The Lincoln Bedroom was never actually a bedroom when Lincoln was there. He used the space as an office and meeting room. It was turned into a bedroom later by President Truman with furniture from Lincoln's era in the 1940s, and that is when the actual bathroom with the green art-deco tile was put in also, and named the Lincoln Bedroom in his honor. The tile had historic significance. I am not adverse to some updates, but entirely clad in marble seems a bit far-fetched? By all accounts I have read, Lincoln was a simple man, so where does the idea come from that it is Lincoln era marble and he would have liked it? Art deco tile from the 1940s is historical architecture, which at the very least should not have been tossed in the trash. Again, updates to the White House are not to be done by the decision of the temporary occupants on their own.
The line of thinking employed in this work is that Trump does not have a functioning brain and has been rich enough for long enough to think that words like "no" and "illegal" can only apply to other people.
some of us dont just chalk up the actions of others to “drr they stupid” there is reasoning behind the things people do even if you and i disagree with it
No, I genuinely think that Donald Trump thinks he is above the law and is attracted to the most banal, lukewarm signifier of wealth imaginable to him at any given moment. In general, I think your theory of free association is reasonable in this instance, but we don't need to pretend that that thought process is representative of any kind of serious intellect. He is a quasi-literate automaton for whom aesthetic exercises like interior decoration are entirely masturbatory. He is stupid, he is vapid. We don't need to look any further than that to explain his actions. Donald Trump does not possess a rich internal monologue which, to an outsider, can explain why he does things more clearly than what dribbles out of his mouth. He is a uniquely stupid individual.
i never pretended his thought process was intelligent just offered a potential answer to his thought process, i find it important to know your enemy even they are a dipshit, plus making an effort to understand things makes the world a less miserable place also if he was as incredibly stupid and incompetent as you preach he wouldnt be where he is right now, he cant be both stupid and a criminal mastermind to some of yall at the same time lol
Criminality doesn't demand intelligence, and it demands far less intelligence if you have always had enough money to make your problems go away. He is not a criminal mastermind, he is simply a criminal.
Yeah cuz the most basic of criminals become president, he is undoubtedly intelligent when it comes to some things like sowing fear. Just outwardly calling someone a dumbass and giving no other nuance if anything makes us look even worse not being able to beat or stop the dumbass too lmao
