Having been an educator of medical students and a research scientist my home has a lot of books. I have always been ready to learn something every day. Upon looking at this image I don’t see even magazines or a newspaper in trump’s quarters. Liberace’s table at least has a couple of books on it. That room does not look like a home but rather just stuff a guy with way too much money bought to sooth his friendless ego. Liberace could carry off the excess, trump…no so much

The election of Donald Trump has elicited intense responses from all corners of American life, and the NBA has been no exception.
At least three NBA teams have decided to back up those concerns by boycotting some of the most visible Trump-branded properties in the country. As reported by Zach Lowe and Marc Stein of ESPN.com, the Milwaukee Bucks, Dallas Mavericks, and Memphis Grizzlies have stopped staying at Trump-affiliated hotels during road trips to Chicago and New York for political reasons.

Those are in Uday and Qusay’s joints and we will see them, never fear. We’ll probably get to tour all of the splendor because I know for a fact that it warms the hearts of most autocrats to let the hoi polloi into their estates once in awhile so we can all see how our overlords live and be in awe.

I know several very good, professional interior designers. If any of their clients sketched out a main living area looking like Trump’s NYC penthouse and said “Make my place look like that” there would be a serious discussion about the effect it would have on the property’s value at a future sale.

Trump hasn’t read a book cover to cover since he was in his teens, if then. I bet he’d fidget and bolt the chair trying to get through the back of a Cheerios box.

Is this a return to “Lifestyles of the Rich And Famous?” Ah, but the voters got their revenge on the “elites,” didn’t they?

In our family reading is important. I began my grandsons journey into books as soon as he could turn pages without ripping them (less than 1 year old). And every visit since he wants to sit with grandpa and a book. Any book will do. He likes to read the fine print in the rules book for a board game for example. And don’t cheat. At age 2+ a couple months he took to arranging numbers glued to magnets on our fridge door and then sounding out the name of the number. He very soon, in an hour, was sounding out numbers up to 6 figures (with just minor help from me). I have no doubt he will continue to be inquisitive. At 7years old he is now an accomplished reader and writes in cursive pretty well,
I’m amazed that trump graduated from college. It’s my opinion that his daddy finagled that with a contribution somewhere. trump likes to brag that he graduated from the Wharton School of Business. But I think it’s a bought BA from U Penn. That’s just a supposition since I have no detail on it.

Yeah, they elevated an elite guy to elite status.
Oh the irony

That’s a lock. The man we see today is most assuredly the same man he was at age 20 in many basic aspects. He does not have the ability to concentrate a sufficient duration of time on one subject to successfully navigate four years of university. Didn’t happen. His degree was bought, the same as any online degree paper mill sells them. Researchers are hard pressed to even find peers in his graduating class that have any recollection of him, most or all unable to cite even one interaction of any kind. It’s as if he wasn’t even there.

Trump looks at these comparative pictures and says, “I win. I have way more gold. My WALLS are gold! I’m so much better than that other guy who is, I don’t know him, I never met him, but I know that I’m way better than him. I can tell you, I get way more women than he ever did – I’ll bet he didn’t even know how to grab 'em. And I’ve got more gold and more mirrors. I WIN!”

My words from before the election:
Looks like a fas-phocomelic-child-of-baroque-and-rococo-design exploded everywhere; drenching everything in gold, pink marble, and plenty of shiny trinkets & baubles of no function other than to take a long time for the maid to keep free of dust.

Maybe not so unfair. It kind of shows off the long fingers of the pianist.

There’s no blood on that knife. Did the tour guide shoot the elephant for him too?
Donnie would say, “Oh, yes I did. I won.”

They don’t actually “let us in” – they just let us look at pictures of them. I recall Scrooge McDuck rolling around on this mountain of money in some big room but I don’t remember him letting others come in and roll around with him. Maybe he did, the last time I read one of those comics was more than 60 years ago, but all I remember is him wallowing in his money and fighting to keep anyone else from getting any.
Well there are people around this area who have estates who open them up when, say, the 20,000 tulips are blooming and we can all troop in like good little citizens and admire their wealth.

Are they going to show Ivanka’s childhood bedroom? I heard that Chiselin’ Trump has maintained it as a shrine for his own private use.

Two’s company they say. So private for how many people?
