As always, the President remains laser focused on the important things…
It’ll be fun watching the next president, Democrat OR Republican, ignore the shit out of that proclamation and remodel it like every president has done.
Honestly, at this point I’m pretty sure there hasn’t been a bigger loser in the history of our species.

Ice known that since I was 8 and saw him and his home on Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous. It was the gold plated toilet that did it.
Trump’s opulent redesign of the Oval Office has drawn criticism, including from former president Barack Obama, who recently joked that “he’s got the White House looking like Saddam Hussein opened a Cheesecake Factory. Just gold everywhere.”
Obama’s remark prompted a coordinated response from the White House, with treasury secretary Scott Bessent appearing to hit back by dining at a Cheesecake Factory.
This is truly a sad time for comedians everywhere. They have no hope of competing with reality.
It is crazy to me that every single right wing talking head latched into the Cheesecake Factory part of that statement.
Yeah instead of taking insult at the idea trump would be associated with someone that was pro literacy
The peak (so far) of the reality/comedy blur was the diaper wearing cult fans and the tampax on the ears. They know they’re stupid and proud of it.
at least a Cheesecake Factory has cheesecake.
“Opulent”? Maybe in Russia. Around here that’s just tasteless and gaudy
So, he doesn’t want a future President to do EXACTLY WHAT HE DID TO THE EAST WING? God, he’s such a fucking hypocritical cunt!
Proclamations carry no legal weight. All his proclamations and executive orders can be summarily ignored.
the proclamation would ensure the West Wing rooms would not be “touched by anybody, destroyed, ripped down by stupid people”
Like the East Wing?
By this reading if you can argue if you’re not a stupid person ripping it down actually is permitted.
Every president has redecorated the Oval Office. Including trump. None of them have demanded that their decor choice not be touched after they leave. Except trump.
But to be honest, I’m just surprised he’s talking about leaving.
He won’t be leaving voluntarily. He’s not building that ballroom and golf course for the next guy. He was talking about after he’s dead. He’s starting to focus on his “Legacy,” which he thinks he can save, even though he is already tightly ensconced as the worst president of all time, by a long ways.
It’s not even close. The next worse president you could point to is maybe Nixon? And while Nixon was not a good guy, Trump makes him look like an upstanding citizen.
Jackson and Wilson were much worse than, and set the stage for, Nixon.
Jackson caused the single deepest, (by percentages, not dollar value because there were a lot fewer dollars back then,) longest, and worst depression in US history, while also overseeing multiple genocides. (Trail of Tears, The Long Walk, etc.)
Wilson on the other hand increased the power of the presidency to a tryannical degree, passed the Insurrection and Sedition Act of 1913, authored and pushed Southern Revisionism, segregated the Federal Government for the first time in history, and that’s just some of the stuff he did here at home, much less instituting Wilsonian Doctrine, which is what changed the US into “The Defenders of Democracy™.”
That being said, I don’t think Trump was worse than Jackson or Wilson, but damn is he trying.
Thanks for bringing up Wilson in particular since a lot of people know Jackson was a shitter. Seriously I so wish the Republicans had back Roosevelt or Roosevelt had backed off of running third party, the US would probably be in a better place today.
I’ve said for years that if I had a time machine, I’d stop Hitler and the Nazis, as well as Stalin from gaining power, by going to the 1970’s and picking up as much of the hideously unhealthy fast food that Taft never got to eat, take it back to 1910 and 1911 and feed his fat ass till he has a heart attack and doesn’t screw up the 1912 election.
That’s funny as fuck. Might have a secondary effect on fast food existing today.
We sell lettuce wraps. “What’s in it?” Lettuce.
This is how you also supercharge the FDA a couple years into its existence, they’d be equipped like the 1990s ATF.
I remember an idle conversation back in 2015 when I compared trump to Jackson, and the guy I was talking to was like “wasn’t Jackson the worst president ever?”
Wait what golf course? Don’t tell me he’s building a golf course on the White House property
It’s a public golf course in Southeast DC that he’s trying to commandeer. At least I think that’s what they’re referring to.
If you don’t know DC, the Southeast quadrant is the blackest part of the city. He illegally cut down a ton of trees, and a judge ordered a stop to that, but of course they ignored that and kept going with the destruction.
Interestingly, the course is public, so relatively affordable to play at and many of its patrons aren’t white so, can’t be having that!
I don’t know how close it is to the white house, but i think that’s why he had all those cherry trees cut down.
I remember a early internet web app that let you customize the oval office decor like a president, choosing from pictures, statues, desks, etc. that the white house has collected over the years from previous presidents and and gifts given to them, and it gave the items history and whatnot. It is such a common part of entering the office that there was a browser game in the 90’s about it.
I wonder if he’s finally dying? He’s acting way too chill about losing the midterms that he either has a fucked up plan or he doesn’t expect to live past January
I mean, I want him spending eternity in jail, but him dying would be a close 2nd.
That will all be torn down before the next guy takes office. While he’s giving his inaugural speech, they’re going rip that shit off the wall, patch, and repaint. The only think left as a hint it was every there will be the smell of fresh paint.

Oh man… You just made me imagine what the Oval Office smells like right now. I wonder if the Trump-funk will return when the smell of fresh paint fades away.
I hope the next president or whoever replaces Trump literally wipes their ass with his proclamation.
It would probably be smartest to just build a new building for the functions. I’d bet those assholes bugged it to shit to keep tabs on things once they are out.
Similar with all the systems DOGE got their hands on and the links between them.
Everything needs to be gutter and returned to the way it was. Including the Swedish Ivy and roses.
What a pos, he makes all the gaudy changes he wants, and then tries to block others from doing their thing. This is what his cult is like too, selfish bullies, punch down on others and all the unhealthy, conditional ways they use.
The governor we just booted, Greg abbott, sued for something around 9 million for the accident that put him in a wheelchair. Then the first chance he got, he changed the law so nobody could sue the way he did.
This is their way.
He has shown no respect for any other declared national monument (such as Bears Ears) so why should anyone respect his declaration? Fuck him. Rip the gaudy gold decor out as soon as he’s left, restore to the original design, and put back in a rose garden for good measure.
I’d say fix everything else he did first, meanwhile save the millions that would be spent renovating the WH. Also it would serve as a reminder of the whole debacle.
how many bugs you think are in that shit? nothing he touched can stay.
They were putin bugs all over the place!
Save those millions? The next President has to live inside that house and preferably not be vomiting every single day because that just sounds inefficient. There is no possible scenario I can imagine where I’d move into that place with all that fucking fake gold in it. Keep in mind most other Presidents have been human beings with some semblance of taste and the accompanying gag reflex.
Tackling the big concerns that cost Republicans in the election I see…
I like how Trump doesn’t realize that he was definitely on the ballot.
He was constantly saying before the midterms that he was on the ballot.
Yeah he definitely knows. He’s just trying to spin, and it’s about as impressive as a fish flopping around in a boat
Everything this clown signs should become null & void the minute he is dragged out of his ballroom bunker.
Since almost all of it is Executive Orders, it literally can all be made null and void with a single EO from the next president.
I hope the next president makes an executive order to remove executive orders as a method of any real things being passed. Like, an executive order can be issued to recall a congress in recess, but not be issued for things that should require a vote, or start “super not acts of war” and/or eliminate it as an option. The clawing back and removal of a lot of BS presidential protections/immunity need to take place too. Checks and balances, with extra emphasis on the checks. No god damn kings.
Hopefully he pulls a Hitler and doesn’t make it out of the bunker except in ash form.
Hopefully he pulls a Hitler
He doesn’t have the guts to do that.
I’m sure they’ll give just as much respect to the preservation of your changes as you gave to the people’s property in the first place
Yeah it’s really funny how he thinks this will do anything. The Antiquities Act goes both ways. He himself de-listed national monuments to open them up for logging and oil exploitation.
But let’s say the next president doesn’t de-list, cultural landscapes consultants will almost certainly agree on restoring it to a more historic pre-Trump layout.
He loses this one no matter what
yes, your bugs are safe
Lol fuck yourself you gaudy no taste scumbag.
Yeah, we will, as an example of what not to do.
Damnatio memoriae is a far better approach.
