(25,938 posts)Rump wanted to exude opulence but he never achieved anything except trashiness. Its no wonder he was shunned by NYCs upper crust.

(22,037 posts)Trump is rude.
Hes a terrible conversationalist.
Hes crass.
Hes obnoxious.
Why would anyone invite him to a dinner party?
Also, hes not really rich.

(4,660 posts)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.

(32,083 posts)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.

Id have some brighter cushions and paintings in the Obama set up. Id also have flowers.

(11,465 posts)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.

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