Um, the roundels at the top are too big, and overhang the panel they’re stuck to…

I know his other crimes are much worse but this tasteless vandalism of the White House by Donald Trump is obscene.

Before and after photo comparison of how Trump has gilded every single edge of the historic plaster moulding of the walls, doors and ceiling in this White House room (Oval Office?) and added Temu shiny tat additional features.

It's all moulded plastic, stuck on with blu-tac. They've got weeks of peeling that lot off when he goes.

Meanwhile, outside in the grounds of the White House, Trump has ripped up the historic and charming Rose Garden planted by Jacqueline Kennedy and turned it into a pool-free Mar-a-Lago spa scene. www.realtor.com/news/trends/...

Photo of the paved over Rose Garden which is covered with tables and chairs with white and yellow shade of umbrellas which are folded down and look very phallic text: President Donald Trump's redesign of the White House Rose Garden has prompted comparisons to his Mar-a-Lago resort in Florida.

Probably got sick of the memes.

btw the Swedish Ivy that used to be on the mantelpiece was a 1961 gift to JFK from Irish ambassador Thomas Kiernan. Ever since it has been a consistent backdrop to some of the most famous White House meetings - until Trump replaced it with his golden golf trophies. Where did it go? @motherjones.com
