As always, the President remains laser focused on the important things…
I’m sure they’ll give just as much respect to the preservation of your changes as you gave to the people’s property in the first place
Yeah it’s really funny how he thinks this will do anything. The Antiquities Act goes both ways. He himself de-listed national monuments to open them up for logging and oil exploitation.
But let’s say the next president doesn’t de-list, cultural landscapes consultants will almost certainly agree on restoring it to a more historic pre-Trump layout.
He loses this one no matter what
yes, your bugs are safe
Yeah, we will, as an example of what not to do.
Damnatio memoriae is a far better approach.
He has shown no respect for any other declared national monument (such as Bears Ears) so why should anyone respect his declaration? Fuck him. Rip the gaudy gold decor out as soon as he’s left, restore to the original design, and put back in a rose garden for good measure.
I’d say fix everything else he did first, meanwhile save the millions that would be spent renovating the WH. Also it would serve as a reminder of the whole debacle.
how many bugs you think are in that shit? nothing he touched can stay.
They were putin bugs all over the place!
Save those millions? The next President has to live inside that house and preferably not be vomiting every single day because that just sounds inefficient. There is no possible scenario I can imagine where I’d move into that place with all that fucking fake gold in it. Keep in mind most other Presidents have been human beings with some semblance of taste and the accompanying gag reflex.
Sadly for him, he doesn’t own the White House and has no authority to make demands upon it. All of his trashy tacky gold painted Michael’s arts & craft trash will be removed from the walls within a month of him leaving office.
Hopefully during Inauguration Day.
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.
Honestly, at this point I’m pretty sure there hasn’t been a bigger loser in the history of our species.

Ice known that since I was 8 and saw him and his home on Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous. It was the gold plated toilet that did it.
I feel like ignoring edicts and proclamations Trump did should be automatic for the next administration.
The first thing the next administration should do is have Trump arrested so he can finally stand trial for all of his crimes, then tear out all of the awful things that he touched and put pieces of them into the cell next to his like people kept pieces of the Berlin Wall. Just a commemoration of the end of something terrible.
Sorry, SC says he’s immune while in office. I expect him to die the last day of his term.
Sooner is OK too.
Technically that would still be the last day of his term
Sooner is OK too.
Lol this sentence just randomly reminded me I’m disappointed in Oklahoma for not flipping like the rest of its friends.
Sure is! It’s just not my expectation.
If trump could remember, he would know to much to let go.
Not possible. This will be a precedence. But Republicans will not view it as precedence that someone is held accountable for criminal actions, rather than persecution of the political opponent is fine.
Put his cell in sight of the bonfire where we systematically burn everything he touched or had built in office.
no. no he had his trial. he s guilty. just shoot him in the gut a few times on the way in.
Full rollback. Everything he touched rescinded, removed and then locked down so that the next asshole can’t do what he has done.
Sorry, motherfucker. Hope you live long enough to watch all that bullshit you superglued to the walls ripped down.
😀
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.
That’s funny as fuck. Might have a secondary effect on fast food existing today.
We sell lettuce wraps. “What’s in it?” Lettuce.
This is how you also supercharge the FDA a couple years into its existence, they’d be equipped like the 1990s ATF.
I remember an idle conversation back in 2015 when I compared trump to Jackson, and the guy I was talking to was like “wasn’t Jackson the worst president ever?”
Wait what golf course? Don’t tell me he’s building a golf course on the White House property
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 don’t know how close it is to the white house, but i think that’s why he had all those cherry trees cut down.
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.
I wonder if he’s finally dying? He’s acting way too chill about losing the midterms that he either has a fucked up plan or he doesn’t expect to live past January
I mean, I want him spending eternity in jail, but him dying would be a close 2nd.
Proclamations carry no legal weight. All his proclamations and executive orders can be summarily ignored.
I’m voting for whomever says they’re going to erase him from history… which honestly, given his corruption, will happen w/o much effort on anyone’s part.
He won’t be erased from history, he’ll be taught as a warning to future generations. He’ll be worse than forgotten, he’ll be reviled… and used as a cautionary tale about the American peoples’ willingness to embrace grift and fascism.
I can still see a future dem president saying gosh darnnit my hands are really tied on this one.
What if president AOC gets sworn in…walks in, and goes, “you know, I kindof actually vibe with the Middle East despot thing. I’m keepin’ it,” 🤣
Someone should have the originals on hand for the next President so they can put it through the shredder at the same time they are scraping shit off the walls.
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.
It is crazy to me that every single right wing talking head latched into the Cheesecake Factory part of that statement.
Yeah instead of taking insult at the idea trump would be associated with someone that was pro literacy
The peak (so far) of the reality/comedy blur was the diaper wearing cult fans and the tampax on the ears. They know they’re stupid and proud of it.
at least a Cheesecake Factory has cheesecake.
“Opulent”? Maybe in Russia. Around here that’s just tasteless and gaudy
Scott Bessent got whooshed.
This sad excuse of a vaguely human-shaped shitweasel can shove my elephant cactus up his ass with no lube.
I’d pay to watch that.
So, he doesn’t want a future President to do EXACTLY WHAT HE DID TO THE EAST WING? God, he’s such a fucking hypocritical cunt!
…still doing to the east wing.
Diaper donnie went out to the site of the devastation right after the midterm meteor strike as his first public appearance to begin babbling about the ballroom.
Jokes on him, we dont follow any laws in this country.
How many bugs do you think he got paid to put in there?
Fucking the whole white house is going to need to be taken apart and put back together (what’s left of it…)
They should sell his plane to pay for it. We need to claw back with emoluments.
The Qatar royal family couldn’t sell the thing beforehand. They gave trump a white elephant to deal with. Even disposing of it properly would be expensive.
Put it in a museum as a reminder and warning of the excesses of corruption
“I’m going to be signing a document which will make them into a landmark for the ages,” he told reporters in the gold-covered Oval Office.
According to the president, the proclamation would ensure the West Wing rooms would not be “touched by anybody, destroyed, ripped down by stupid people, in order to build something in a slightly different shape”.
Whoever wrote that for him must have done it intentionally… that’s a classic “trump criticizes trump” right there
I cannot express how annoyed I am at the insane levels of irony this man emits from every fibre of his being.
It’s too much. I can’t tell what’s real or if I live in some insane fever dream.
Hypocrisy is a power move,
I can do this but you can’t
Not that I think everything he does is hypocritical on purpose…
It is not like Trump has actual policy positions. Second only to immigration, a main election promise of Trump was “no foreign adventures” - and then went into a war of choice with Iran. A lot of his platform is literally owning the libs - which is mainly done through deliberate hypocrisy.
I think it’s more not caring about being hypocritical that’s the power move
Yeah, he’s just too stupid to be consistent, except in being an asshole, which is hardwired in him.
