Rump wanted to exude opulence but he never achieved anything except trashiness. It’s no wonder he was shunned by NYC’s upper crust.

8. Trump has been shunned because he's disgusting

Trump is rude.

He’s a terrible conversationalist.

He’s crass.

He’s obnoxious.

Why would anyone invite him to a dinner party?

Also, he’s not really rich.

2. I'm not sophisticated enough for the top one,

I'd add a pop of color here and there.

The bottom one just needs to be demolished and thrown in the dumpster. Better yet, auction off the furniture pieces for a Planned Parenthood fundraiser.

BTW the Obamas also own homes in Hawaii, Martha's Vineyard, and Chicago too.

I can't stand it. I prefer lots of color, and yes. That top photo could use a lot more color. That being said, it's definitely a hell of a lot easier on the eyes than Trump's faux palace. Unfortunately for Planned Parenthood, the proceeds of any auction of his butt-ugly properties will go toward paying his back taxes and other legal settlements.

5. Neither would be my pick

but we all know which one is decidedly gaudy.
I’d have some brighter cushions and paintings in the Obama set up. I’d also have flowers.

would go for color, but of the two would choose the black and white. I would feel totally uncomfortable in gaudy furnishings. I would feel like I am hanging out in a museum.

9. Trump followers would consider the Obamas drab and cheap. They love glitter.

After all, he is a carnival barker.

12. But what about something like this?

from his penthouse

BTW I think the furniture, pictures, and other things were from the previous owners.
