Looks like it was designed by a dictator from the middle east
Hey, relax guy
Well you’re half right.
Wouldn’t even be surprised if someone from MBS’s team is involved
MBS
Mohammed Ben Sulayem? President of the International Automobile Federation (FIA) who is trying to be a corrupt dictator of Formula 1 racing?

(obligatory /s)
Maybe their new friend, Al Qaida Jolani the headchopper’s influence?
Well they invariably are the US best friends.
Bad thing happens in the West
Liberals: “What are we, a bunch of Asians?!?!”
Tankies just can’t stop simping for dictators with pathetic disingenous strawmen.
Apparently criticising Western Exceptionalism = “simping for dictators”
I’m increasingly convinced that liberals don’t even think words mean anything anymore beyond signalling what team you’re on.
When you read the description “dictator from the middle east” and you believe that it is an attack on Asians in general, you do not understand that not everybody from the Middle East is Asian or a dictator.
What exactly do you think their point was?
Just look below. Pretty clearly to call the other person a racist.
The irony obviously being that this is about the interior design of the White House and calling it “designed by a dictator from the middle east” is about as bad of an insult as “designed by a king from europe”. It only really works as a racist statement, when you believe in Western Exceptionalism.

This Is some laughable mental gymnastics! I assure you that I don’t believe in Western exceptionalism.
The reason looking at Trump’s ugly, ego-stroking, interior design choices and saying they “look like a middle eastern dictator designed it” is racist, is because it Orientalizes the middle east, not as a place with diverse peoples, politics, and yes, interior design senses.
But instead papers over that diversity and paints Trump’s gaudy displays as unbecoming of a western leader, more akin to that of an imagined barbaric Oriental Despotism
Saying Trump’s design sense is “Like a middle eastern dictator” is very different from saying it’s “like a European king”. The former sits within a of a long history of Oriental racism perpetuated by Europeans, against people’s the Global South.
Please read Orientalism by Edward Said, I’m begging you people!
Go back to your reddit
A white man redecorated the Whitehouse and the person I responded to went “This Looks like a brown guy redecorated!” I don’t think I’m the one who needs to go back to reddit
and the person I responded to went “This Looks like a brown guy redecorated!"
Yeah? Is that what they said?
Looks like it was designed by a dictator from the middle east
Yes.
I think you’re the racist one here.
Wanna explain that one, Sherlock?
Tacky as hell. This administration has all the class and style of a Spirit Halloween store.
Spirit Halloween knows exactly what it is though. It’s not posing or putting on a front. It may not be Sperrys with flat front olive chinos, but it’s certainly not pretending to be anything but itself.
I could hear John Oliver while reading that.
How ya gonna do Spirit Halloween dirty like that
Hey, my Italian grandma liked this kinda shit! She… she also managed a Spirit Halloween store…
Americans have no taste
If you ever get another Dem president, which is doubtful, it’s going to take a minute to hose out the whore flair from the White House.
We need a working class president not some corrupt neoliberal democrat with no teeth
You will never get a working class president if change doesn’t happen locally first. Young people don’t vote in local elections and young people don’t put themselves on the ballot of local elections. It’s why actual change at the top will never happen. You can’t expect the average Joe, who isn’t very politically engaged, to vote for a socialist president if they have never experienced what a socialist politician can do for them. That experience needs to happen at the local level. The US needs more Mamdani’s across the entire country and not just in New York.
The reason why Dump is president and co-opted the GOP is because the Tea Party started winning local elections first and pushing out Republican incumbent. They created the momentum so a moron like Drumpf could win a presidential primary.
And they didn’t just do it in political elections even non political elections like school board elections etc. were captured by the Tea Party.
The left needs to copy the Tea Party playbook.
I agree with all your points but I would like to point out that the tea party was billionaire backed not grass roots
buddy you need more than 2 fucking parties to begin with
There are over 100 registered parties in the US. For all the good they do.
Electing a working class president won’t fix this. The system needs to be abolished.
We need to learn to build our own, parallel system of people’s bottom-up power.
The corporate dems fight those harder than any republican.
Good luck with that.
It’ll take 4 years to get the stink out of the WH.
Just in time for donald Jr to start from where daddy left it.
Class vs cheep ass
“Daddy always said, you can’t by class, but you can watch people try”
I guess you meant to say ‘buy’
This seems to be a Daddy issue, clearly quoted verbatim 😏
Facts.
Typo and you meant cheap?
Oops!
No, that’s fake news. He didn’t make a typo, that’s just alternative spelling.
This really is the American liberal in a nut shell: “at least our monstrous war criminal had class!”
Did… You not see the same picture we did?
Of course I did, I just don’t care. The problem with Trump isn’t that he’s garish, and Biden wasn’t not a monster just because he was not garish
They why say anything? Don’t support child rapists.
I said something because I’m sick of liberals acting like being crass is worse than being child raping war criminal
Lol
Keir Stürmer and Genocide Joe
classI mean fuck trump but you dont have to hand it to the pair genocidaire
Pretty sure the commenter was talking about the interior design
I read it as comparing bidens way of decorating vs trumps way, calling Biden classy. Most of the comments seem to dunk on Trump.
I doubt Biden had anything to do with the decorations, the fireplace and decoration were probably like that before he took office.
It does look like something was stolen from the fireplace in the biden picture, which is explained by trump’s loss
That’s a fair reading
They don’t care about genocide or anything that’s outside their navelstaring country.
Yesterday the libs complained about an anti-genocide post here bcs they used X.
The blue MAGA battle against red MAGA is way more important to them.
All they want is to go back to their bubble of ‘democracy’ where they keep the fascism for their foreign policy.
Lets make sure to note that the europeans aren’t any better. Plenty fedditors here with a superiority complex.
Thanks for your whataboutism.
If by ‘Europeans’ you mean our sell out US vasal governments and EU leaders then sure, they aren’t any better.
But that’s not the people.
Unlike the supporters of the fascist-lite wing of their uniparty perfectly willing to ignore this inconvenient genocide as long as they win.
So besides those 2 huge factions that form the bulk of your population there’s not much left is there?
So we aren’t as scummy as you all out of pure self-interest.
You can mislabel that as a superiority complex if that helps you sleep.Oh please, I am eur*pean and live in eur*pe. The people here are exactly like this. Our sell out US vassal goverments get cheered on loudly for throwing more and more public money into the US MIC to arm nazis in Ukraine, for cracking down on “antisemitism” (by silencing “antisemitic” jews e.g.). Thanks for being such a nice example of what I’m talking about.
We are owned by the US true, but it’s not like there is resistance against it. And we will have to answer for our crimes when our time comes.
Removed by mod
I dont know which part of Europe you’re in but there isn’t really any noticeable resistance to our support of the Occupation Regime Of West PAlestine here in germ*ny. Freedom protests get like a dozen people and thats it. Granted Genocidesmany is the most whipped dog right after TERF island but I’ve not heard any better news from any other so-called country. Some resistance in Greece to orowpean tourists, Lefty Italian football fans doing cool chants but thats pretty much it. The Freedom protests in Seppoland were way bigger with sit-ins at unis and everything.
Europe isn’t a country. You’re going to have to be more specific.
navelstaring subcontinent then.
That’s not being more specific.
There’s 47 countries in Europe. Each with its own foreign policy.
Saying “the europeans aren’t any better” makes no sense.
That’s like saying “the South Americans aren’t any better”, “the Africans aren’t any better” or “the Asians aren’t any better”.
Who are you talking about?
Wow, you really destroyed their point with semantics 🙄
Europe is not of the size of South America, Africa or Asia. Neither in land mass nor in amount of people. Talking about euro “culture” is as specific as talking about seppo “culture”, if not more so. I’m sure you’d have no problem talking about Indian culture, and they are even bigger than europe, with more diverse cultures.
I was sure this was photoshopped and there was no way that was real…
It’s real. This is just unbelievable.
NYT did a whole article about it, here have a free one. 86 47! Epstein files!
Trump’s Oval Office Is a Gilded Rococo Nightmare. Help.
At least this money wasn’t wasted like the money spent on US aid and healthcare
Well, if you cure someone they can get sick again, this will be ugly for years!!
If the chairs are the same, someone spun the saturation dial way up
They have no pattern to the fabric in the before, but they do in the after. They have been reupholstered.
Is it a pattern or is it JPEG artifacts due to the saturation being increased
Look at the shadowed areas. There’s a pattern there.
Me too, I cannot believe it. How garish
New money energy.
I also didn’t notice it until my friend pointed it out to me a month ago. I was too busy being upset when Trump and Vance bullied Zelenskyj to notice their hip hop gangsta crib at the time.
Some people think gold shows they are rich when in reality just shows a lot of bad taste. Btw poor people can have the same fireplace using.dolar store spray lol
I hate to beat this very dead horse, but tacky is the thing that least jumps out at me here. I mean. This literally looks like Nazi decor. The eagles, the frowning busts, the ornateness, like…
You can’t buy taste.
Peh, copy cat
The difference is that this is in a historic imperial palace (Yildiz palace) with (refurbished) historic imperial chairs… They don’t just look like they were build for the padishah, they were build for the padishah (Abdul Hamid II).
Well that is another reason why he is a copy cat. Even Biden sat on the golden throne but haven’t seen Trump’s photo there. He wants his own golden plated furniture.
The man has absolutely no taste. His only thought is “must appear rich”.
He’s the walking example of “a poor mans idea of rich”
Insecurity screams; confidence whispers.
He’s the real life Goldmember, isn’t he?
Can you imagine his member being gilded? Golden mushroom!
🤮
That would imply he had a dick in the first place
The dark genius of this administration is people will connect better with an over-the-top Hollywood villain than a qualified, competent and measured professional who knows what he’s doing.
It’s not even a matter of agreeing with policy. Average voters are dumber than FUCK and always have been. But Trump worked in media and franchises like WWE/WWF and learned how people just want to see spectacle and don’t even give a shit about actual politics. An average idiot is going to be dazzled by gold and pageantry but the shit between their ears that pass for brains will make up stories to explain why they like seeing shiny things. “Well, I like his plans to do… the stuff, for the things… I guess. Yah, woke is bad!”
And this narrative just comes from the fact that they had their attention captured better from Mr Pisspants than any alteranative.
Jesus, that is so gaudy.
Only thing he’s missing now is the golden shower.
