As always, the President remains laser focused on the important things…

    I’m sure there are others here who understand this better than me, but he is seriously mentally ill.

    Like, if he weren’t so actively damaging to real people, I’d feel bad for him.

    You managed to get yourself elected to the most powerful position in the world and still feel the need to try to name things after yourself.

    Even before he got elected first time he made it clear that he was insecure about his penis size on the Republican debate stage.

    Can you imagine that? Someone who weilds the nuclear football? Penis envy.

    It’ll be fun watching the next president, Democrat OR Republican, ignore the shit out of that proclamation and remodel it like every president has done.

    Trump’s opulent redesign of the Oval Office has drawn criticism, including from former president Barack Obama, who recently joked that “he’s got the White House looking like Saddam Hussein opened a Cheesecake Factory. Just gold everywhere.”

    Obama’s remark prompted a coordinated response from the White House, with treasury secretary Scott Bessent appearing to hit back by dining at a Cheesecake Factory.

    This is truly a sad time for comedians everywhere. They have no hope of competing with reality.

    That will all be torn down before the next guy takes office. While he’s giving his inaugural speech, they’re going rip that shit off the wall, patch, and repaint. The only think left as a hint it was every there will be the smell of fresh paint.

    What a pos, he makes all the gaudy changes he wants, and then tries to block others from doing their thing. This is what his cult is like too, selfish bullies, punch down on others and all the unhealthy, conditional ways they use.

      The governor we just booted, Greg abbott, sued for something around 9 million for the accident that put him in a wheelchair. Then the first chance he got, he changed the law so nobody could sue the way he did.

      This is their way.

      It would probably be smartest to just build a new building for the functions. I’d bet those assholes bugged it to shit to keep tabs on things once they are out.

    Every president has redecorated the Oval Office. Including trump. None of them have demanded that their decor choice not be touched after they leave. Except trump.

    But to be honest, I’m just surprised he’s talking about leaving.

      He won’t be leaving voluntarily. He’s not building that ballroom and golf course for the next guy. He was talking about after he’s dead. He’s starting to focus on his “Legacy,” which he thinks he can save, even though he is already tightly ensconced as the worst president of all time, by a long ways.

        It’s not even close. The next worse president you could point to is maybe Nixon? And while Nixon was not a good guy, Trump makes him look like an upstanding citizen.

          Jackson and Wilson were much worse than, and set the stage for, Nixon.

          Jackson caused the single deepest, (by percentages, not dollar value because there were a lot fewer dollars back then,) longest, and worst depression in US history, while also overseeing multiple genocides. (Trail of Tears, The Long Walk, etc.)

          Wilson on the other hand increased the power of the presidency to a tryannical degree, passed the Insurrection and Sedition Act of 1913, authored and pushed Southern Revisionism, segregated the Federal Government for the first time in history, and that’s just some of the stuff he did here at home, much less instituting Wilsonian Doctrine, which is what changed the US into “The Defenders of Democracy™.”

          That being said, I don’t think Trump was worse than Jackson or Wilson, but damn is he trying.

            Thanks for bringing up Wilson in particular since a lot of people know Jackson was a shitter. Seriously I so wish the Republicans had back Roosevelt or Roosevelt had backed off of running third party, the US would probably be in a better place today.

              I’ve said for years that if I had a time machine, I’d stop Hitler and the Nazis, as well as Stalin from gaining power, by going to the 1970’s and picking up as much of the hideously unhealthy fast food that Taft never got to eat, take it back to 1910 and 1911 and feed his fat ass till he has a heart attack and doesn’t screw up the 1912 election.

          It’s a public golf course in Southeast DC that he’s trying to commandeer. At least I think that’s what they’re referring to.

          If you don’t know DC, the Southeast quadrant is the blackest part of the city. He illegally cut down a ton of trees, and a judge ordered a stop to that, but of course they ignored that and kept going with the destruction.

          Interestingly, the course is public, so relatively affordable to play at and many of its patrons aren’t white so, can’t be having that!

      I remember a early internet web app that let you customize the oval office decor like a president, choosing from pictures, statues, desks, etc. that the white house has collected over the years from previous presidents and and gifts given to them, and it gave the items history and whatnot. It is such a common part of entering the office that there was a browser game in the 90’s about it.

      Since almost all of it is Executive Orders, it literally can all be made null and void with a single EO from the next president.

        I hope the next president makes an executive order to remove executive orders as a method of any real things being passed. Like, an executive order can be issued to recall a congress in recess, but not be issued for things that should require a vote, or start “super not acts of war” and/or eliminate it as an option. The clawing back and removal of a lot of BS presidential protections/immunity need to take place too. Checks and balances, with extra emphasis on the checks. No god damn kings.
