Me, I could never relax in a place like that. It'd be like living in a museum. I used to wonder who'd buy that stuff but when I saw a cable TV special about Michael Jackson before his death, there he was in an antique shop pointing here n' there saying I'll take that and that and that (same style French antiques) I thought: NOW I know who buys this stuff.

[mahina]

26. Over the top but not out of reason.

No comparison to Uday tRumpf in my view.

[LiberalElite]

29. Well, it's true she didn't go so far as a

kind of Sistine Chapel ceiling like he did. For that matter, his sofas don't fit with the rest of the theme - they look like they came from hotel surplus (or maybe one of T's own).

[Octafish]

25. What a revolting dump...

The Trump Dump looks as if were inspired by Eyes Wide Shut.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

27. Reminds me of a comment someone made about the tarted-up faux-baroque digs

of Rush Limbaugh: "Looks like Versailles if it had been redecorated by Saddam Hussein's pimp."

[hifiguy]

41. . . .

[tblue37]

30. "Gaudy" and "Tacky" are the words that immediately come to mind. nt

[procon]

32. It looks like a high priced bordello.

Note to self: change fantasy reading list.

[Manifestor_of_Light]

33. Obviously insecure New Money.

New Money has to show off and be flashy in cars, decorating, clothing, jewelry, and such.

Old Money doesn't give a damn. Old Money is understated and tasteful. Maybe not very hip, but proper. Old Money inherits grandmother's pearls and mom's cashmere coat.

My aesthetic opinion as a non-flashy person:
The painted ceiling is nice but the rest of it is ghastly.

[Half-Century Man]

34. It's so Glittery!!!

It's like the love child of King Midas and Tinkerbell exploded.

[spanone]

35. king trump. i'm sure that sounds good to him.x

never seen a creature so full of its self.

[Stinky The Clown]

36. Nothing says "tacky" quite like The Gold Collection from J.C. Penny's

[GoCubsGo]

37. No throne?

Ick. It reminds me of Limbaugh's old 5th Ave. condo: http://crooksandliars.com/susie-madrak/everyday-guy-rush-limbaugh-decries-re

[kairos12]

38. A view of what the Oval Office could be.

[markpkessinger]

39. He (or his decorator) should be shot for mixing . . .

. . . a contemporary sectional sofa with French neo-classical chairs!

[AnnieBW]

40. Reminds me of Baelor's Keep from GoT
