I like gold myself, but am smart enough to know I have to elevate it, and not vice versa.

Not surprised that Trump has bad taste. A bit surprised about Clinton.

Almost everyone else got gold or a gold-hued metal. I was a practical person who didn't want to spend hundreds of dollars on something that could be lost down the drain in a space of a blink, so I selected a stainless steel one for about $80. I swear my ring looked so much better than everyone else's real or cheap gold ones, even with the teeny diamonds.

I think gold looks good as an accent color, but when there's a lot of it, it comes off cheap.

It's garish.

I’m so disappointed. Yes, I know a swastika is too much to ask for when the photographers are present but come on!!!

Pence looks as if he’s gritting his teeth, and Kelly looks totally exasperated.

No doubt he finds such daydreams to be sexy.

It’s hard to imagine a real billionaire having an office in that state of disorder.
(Of course, Dolt45 isn’t actually a billionaire.)

what a dump

That's the Executive Office Building out the window.

I recognize the oval office in the original post.
But where was the cluttered one in post #6 by left-of-center taken?

The building outside the window looks like the old Plaza Hotel which is across Fifth Avenue from Trump Tower.

The desk Trump is sitting at is not the Resolute Desk in the Oval Office.

Lastly, compare that office with the infamous gif of Trump when they put a bald eagle on his desk. It's the same office.

I think that's Trump's office in New York.

I could not believe that he could trash it out that bad so quickly or that he would be allowed to. Also walls are wrong, everything is wrong for the Oval. Stacks of binders would not be allowed to pile up. Dump probable accumulated all those binders over decades. He is not a reader.

sorry for the confusion

There's a pair sitting right next to him but he's too vain to use them in a photo. Dumbass.

I would like to see a pic before the traitor stole the WH and compare them.

I'm sure he's disappointed that he wasn't allowed to make it look more like his white-trash-with-money apartments in NYC (Versailles as redecorated by Saddam Hussein's pimp), but at least he got the gold drapes he needs to make him feel like he's classy.

He would gussy up Versailles with more gold so it would show some class.

but they're all a bunch of ghouls

he doesn't belong there and i feel like it will never be the same when he's finally gone. I can't stand the thought of his family going onto the Oval Office or the thought of them living in and contaminating the White House, with the exception of Barron.

but those are Bill Clinton's drapes (or maybe someone's before him?) brought out of storage

It's Reagan's rug.

and the rug looks WAY better with those drapes than the current ones. Trust a Hollywood "star" (ahem) to have an eye for visuals.

but I don't think any amount of contrast color or trick lighting can make him look better.

Well, maybe a brown paper bag would.

They look kinda familiar, no?

I'm still not fond of the gold drapes, but they look better with a dark rug.

My main problem with Clinton's office is those couches.

but the blue rug helps

Dark colors are richer and look more expensive. You don't normally see what would be considered a well-furnished or "stylish" house with just plain white or beige walls. It's a myth that dark colors make a room look smaller - exactly the opposite: dark colors recede and make the room look larger and furniture look brighter and cleaner and more prominent. Darker colors also tend not get dingy like white.

My mom insisted she needed a new couch because the old one was dirty and dingy. I said, "Give me twenty dollars and an afternoon." I painted the wall behind the couch a deep tomato red ("no you can't paint the wall red it will look like blood and people will think we're vampires!" ) leaving a taped-off two-inch white border around the edges (so it would be easier to paint over when they vacated the apartment) and she LOVED it once she saw the full effect. The couch looked more attractive in front of it and I saved her $400 on a new one.

look cold and uninviting .

it could just be trump himself.

Just think about that.

didn't even want to give his son a pet. Jerk.

I’ve had it with this guy.

Damn, that's weird.

Yes I know it's supposed to be gold but really. At least he didn't make the carpets and wall paper that color.

Outside what is probably a Remington knock-off, I can't figure out what he has back there.

all the art in the white house is the property of the national gallery of art. (i think. but def a museum)

would hope this would be hard to pull off. but yeah, never had such a bunch of criminals in our house.

The books on the shelves had to have come from the decorator. Doesn't look like the Dr. Seuss collection.

is still a turd.

The pictures in the back. Jacket over the chair in Obama's office. HW has the dog. The atmosphere in Trumps picture looks like wax figures in a museum exhibit. Meant to be viewed and not used.

Maggot...not so much.....

and NINE grandchildren. No photos.

but it's blocked by his chair in that photo. It's of his father. None of the three wives. None of the five (at least) children. None of the grandchildren.

His father.

I'd see nothing but the President of the United States. His power is breathtaking.

He has no taste, no class and no brains.

Of all the things I dislike about Trump, this is probably the least significant.

Poor lil Donnie. He's so pathetic he has to borrow Clinton's curtains.

Sad.

Weak.

Trump only has two papers, probably graphs. Just too clean but then he really doesn't do any work except tweet and golf. Pence always has the most intense expressions looking at his boss.

That’s a not so subtle racist shoutout/dog whistle to his deplorable base.

he had in his old office? The side chairs look ok to me, but the drapes are too much. Why is the desk empty?

...an empty desk a sign?

Allegedly attributed to Einstein, but may be apocryphal.

his tower, or even better a cell, he does not belong in the people's house.

And he doesn't do any work at all. There is no paperwork on his desk at all.

I'm noticing that Reagan, Bush 1, Clinton and PBO are left handed. Ford was a lefty too but he's not pictured here. I believe there have only been 8 left handed presidents in all but 5 of them are from fairly recent history. Trivia, I know, and not related to the gold drapes but interesting all the same.

Can't wait for the next president to rip that shit DOWN
