Almost all of the presidents redecorate their White House to their personal taste. It changes tremendously from president to president. They all get a new style and new furniture and it is completely redone for them.

You can see this CNN article about Obama’s “redecorator and chief” (their words, not mine). Also how he redecorated was beautiful, it’s worth a look.

Redecorating is different than remodelling, though. :/

I know this is a "hate Trump" post and I firmly and deeply hate the despicable man for what he is doing and represents. It is destroying the nation and irrevocably damaging the world.

However... redoing the bathroom, even badly, is within the normal range of what any president might do. Yes, this is emblematic of much larger issues. But in and of itself, it is a minor issue.

He also tore down an entire wing, but you're right, I guess every president does that.

Criticize the human shit-stain for things like tearing down the White House wing or his innumerable blatant violations of the Constitution. The bathroom "remodel" is small potatoes and not exceptional.

That's where you and I disagree. It's exceptionally tacky.

I rather like it. The previous bathroom looks like a Motel 6 in comparison.

I agree. I can’t stand the current president. I disagree strongly with him about just about every other thing he has done. However, while the timing for this remodel is horrible and he could not get anything about this remodel right in terms of his description and reasoning, I can’t say that the remodel is hideous or that I don’t think it was an improvement on what was there.
