"one of my trademarks”

    Indeed, Sir. This is will definitely be one of your trademarks, but not in the way you’re speaking about it.

    SNAP? ACA? I don’t really care, do you? Check out this gold and marble!

    1. And sales there have plummeted and artists canceling.
      He is living in a narcissitic dream world.

      I’m sure his mostly rural, poorer base is very pleased with the renovations. Many will likely never get outside their state to see any of them, but I just know they were all itching to fund gaudy renovations of perfectly useable spaces!

    3. That “marble” looks like a sheet of 1/4” thick veneer glued onto the existing.

      I guarantee you this is not, in fact, the marble that was there. Because the first modern bathrooms in the White House weren’t really finished until 1850, a mere 11 years before Lincoln, and i seriously doubt luxury marble bathrooms were a thing yet.

    4. All funded by you the tax payers, services provided by Trump’s construction companies

    5. That bathroom looks like a mausoleum. All cold and dead inside, just like the guy who ordered the renovation.

    6. Edit “I hired some guys to renovate…” I got a pet peeve when people take credit for others work.

      Pretty far down the list from kiddie fucker and the rest of my grievances with this clown, but what can you do…

      Proves that money can not buy taste. Nor can it help you read a room. People are about to starve, my man. I feel like he would say something like “Quote a Great person in History, really good, never said anything bad about ME so I like her, and I say, Let Them Eat cake!”

    8. So people in our country are worried sick about what they are going to do without SNAP and all he can do is talk about the White House renovations he is doing? This is the country’s leader? OMG! Pathetic!

    9. Tomorrow we’ll learn that the Kennedy Center was demolished overnight to make way for a new trump branded hotel, with an Arby’s right in the lobby!

      I was very concerned about the Lincoln shitter in the White House. My concerns have been alleviated. Thank you, Mr President.

    11. Trump thinks Americans are Idiots, part 5,824,917….

      * The Lincoln Bathroom is only called the Lincoln bathroom because it is attached to the Lincoln Bedroom…. which in turn is only called that because that was the room in which Lincoln and his cabinet worked out of – long before the west wing was constructed at the white house…
      * “The Lincoln Bathroom” was constructed, for the first time, during the Truman presidency (during the 1948-52 renovation of the residence). It was not “renovated” then.
      * The large marble panels Trump attests here as being appropriate for Lincoln’s time simply were not used back then. While the use of marble as a material increased in Victorian times (1837-1901), particularly for washstands and floors in wealthy homes, the widespread use of **large marble wall panels in residential bathrooms was not a traditional practice during the 1860s**. The modern concept of covering entire walls with large marble panels for a seamless, luxurious look is a contemporary design trend. 
      * One of the few examples of large marble panels in a bathroom interior from around the time of Lincoln, would be [Dr. Emlen Physick’s private bathroom from 1879](https://www.capemaymag.com/arts-and-entertainment/victorian-vignette/the-evolution-of-the-bathroom-during-victorian-times/#:~:text=In%20contrast%20is%20Dr.,bathroom%2C%20and%20his%20mother%20Mrs)… a bit after Lincoln… and as one can see, looks nothing like what Trump is pretending is a “historically accurate” use of marble appropriate in Lincoln’s time.

      If you want to renovate the bathroom then renovate the bathroom. But don’t pretend you are a Historic Preservationist when you literally don’t give a shit about history. And don’t pretend to be on the cutting edge of design when your “style” preferences are regularly ripped as gaudy and vile by those who actually specialize in the era/style you pretend to most appreciate.

    12. This is what he chooses to tweet while ordinary Americans are struggling to feed their families.

    13. He’s so far gone at this point that this is what they’re giving him to do while Stephen Miller et al continue to plan & execute the country’s rapid descent into chaos and fascism. I can easily picture him just sitting there in his Depends with a phone and shiny building blocks, babbling “MAGA!!”

    14. I honestly do not believe a person exists on this planet with crappier taste than the child rapist Donald J Trump.

    15. Ahhh yes I’m sure Lincoln absolutely would have had a gold inlaid marble bathroom in the middle of the civil war. I bet that was weighing heavily on his mind.

      Fucking traitor piece of scum

      Good job Americans… your president the day before millions of American families lose SNAP and won’t be able to feed their families. Priorities I guess.

    17. Governments shut down—seems like a good time to post about millions spent on marble to renovate a bathroom.

    18. That marble looks so tacky. I like the mint green from the before picture, it looked calm and relaxing.

    19. “…None of the people doing this wonderful construction are ever going to be paid, which is another one of my trademarks.”
