After watching recent Trump interviews in the Oval Office, does anyone else remember thinking to themselves how nice it is that Trump put in the order to have the office walls and fireplace decorated with gold trimmings?

I mean, who, after watching past presidents being interviewed in that office, didn't feel ashamed by the fact that there was no garish and gaudy golden filigree festooning the walls?

What, nobody? Just me?

It's just that it fills me with such pride in my country in knowing that finally - FINALLY - someone with great wisdom and impeccably good taste is at the throne of power and has decided to go with office decor that has that ever-so-coveted ambiance of a Saddam Hussein palace.

The only thing that would add the perfect and finishing touch to that new and opulent background is if Uday and Qusay were to join their dad for a family photo*.

I read he paid for it.

You are really having TDS as brainwashed by the media just as I was with Bush. I have learned to wake-up and think for myself.

Personally I note [from evidence] Trump is an egomaniac, boorish, childish in a way, thin skin and the like.

The above should not distract one from viewing the whole political thing objectively.

Objectively, Trump is an employee of the US Government with a specific employment contract.
Politically, Trump should be viewed based on an employee appraisal of whether he had fulfilled his terms of contract. His behavior is secondary, because those who employed him would have considered those secondary factors re his personalities.

Another point is, tribalism is prevalent in Politics, whoever occupy the leadership position will be condemned by the other side and targeted to be killed or ruined. Trump was liked by many on the left before he was President. Politics is just very dirty.

I had a chat with AI to assess Trump's employment appraisal [Economics, Foreign Policies, Security, Health, War, Defense, Leadership, and others] and he passed with something like 80/100. Note the contrast with Biden whose performance [if he ever did anything at all] was deplorable.

You have offered up some ridiculous nonsense over the years, but ^^^that^^^ might very well top the list.

I would say that whatever AI you "chatted with" must surely have only been referencing Trump's own personal assessment of the unparalleled success of his accomplishments while in office.

However, that cannot be, because Trump's self-assessment certainly would not have included the "80" part.

So, how about you reveal to us, not only which AI you were chatting with, but show us exactly what you said to it to elicit such a skewed and outrageous load of horse crap.

I have often stated that Trump being elected to the presidency is part of the "necrotizing karma" that America is reaping from all of the treachery, death, and destruction it has been sowing across the planet for the last seven or so decades in its imperialistic outreach.

Nevertheless, I still find it fascinating (albeit a morbid and depressing fascination) how so many people get suckered-in* by such an obvious, money-grubbing grifter who has taken the "art" of lying, deception, and blowhardity (blowhardishness?) to an unprecedented level (though I suppose I just answered my own question).

*(The Bible did warn us that even the "very elect" would be suckered-in by the freakin' Antichrist. I just never suspected that the Anti-C would come in the guise of a bumbling buffoon like from the movie "Being There" starring Peter Sellers. Except, in this case, unlike in the movie, our version of "Chauncey Gardiner" is thoroughly devoid of decency, morality, and good intentions.)
