Perspective.

You don’t get a true feeling for how utterly bizarre this picture is until you zoom out.

For example:

Where is all the furniture?

Why is there a huge expanse of green carpet in the room? Why is there wall to wall carpet anyway? I thought the White House has beautiful hardwood floors and lush acreage of expensive area rugs. Is this even the White House?

I see Melania has decorated the tree in the traditional “Fu#% Christmas” style.

That’s a very small desk. Where is the Resolute? Why wasn’t this done in the Oval Office?

What have they done with the RESOLUTE??

Why is there a presidential seal the size of a dinner plate attached to the front of this teeny tiny desk? Is he feeling threatened by the image of Biden standing in front of a backdrop with “president-elect” scattered all over it? (If so, nice work, Joe!)

Let me guess, the eagle carving on the front of the Resolute was too non-specific. He then shakes his tiny fists and demands the presidential seal be affixed to it. But they tell him that that would risk marring the surface of a priceless antique. His fury hits the roof. They give him this desk with seal instead. (It appears that this desk is for signing ceremonies on the road)

And that mural, is it just me or does that mural content seem out of place?

I want answers for why Trump would choose to portray himself as a overgrown brat at the kiddy table, eating by himself and probably getting mashed potatoes and gravy ground into the tacky green carpet.

There’s got to be a reason.

  1. Apologies – where/why – all been taken away to reside in Mary-Lago .

    • Wouldn’t that be theft? That stuff is only on loan to him for four years. The lease is up.

  2. Definitely not the Oval Office which doesn’t have murals. So the Resolute is, I’m sure, still there. Curious, I did a bit of Googling and discovered that he’s in the Diplomatic Reception Room. There’s a photo of the Obamas standing in front of the fireplace with the portrait of Washington above it, i.e., the exact spot where he’s sitting. In the Obama photo, there isn’t much in the way of furniture. Just a lone couch in front of the mural on the right (where the undecorated Christmas tree stands in his). The room is fully carpeted with a gorgeous oval pattern in muted colors, not the ugly green one.

  3. This song has nothing to do with the current meaning of “Black Friday”.

    I don’t care. 😛
