    One of his extended family members has a house in the UK and it’s really close to where I live and I sometimes have to go down there and look at it because it’s quite spectacularly tacky. They’re never going to be able to sell it on because Pablo Escobar would think the gold leaf was overdone.

        Because it says “I’m rich” which to them means “I’m better than you”?

        Because with the exception of like one person the entire family is messed up. Most rich people buy large houses and Lamborghinis, but for some reason the trumps have the artistic taste of an 18th century monarch.

        I saw a comment on reddit a few years ago that said something like, “Trump’s idea of being rich is what an 8 year old would think being rich means.”

        Who else would be impressed by a gold toilet?

          I’d kinda be impressed with a solid gold or gold alloy toilet, mostly because as I understand it that would be a bitch to cast and to get working without breaking.
