What sort of a weak, insecure man orders custom made, gilded and gold upholstered chairs with an gigantic fleur-de-lis, the symbol of French royalty, embroidered on the back to remind visitors of his status?

Look closely, everyone in the photo must have been ordered to put on paper shoe covers so they wouldn't smudge Donald's expensive marble floors.

Added:

Note that in several places the gold cord trim used on the chair is coming loose and sagging. Cheap! He probably paid a small fortune for that chair, but it gives me some vicarious glee to know that some little upholstery shop conned Don the Con!
