Good God in Butter what is going on with the mantle and tables in the Oval Office? Tacky ass shit. [View all]

Are those golf trophies and what are those things mounted above the fireplace? They
look like $5 for the both of them @ a yard sale crap. And the gold leaf on tables by the
fireplace is tacky as shit. You can’t buy style or class.

Never mind that we are now stuck with an outdated airplane that Qatar has been trying to
get rid of for years that will cost America millions of dollars. I wonder how much the Qatar
government or some Oligarch paid Trump to take it off their hands?
