The English learned, very early on, that there was an upper clas, and there was a lower class. They learned that the upper class should take care of the lower class. That is why they have the house of Lords and Commons so they can hear the grievances of their environment. The people around them, who do the work and make things go round. Americans have forgotten that, and been pushed into a capitalist machine, that takes all the value of labor from one class and given to the next. We get nothing.
I like how Nixon is sitting back, legs crossed, because he's confident in his.... whatever. Trump is sitting near the edge of his seat, hands between his knees, unable to keep even the slightest dignity. He just looks fuckin pathetic. Charles has the same posture, but the difference between criminal presidents is like night and day.
NO KINGS! Read William Dalrymple's Historical novel "The Last Mughal". British Royalty and aristocracy via British diplomacy, espionage have been leaching off, destroying stronger Empires for 500 years. Colonialism. Why would a US President, Congress celebrate, entertain a corrupt King, royals, from the very country we gained freedom from 250 years before? Of course, the Orange Man who would be king! https://bellacaledonia.org.uk/2026/02/20/triple-failure-protects-the-windsors/
Honestly I wouldn't be surprised if he bombed the wrong country because he forgot which one he created a war with...that, and I'll never understand his obsession with Greenland. Like, "Thanks for welcoming me into the country. How much is it?"
That room has the "aesthetic" equivalent of TV static. a chaotic eyesore that could induce a stroke just being in it. A pure reflection of the mind of its owner.
The thing that gets me is that they aren't all the same either. Like.. they are set up like they should be symmetrical but the second from the left isn't the same as the second from the right. And i'm like 70% sure its the same for the two just left/right of the center as well.
4 wine buckets, 2 cake stands, 2 talking points (IE, what the fuck are these), & an ice bucket in the centre. Oh, & a fuck load of that gold Xmas spray, to tart them up a bit, you know, all fancy like.
For the pictures on the wall: thats called "petersburger hanging" (many smaller pictures covering the whole wall - namend after the Hermitage Museum in St. Petersburg (russia, obviously). Well...they probably won't hang playboy pictures in russia...
Its a room full of photos of himself. He's a narcissist desperately surrounding himself with mirrors. Every surface covered. The fake trophies probably have inscriptions with his name real big. Real mental illness on display.
The trophies are from his golf courses, he plays first and that qualifies him: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hy2cjeZhS3w - if it's not in this video the author has said it elsewhere
Confession: I LOVE THIS. I mean, I think it’s hideously embarrassing and ridiculous… but he’s made it so easy for us to visually ID his oval forever.
They all get to redecorate the office itself (no objections here) but it would take me a second looking at a photo to figure out which other administration’s oval I was looking at.
Photos/videos of criminal activity are out there. And this “too specific to be AI but immediately identifiable to humans” decor could prove useful!
Jesus Christ, but now it looks like a French whore house... they just glued those spray painted appliqués anywhere they had enough room... it looks so shitty-tacky, like a dumb child stuck them on

My sole consolation is that it’s paid with taxpayer money. Because the people deserve it for electing that spherical bastard twice.

Put some more gold crap in the walls. Someone run down to home depot, we're low on gold spray paint.
Nothing says "successful pawn shop owner" quite like a shit ton of gawdy gold filigree all over the place
