Children are starving and the president is focused on renovating white house bathrooms with gold fixtures. He is certainly following Nero’s footsteps.

    1. Holy shit how fucked are are that this is even news. I hate this so much.

    2. I hate when a stupid motherfucker is right because, outside the gold, the marble looks way fuckin better than that green.

    3. To claim that marble and gold is somehow more era appropriate for Lincoln is pretty standard Trump-alternate-reality delusion fueled by narcissism.

      Agreed on all counts aside from 2.

      The original had class and functionality, complete with datum lines and concealed lighting. It was aged, for sure, but the design comes together and looks comfortable.

      The new one is literally just slabs of maybe real marble but i doubt it. There’s no demarcation between floor and ceiling. It’s as if someone just used the paint bucket tool and clicked fill. The lighting is atrocious; if you’re in the bath you cop an eyeful of a glare bomb.

      I’d take the original any day. Would have probably just added sheer curtains to the windows.

      I completely agree on 2, I think the green looked like ass and the marble is a significant improvement. I don’t get his obsession with gold though, brushed nickel would’ve gone much better in there.

      Gold is tacky as fuck and that dude wouldn’t know good taste even if it was sold at the bottom of a ketchup bottle.

      I think the marble looks weird as fuck and would make the bathroom uncomfortable to be in, while the green tile is very pleasing and cozy, with nice accents

        Go figure, the fat fuck that wears a girdle and stilts and paints himself orange and has a vagina for a neck doesn’t have good taste…

        Maybe it’s not even up to him to decide. Oh well. He did. Now we have more ugly. He makes everything smell like farts.
