OT, but relating to Trump. I was just at the Louvre. I visiting the Louis XIV rooms, and I can definitely say that Trump, whose gauche living room was modeled on this style, is no Louis XIV!!!
On the other hand, I think he picked the wrong style to copy. The Napoleon rooms (which are magnificent) suit a titan of steaks and bottled waters better.
Here is my next dining room: Note: this photo is inaccurate because you can’t see the selfie-sticks which point into the room during hours of operation.
I hope the person who wrote the strawman joke is the same person who wrote the Chapter 11 joke. Because if there’s more than one of them, I’m going to run out of high fives!
Unfortunately, they have to keep the cameras and mics trained on him just in case he actually says something important . . . and he has, actually, such as he talks with his foreign advisors all the way and HE TELLS THEM WHAT TO DO. Running the U.S. is like running a golf club, just bigger. Little hints here and there of what’s coming should he get to run the country. Donito . . . Trumpolini . . . you got something there, wellstone.
Actually, he didn’t buy the air rights. He got the taxpayers of New York to buy them for him in the form of tax credits available to developers of moderate-income housing.
Masterful rhetorical analysis. Who would have thought the critical thinking we learned in college English might actually come in useful? Turns out it’s not only useful but indispensable…
Actually, he uses a lot of elements of Classical Roman architecture as well. You can get a virtual tour of his rooms in Trump Tower online. Apparently someone once told him he resembled classical Greek statuary (I think it was Apollo) and he took it to heart…
