I don't know if I've ever been more embarrassed for my country than I was by this.

Trump showing off his hat collection to Zelensky and Macron.

His hat collection.

Including hats with "Trump 2028" emblazoned on them.

Oh, and of course the obligatory "Fight, Fight, Fight!" picture in the background.

Dear fucking Lord, this is the gaudiest, crassest shit I think I've ever seen.

They called it the "Museum of Corruption" and it includes all the gaudy artifacts Yanukovych left behind.

Such as his pigeon collection, a life-sized puppet of himself, and a golden piece of bread.

I've actually visited it; Trump would fit right in, unironically.

AND THAT doesn't hold a candle to the 90,000 square foot BALLROOM addition planned for the White House,, so he can have continuously, thousands of the Republican Uber Wealthy Donors, Corporate Executives, and serious Trumphumpers, to massive dinners, all financed by the U.S. Taxpayers, and increasing his personal wealth exponentially....

Trump militarizing DC is to set up military law throughout the city to provide the ultimate security for all of them, much like a massive "gated community"

The Republican Senate and House Members, as well as the Republican U.S. Supreme Court members are so so stupid, they don't realize that the Legislative and Judicial Branches won't be needed in a tyranny, and the ALL of them will be thrown out, once his Fascist Tyranny is completed.
They all will be no longer needed, They will have outgrown their usefulness, and like Trump's entire life they will be thrown away, just as he now has done with his Voters and countless others in his CABAL..........

occupying the White House, the Secret Service said that he demanded a dead bolt that could only be operated from the inside on his bedroom.
they said no President had ever worried about that before, because the Secret Service said they would NEVER, under any normal circumstances, open that door..........

among everyone that I have known who had so much money...........When is enough, enough?

It is actually an obsession of the Uber wealthy especially.....down deep they wouldn't begin to even know what to do if they ever lost it, so they just doing anything to make more and more so that they are never faced with trying to survive without money.....

Their fortune was handed down to them, and they have never had to work, or even think about what they could do for work if they ever needed to....

It certainly isn't normal. They might be better off spending some of that money on some intensive therapy. Otherwise, they'll die miserable and probably alone, not to mention they really, really can't "take it with them".

In many ways, it is like being an alcoholic or drug addict. Their addiction never makes them happy. Meanwhile they are living in constant fear of losing it.

Of course, there are some wealthy people who don't hoard their money and believe in giving back. Sadly, they appear to be in the minority.

He uses gold leaf on everything and it is a process that takes skill and time. I'm sure we are on the hook for it. Poor guy is probably working his butt off around the clock, but the palace....er...White House is so large it will take a while.
My fear is that the Resolute Desk will be gilded soon.
