Can one ever have TOO much marble? Trump's Lincoln Bathroom Remodel (yes, really):

Yes, it probably needed updating (even though I think the pic Trump released for the 'before" may be misleading).

But we didn't install it. The guys who owned the house before us loved chandeliers. I have 4 big crystal and 1 big non crystal chandeliers in the house:

1. Casita over king bed
2. Dining Room - not crystal
3. Over the island in kitchen
4. Living room
5. Master bathroom over stand alone tub

I love them all!

Typical Trumpian excess, belongs at Mierda-Lardo. Not at all in keeping with the style of the building.

When I hear "Lincoln Bathroom," I think of something old-fashioned, where I can imagine Abe sitting on the toilet wearing his stove pipe hat. I guess they had toilets then. Maybe he sat on a chamber pot in his bathroom. Anyway, the style was already suitable. He's going to gut the entire White House and make it look like Saddam Hussein lives there.

there is no shade or curtain on the window. It's as if Jeffrey Epstein designed it.

I feel dizzy just looking at that. Plus, as someone who broke my arm in a slip and fall in a newly renovated bathroom, I would not feel safe in that room. I do love that marble sink, though.

I much prefer old cool stuff. My home is indicative of that.

Stumpy needs it. Not wants it, needs it. He needs his visual and ostentatious attaboys.

Based on various stories, including the ones from Buckingham Palace, he's a filthy fucking slob. Noel Casler from "The Apprentice" has some stories about how disgusting he is, as well. No doubt his horrific diet induces chronic explosive diarrhea, too. This latest eyesore is bad, but at least it makes life a tad easier for the housekeepers, who have to clean up after that fucking sack of shit. Put on the HazMat suits, and go in and hose 'er down. Can't really do that with plaster walls.

A marble bathroom with chandelier and gold fixtures to make him feel right at home. Weren't all outhouses and early water closets decorated in a similar manner?

Really??

This bathroom is so overdone it's downright ugly. Fits the designer though--cold, gaudy, tasteless.

This is what he's been obsessed with along with a Great Gatsby costume party while blowing up fishing boats and getting ready to starve American kids.

Never forget, never forgive.

if he falls he's going to break something. I suspect his bones are softer than marble.
