They're laughing. But I can't help wondering how much more damage he'll do to the White House.

Though that, of course, is trivial compared to the incalculable damage he's likely to do to this country, and the world...

Still...

1. The tackiness... lawd.

15. As my husband said "The dream of a prostitute with money"

Or as someone else said "The decor is how poor people think rich people live."

[JHan]

17. "How poor people think rich people live" .. yes! Absolutely.

very transparent. I suppose we have to file it under "despot-dictator chic"

2. Did he never hear the story of King Midas?

3. It will look like a faux-Baroque bordello

like his NY apartment; Versailles redecorated by Saddam Hussein's pimp, and now known as the White-trash House. More proof that money can't buy class.

6. Going to say it looks like

a four bit fancy house. Wow.

[TrekLuver]

4. Thank you...I certainly made a few comments or ten.

11. Trumpmember

"I LOVE GOLD"

12. You can have golden shower curtains too

[Raine]

7. like my mother always said "his taste is all in his mouth" never would or could

expect anything classy coming from him.

8. Now he'll have his golden shower curtains

right over him when he tweets.... err.... signs E.O.s

9. The First Whorehouse. So much for the White House.

10. We know he like to be showered in gold.

13. Gold drapes are pretty standard picks for the oval office.

The installation of Trump is what makes the office gawdy.

14. Thanks for the link -- and the "new" gold drapes may actually be Clinton's.

Didn't recognize them, since they look so different with the blue rug Clinton used, and the different furniture.

18. And I just discovered that the "new" rug for the Trump Oval Office came from GWB:

And the second pic there shows that GWB used both the same rug and the drapes that Trump is now using.

16. It's the shade of gold that's so jarring. Should be softer shade, more mellow.
