Looks like it was designed by a dictator from the middle east
Hey, relax guy
Well they invariably are the US best friends.
Wouldn’t even be surprised if someone from MBS’s team is involved
MBS
Mohammed Ben Sulayem? President of the International Automobile Federation (FIA) who is trying to be a corrupt dictator of Formula 1 racing?

(obligatory /s)
Maybe their new friend, Al Qaida Jolani the headchopper’s influence?
Well you’re half right.
Bad thing happens in the West
Liberals: “What are we, a bunch of Asians?!?!”
Tankies just can’t stop simping for dictators with pathetic disingenous strawmen.
Apparently criticising Western Exceptionalism = “simping for dictators”
I’m increasingly convinced that liberals don’t even think words mean anything anymore beyond signalling what team you’re on.
When you read the description “dictator from the middle east” and you believe that it is an attack on Asians in general, you do not understand that not everybody from the Middle East is Asian or a dictator.
What exactly do you think their point was?
Just look below. Pretty clearly to call the other person a racist.
The irony obviously being that this is about the interior design of the White House and calling it “designed by a dictator from the middle east” is about as bad of an insult as “designed by a king from europe”. It only really works as a racist statement, when you believe in Western Exceptionalism.

This Is some laughable mental gymnastics! I assure you that I don’t believe in Western exceptionalism.
The reason looking at Trump’s ugly, ego-stroking, interior design choices and saying they “look like a middle eastern dictator designed it” is racist, is because it Orientalizes the middle east, not as a place with diverse peoples, politics, and yes, interior design senses.
But instead papers over that diversity and paints Trump’s gaudy displays as unbecoming of a western leader, more akin to that of an imagined barbaric Oriental Despotism
Saying Trump’s design sense is “Like a middle eastern dictator” is very different from saying it’s “like a European king”. The former sits within a of a long history of Oriental racism perpetuated by Europeans, against people’s the Global South.
Please read Orientalism by Edward Said, I’m begging you people!
Go back to your reddit
A white man redecorated the Whitehouse and the person I responded to went “This Looks like a brown guy redecorated!” I don’t think I’m the one who needs to go back to reddit
and the person I responded to went “This Looks like a brown guy redecorated!"
Yeah? Is that what they said?
Looks like it was designed by a dictator from the middle east
Yes.
I think you’re the racist one here.
Wanna explain that one, Sherlock?
Tacky af. Almost as tacky as a gold toilet. And just as useful. A fine place to take a shit.
Gaudy septuagenarian trash ordered by a racist whose flesh is rebelling against its host body
Europe and Canada shouldn’t let white americans to seek refugee here at all even if they’re democrat voters and not even latinos! Only african americans and asians because whites and latinos all seem to have potentially, risk turning into maga nazis and as a anti racist white i personally wouldn’t want them spread their, fascist and racist filth on Europe or Canada causing potential new fascist groups.
If you have nothing to fear from racism, then being a refugee means that you are clearly NOT a fascist.
Bullshit. Those fascists will kill anyone opposed to them. There are tons of white LGBTQ people, too, and people with disabilities that would be murdered as well. And then there is the simple White anti-fascist folk who simply fucking hate the regime and need to regroup elsewhere.
I kind of understand where you’re coming from, but you are delusional if you think Canadians and Europeans don’t already have extreme right groups growing within their borders. We don’t need to allow Americans in to have their propaganda spread through different countries. It does via cultural hegemony.
At one point my very Québecois friend was listening to Joe Rogan podcasts and parroting his anti woke crap. When I go see my family in the countryside, I often feel like I’m talking to deep south rednecks. They say they hate Trump but they hate the person, not the politics, because it’s the same anti immigration and anti woke rhetoric.
And I’m not an expert about Europe as a whole but I know a bit about Germany and AFAIK, the AfD is making gains there. Is it because of americans and/or latinos going there?
All tinpot dictators prefer this kind of “style”.
That Gadaffi Drip
More like gadawful drip
Touche
No no no. Don’t touche that guy! Toucheing on Epsteins island is what got trump INTO this mess!
Honestly he’s not even doing THAT particularly well. This looks like it could be achieved in about half an hour with a trip to a craft store and a truly batshit amount of gold spray paint.
That’s probably how they did it.
It’s to hide all the piss stains.
Good taste vs. tasteless.
Tacky…
Tacky Taco.
He’s tacky and I hate him.
Holy shit, I thought the first image was just desaturated at first. Really giving gilded age 2.0 vibes.
I think it is slightly, or just different cameras. Those chairs are the same on both photos.
They could have been reupholstered, it looks like the ones in the bottom pic have a slight shiny pattern while the top ones don’t. But it does look like saturation is off even looking at the paint on the fireplace
Could it be all the gold fucking with the white balance?
Ah yes, the look of every dictator’s palace. Loads of gold. Only thing is, most dictators have a form of taste, Trump clearly does not.
Name one dictator that has taste…
Kim Jung Un.
I mean …have you seen his latest haircut?
🤤
Tastes like chicken.
Plus his rockets are pointy.
Unlike Bezos, whose rockets just look like the big penis he never had…
When you have a micro penis, you need to compensate. That’s why Trump needs so much gold. Why so many Americans need huge trucks. Why billionaires need a space company. It’s all to compensate something they can never have.
To be fair, they said “a form of” taste. Which I think is a significant distinction.
Cuz like, the Nazis definitely had a very strong aesthetic. Not exactly “tasteful”. But I can see calling it “a form of taste”.
Good point.
Have you seen the costumes of the SS? The German tanks? The epic bunker, mountain mansion and cars of Hitler? Have you seen the palaces of Nicolae Ceaușescu, Putin, Sadam Hussain, Gaddafi, Kim Yong Un? They were/are fucking evil but they did/do have style.
It looks like Trump wants the same but ordered everything from Aliexpress.
Well that confirms it. People with style are awful people. Which is what I will use to defend myself when I roll into a job interview looking like I slept in a dumpster.
…which I did.
Well, people without style can also be awful people. Trump is living proof of that.
It’a all a bit tacky, the nazi’s with their roman obsession. Everything is too big, too much. They need to prove something, that feels tacky and cheap. It’s all just a layer of veneer.
Gaudy
No class.
I love ggggoooolllldddd
Looked better without that fat orange man in it.
Oh god, what are all those things on the mantel? They look like random wine glasses that were covered in some melted gold, some… scales(?) the same way, and then some random ceramic goblets with spray paint?
I don’t even want to start thinking about what the busts.
It’s all trophies he bought himself for being such an awesome guy
One for each child he raped and threatened into silence…
