Chinese-made gilt furniture and everything of that sort. Trump likes living like he imagines royalty lives. The White House won't be nearly nice enough for him. He'll be moving some of that Chinese-made fake antique furniture in, no doubt.

Not the gaudy decor (although that should be illegal too!).

Isn't it illegal to turn a blind trust over to family or employees? Doesn't that defeat the whole purpose? I don't know why I'm surprised, the Deplorable Cabal has never followed any other rules, why should they follow this one? SMH

With the caveat that most of their assets are ephemeral, based on branding rather than hard assets.

went into the voting booths with.

They trusted a con man - blindly and will soon regret that they did.

I happen to believe that 'buyers remorse' will set in with these Trump supporters - sooner rather than later.
