Trump has no taste.  The colors of the original bathroom may have been dated but the functional, modern design is far superior to the monstrosity Trump created.  (Trump was wrong to claim the original was an Art Deco design, the original was American Mid-Century Modern.  Trump doesn't know what he's talking about.)  Trump is just another rich asshole who believes expensive materials will overcome lack of any aesthetic taste or decorating skill.

IMO Trump's refurbished bathroom would be a tear out.  I wouldn't want anything like that in my house.

President Trump announced today that the refurbishment of the White House's  Lincoln Bathroom   is complete, and posted photos of the new interior to his website. "Highly polished, Statuary marble!" he wrote.

Such finery is fit for great leaders and echoes the presidential bathrooms of longtime Romanian president   Nicolai Ceaușescu   and famed Iraqi premier Saddam Hussein.

As U.S. Senator Elizabeth Warren pointed out , Trump's lavish spending on luxuries (including that  $300m ballroom ) comes as  millions of Americans are set to lose access to affordable healthcare . Despite his promises,  grocery prices aren't helping.


Here's how the Lincoln bathroom looked before it received the Trump touch

It's a shame Trump wasted so much expensive material.  The most impressive thing about Trump's new bathroom is how tacky it looks.

Nobody would notice the puddle in the corner.

He should have at least broken the vertical surfaces with a different color horizontal features/toe-kicks or something. It is positively vertigo inducing.
