It's been said that he's a poor person's idea of what a rich person looks like. But the faux-Baroque whorehouse look is probably Trump's idea of what a king's palace looks like, although Louis XIV was never that tacky. The so-called old money people Trump has always sought to impress would never decorate that way; they prefer understated but high-quality stuff. But for some reason Trump thinks a place that looks like Versailles as redecorated by Saddam Hussein's pimp is actually classy, again proving that money can't buy taste or class.

Won't be long until the interior of the WH looks like the Kremlin.

but if someone were to suggest that his taste in decor is somewhat...effeminate, the reaction would be incendiary
