| Every president remodels and redecorates the White House, often to a much greater degree. The consternation over it is an intentional distraction. |

| You don't adorn it with gold if you have taste. Trump is not going to live much longer than 2028 anyway. |

| ▲ | moi2388 4 days ago | parent [-] | | Want to bet 10k? You’re literally making claims without any basis. He left last time, he will leave again, if he even makes it to the end of his term | | |
| ▲ | lcnPylGDnU4H9OF 4 days ago | parent [-] | | > without any basis This is his second, ostensibly last, term, meaning he will have an uphill battle at best to convince the public that he should get another term for some bullshit reason. His last term ended with him obviously trying to prevent the next guy from taking over. He obviously wants to be in power. It's disingenuous to say there is no basis. Whether it's likely is another matter but this is intellectually dishonest. | | |
| ▲ | moi2388 2 days ago | parent [-] | | Every president wants to be in power, or they never would have ran. Fact is you’re fear mongering for no reason. Last time he also just left. There are zero cases of a president staying in office after their terms. | | |
| ▲ | LightBug1 2 days ago | parent [-] | | If you're willing - how old are you? Where are you from? What do you do? I'm just really curious how you get to a stage in life firing off this kind, sorry, naive view. The American rule book has well and truly been ripped up and burned ... you just can't seem to see the smouldering embers at your feet ... | | |
| ▲ | moi2388 12 hours ago | parent [-] | | I’m curious how you get to a stage in life where you just make up crisis, when all previous cases show this is simply not happening. He already left once before. I don’t understand how this is news to you. |

| ▲ | potato3732842 5 days ago | parent [-] | | >he (and his kind) lives for short term gratification and will move on to another house and decorate that with gold. Exactly. It's a social norm among that class of society When a Koch, or a Scwab, or the CEO of some mega-corp buys a property on Martha's Vineyard, or the Hamptons, or Vail or overlooking Tahoe or whatever, with intent to actually spend even the scantest amount of time there themselves they engage in absurd unnecessary renovations. That's just how they do things. There is an occasional exception for those in that group who have "found meaning" in some other avenue for lighting money on fire. Edit: You can thank me later for implicitly telling you where the best construction dumpsters are. |
