Trump Busted DIYing Tacky Oval Office Decor With Super Glue

[demmiblue]

President Donald Trump has been personally adding his own tacky gold decor around the Oval Office—using super glue.

New York Times reporters Maggie Haberman and Jonathan Swan, in their forthcoming bombshell book “Regime Change: Inside the Imperial Presidency of Donald Trump,” revealed that Trump appears to be calling all of the shots with the decor.

They reported that White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt walked into the Oval Office one morning to find that Trump himself was putting up gold adornments. Leavitt found him with a bottle of super glue in his hand, busy adding new decorative items to the fireplace mantel.

“As he was known to prefer his own aesthetic handiwork to anyone else’s, the sight of the president squeezing glue onto gilded appliqués and mounting them on the wall himself surprised no one in his inner circle,” the authors wrote, in an excerpt released by The New York Times.

1. This explains so much

[electric_blue68]

2. Ugh!

[LuvLoogie]

3. Maggie Haberman trying to cash in on

a decade of trump fluffing. Oh look at trump's eccentricities!

Sentimental hogwash.

[yellow dahlia]

4. And they don't "go".

[wnylib]

5. The fool thinks that using super glue will make them permanent fixtures

to last when he is gone.

But even super glue can be removed.

[tanyev]

6. Destruction of government property over and over and over again.

[sop]

7. Trump's interior decoration golden rule: If X number of gold gimcracks look ok, 100X is better.

[tanyev]

15. 1000% better!

🤨

[PatSeg]

17. Ha, ha!

OR 10,000% better! With Trump math, there are no limits.

[Talitha]

8. We'd all be happy if he'd use that glue instead of lip gloss....

[dflprincess]

9. I'm surprised

He didn't glue himself to the wall.

[dclarston13]

10. I don't believe it!

He would have glued himself to the mantel.

[Blue Owl]

11. How... HOW is this cartoonish clown taken seriously?

[keep_left]

12. IIRC, most of Trump's gold doodads...

…were found to have come from a local Home Depot—made from plastic or perhaps cheap pine—and then spray painted gold before being tacked onto the walls and fireplace mantel.

[canetoad]

13. Knowing his ineptitude

With anything requiring precision and dexterity, I'll bet he's stuck his fingers to the gold ornaments more than once.

[PatSeg]

18. That's what I was thinking

I'm an absolute klutz when it comes to superglue, I can't imagine him using it without some major mishaps.

[NoMoreRepugs]

14. $1000 says he paints his little mushroom and balls gold.

[Grim Chieftain]

19. OMG! LOL!

Wouldn't be surprised.

[MustLoveBeagles]

25. Lol

[BaronChocula]

16. May he get glue on his oral anus in the Oval Office n/t

[Katcat]

20. No way nuh uh

If he had done that himself, there would be super glue streaks on the walls and globs on the floor because more is better. And they wouldn’t be straight

[Beartracks]

21. As fake a representation of ostentatious wealth as his tan is of robust health. n/t

[AverageOldGuy]

22. So -- what does this portend for . . .

. . . the ballroom?

. . . the arch?

I mean . . . I can see him around midnight ordering the Secret Service to load up a couple of stepladders, big bottle of Super Glue, and some cheap gold doo-dads from Sam's Discount Furniture Store into the limo and head for the arch where he can do a little decorating.

[fierywoman]

27. I'm worried about the coming Versailles Effect ...

[Totally Tunsie]

23. He doesn't have the patience to do something that precise.

There's no way the items would be perfectly lined up and affixed. He's too klutzy. Besides, WHEN has he ever done any work by himself and WHEN did we start believing Maggie Haberman 100%?

IMO, not buying this claim.

ETA Case in point: He couldn't even manage this: https://www.democraticunderground.com/100221315562

24. Regardless of who actually did it, it is vulgar...

...tacky, and cheap looking.

French provincial brothel vibe.

[oasis]

26. Looks shitty. The gold decor does too.
