It's gothic.

10. Doesn't fit well over the Vest.
They must be making him wear a tactical vest instead of the lightweight one now....

12. I think your right, It looks like his shoulders are too high,
like the straps are very thick.

4. That's a statue of a horse and rider
Lit from behind by the WH design staff. It's absolutely disgusting that they are wasting resources on dressing the set for this Presidentialnolapalooza. We are lucky they did not include fireworks.

15. WTF is with the Skiles Test effect in the background?
If you grew up in Indinapolis in the 50's and 60's you know what I'm talking about.

For the rest:

Skiles Test Mansion in the Geist Reservoir area "House of Blue Lights" (torn down in 1970s)
Legends: Wife was embalmed and displayed in a glass coffin in the living room, decorated with blue lights (her favorite). Skiles Test thought blue lights attracted spirits of the dead. There was a two-mile tunnel found beneath the basement filled with rations. He had a pet cemetery.

"The mansion was on a sprawling, hilly parcel of land, that in fall was draped in browns, golds and oranges, perfect for Halloween. The building itself was old and several stories tall. It had a strange pool with an elevator that led to the diving board."

The local "Test of Bravery" was to tresspass onto the estate and sneak up to the house close enough to see his wife in her coffin. He DID used to have Blue lights everywhere. Story was that he was amuswed by his "Cult hero" status and wasn't about to disappoint anyone. He died a recluse. When they cleaned out the estate, they found stuff like cases of ketchup that Van Camp company historians dated to the late 30's.

Fuckin' spooky, just like Il Douche's "stage set"...
