this man has no taste or style. why does it have the same color as his hair/face?

My god is this real. This can't be real

Native New Yorker here.

I remember the first time I walked into Trump Tower.

I thought it looked like a giant, golden toilet.

Ian Hislop once described Trump’s taste in interiors as being somewhere between early Saddam Hussein and late Colonel Gaddafi. I can see that.

There used to be jokes about the 'Edifice Complex' that drove otherwise sane people to build bigger and bigger and ever more elaborate structures to show they world that they'd arrived.

I suspect it would be very impressive if it were actually gold and not rattle-can spray-paint "gold" from Big Lots.

This is a good read about how Trump managed to make himself hated by the Manhattan elites he was so desperate to impress.

the tl, dr is that he had promised to preserve a famous Fifth Avenue building's façade. Not only did he demolish it, he lied about the promise he'd publicly made.

It's a crust of dried urine.

You're confusing Trump and R. Kelly. Understandable mix up

[–] NoForwadSlashS@piefed.social 3 points 2 days ago

It's hard to tell the difference when they both enjoy the piss of minors

[–] panda_abyss@lemmy.ca 51 points 2 days ago

This is so trashy.

It looks like the decor at your high school acquaintances wedding, and both the bride and groom have been cheating on each other the whole engagement.

[–] zod000@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 1 day ago

This is so surreal and dumb. A+ post text though

[–] tmyakal@infosec.pub 3 points 1 day ago

Can we talk about the real reason they did this? They need to label every room in the place so Trump can pretend he's not lost. He's completely deranged and clearly sunsetting. This is also why he stays at Mar a Lago instead so often: the familiarity. He's easier to calm down when he can figure out where he is.

Now I’m craving Thai food

[–] NoForwadSlashS@piefed.social 8 points 2 days ago

Don't go to The Rose Garden, I heard it's just McChickens with some gold spray paint on.

[–] prole@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 1 day ago

So goddamn good

[–] ivanafterall@lemmy.world 3 points 2 days ago

I'm never not craving it. Might be the tastiest of all cuisines. It's soooooo goooood.

[–] SatansMaggotyCumFart@piefed.world 8 points 2 days ago (1 children)

You guys just don't understand what true class is.

[–] pupbiru@aussie.zone 13 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago) (2 children)

class is gold plated plastic

… well, brass plated

… well, a spray of paint

… wellllll add some paint thinner, use half as much, and make the plastic yellow

NOBODY CAN TELL THE DIFFERENCE NOBODY AND IF THEY SAY THEY CAN THEYRE GROOMERS

[–] Damage@feddit.it 4 points 2 days ago (1 children)

class is gold plated ~~plastic~~ styrofoam

[–] Ceruleum@lemmy.wtf 1 points 2 days ago (1 children)

A plastic bag can do the same job!

[–] ivanafterall@lemmy.world 2 points 2 days ago

I bet it's all made of instant ramen.

[–] unemployedclaquer@sopuli.xyz 4 points 2 days ago

My local Thai place looks nothing like this. It's just a clean, boring restaurant that can knock out a curry

[–] HailSeitan@lemmy.world 5 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Can we try insulting the orange man without insulting Thai restaurants in the process? Dig deeper, please.

[–] ivanafterall@lemmy.world 4 points 2 days ago

Fair enough, I'm sorry to any Thai people who may have caught a stray from this meme. But also 🙄.

[–] Sanguine@lemmy.dbzer0.com 5 points 2 days ago

As if trump or any of his goons would ever be so brave to try something so, ahem, ethnic.

[–] JasonDJ@lemmy.zip 4 points 2 days ago

Disney did it better.
