that the White House takes on the personality of the sitting President. Trump's personality is pure trash, thus the White House reflects it. I feel sorry for our most esteemed place of public housing. The squatter occupying it feels no sense of history, and no pride in the events that beautiful old house has contained within it's hallowed walls.

He'd rather it be more like Trump Tower I suppose. I building in such disrepair tenants are always complaining. He's the first "president" I can recall ever having a problem living there. When you're used to cheap, tacky, Rococo ornamentation in your "mansions," a house with a real sense of history and class escapes the tastes of pure white trash.

I've never lived with a staff but I imagine they have ways to get back at employers who treat them badly as I am sure the Trumps probably do. Along the same idea as "Don't piss off the cook unless you want them to spit in your food."

Wed Aug 2, 2017, 02:12 AM

She and her parents realized that staff was human, and they treated them accordingly.

Making friends with the staff, the janitors and the secretaries is a good practice for bosses. Establishments cannot run without those people. And if they don't like you and sabotage you, nothing will get done!

45 has a dysfunctional White House as it is. If he and his family are treating staff like dirt, I have a hunch they are sabotaging him.

If the place is a dump, it is because 45 has earned a dump to live in.

No kidding! It's the tackiest thing I've ever seen. Everything in gold. Garish as hell. Tasteless and gaudy. He seems to have an obsession with gold.

We've come a LOOOOOOOOONNNNNNNG way since the Kennedys, that's for sure. They were elegant, understated, tasteful as can be, class personified. When you compare Chelsea Clinton to the piratess Ivanka Trump, her tacky knock-off "designs" that basically steal ideas from haute couture, change one little thing, and charge somewhat less than the genuine item so you can pretend you're fabulous for less - there's really NO comparison. It's class versus crass.

Donald Trump has spent about $133,000 of tax money on furniture in the White House between January and May, according to a report by the Hill.

One of the most expensive purchases on Trump’s list was a $13,000 custom conference table made by Kittinger Company. The report also said that, former President Richard Nixon too, had a table made by the same company but had paid for it himself. All the purchases made by Trump were either office furniture or floor coverings.

And this is just for furniture and rugs. And Melania's decorator hasn't attacked the rest of the interior yet.

I can't get over that, since it was considered the ruin of a good steak, even in the middle-class environment in which I was raised. Medium-well was accepted; well-done might bring on good natured kidding among friends. Ketchup? Never. Why not order a good burger?

He is still grieving for the yacht he lost in one of his bankruptcies.

The ceiling in the master stateroom is something endangered--tortoise shell. The bed is roughly the size of North Dakota, and the master bedroom comes with its own barber chair. Also in the master bathroom is a secret passageway concealed in the linen closet and enough onyx to sink most normal vessels.
