Trump has hated Obama for 20 years. I am convinced Obama’s mockery of him at that correspondents’ dinner blew a fuse, and he’s never gotten over it. Obama Derangement Syndrome.
I hope the next President gets rid of all of that gold crap, reminds me of of the French royal family. Not sure what that style is but it’s revolting.
The style is late 20th century authoritarian. They all do it.
Remember when tyrants and warlords had class? Trump has less class than the literal historical Attila the Hun.
When this [toasting] ceremony was over the cup-bearers retired, and tables, large enough for three or four, or even more, to sit at, were placed next the table of Attila, so that each could take of the food on the dishes without leaving his seat. The attendant of Attila first entered with a dish full of meat, and behind him came the other attendants with bread and viands, which they laid on the tables. A luxurious meal, served on silver plate, had been made ready for us and the barbarian guests, but Attila ate nothing but meat on a wooden trencher. In everything else, too, he showed himself temperate; his cup was of wood, while to the guests were given goblets of gold and silver.
Attila gave his guests and followers the best he had. He showered his followers with luxury of every kind imaginable. Imagine walking into a grand banquet hall. You see dozens of barbarian warriors eating off gold and silver plates, drinking from golden cups, decked in fine silks and jewelry of all kinds. At the center of the room sits a lone man, dressed in simple furs, eating off a wooden plate, drinking out of an old wooden cup. That was Atilla.
It’s a classic power move. “I have access to all this luxury and need none of it”
Revolting … that’s one word I’d never use to describe the French nobility.
The group doing the revolts was of course the French Republicans.
Ba dum tisshhhhh
The Aristocrats?
That next president better bulldoze that ballroom and underground bunker too. Restore it to how it was, house and laws.
Just want point out there’s actually been a bunker under the east wing of the white house since at least WW2. The second floor of the old wing was added partly as cover for the expansion of the bunkers under it.
These are the bunkers Trump hid in while protestors were out front of the White House in 2020.
As Jon Stewart pointed out, it’s funny that they’re all upset about the Cheesecake Factory part of the joke and not the Saddam Hussein part.
That was a great showing by Stewart this week. Shame that the people who need to see it probably never will.
