Items to steal for the thieves guild from Skyrim
Who he thinks he is:
Seriously. Those classical art forms were originally meant to represent something. Originally deities that people very much actually believed in. And later they served as representations of higher virtues like justice, honor, courage, etc.
Classical forms, done right, can really send a message. Look at the art in the Supreme Court building. The current occupants of that building make a mockery of it. But that building was outfitted with carefully chosen sculptures meant to reflect the highest national virtues of law and justice.
And that's the problem with this. These figures don't represent anything to Trump, beyond just being expensive and vaguely "classy." Hell, even gilding usually has artistic reasons behind it. But if you throw gold on something without any thought or feeling, it just ends up feeling trashy.
Compare Trump's collection to a piece from the actual era he's imitating. Consider this video of a mechanical table from the actual 18th century, decorated with actual gilding in the same rococo style Trump loves. This was truly a piece for an aristocrat. It was finely made by a master craftsman, at the absolute pinnacle of his art. No expense was spared. The person who bought this piece could have easily afforded to have it covered completely in gold. But notice how restrained the gilding is in comparison to Trump's pieces here. The gilding still jumps out at you, but it's meant to complement and accentuate the rest of the piece, not dominate it. Gilding was the aristocratic decor equivalent of dessert. Sure, an aristocrat wanted to have some gilding. And sure, an aristocrat would certainly serve a nice dessert at any party they held. But if you serve your guests nothing but dessert, they're going to think something is wrong with you. Some fine gilding, carefully applied, communicated the aristocratic virtues of restraint and elegance. It says, "I have so much money that I don't feel the need to show it off." But if you cover everything in gold, then or now, it just feels trashy.
He's totally going for the despot dictator look.
i am going back and forth playing spot the difference and they are very clearly not the same object. left obviously looks like complete dogshit but the evidence is right there
Plus probably about $50-80 in gold leaf and glue.
Or a $7 can of spray paint across all of em.
It's all cheap plastic crap they got from a home improvement store and spray painted it gold. It's so gaudy and ugly like the man who enjoys it.
I really really hope the next president makes a point of showing this crap being thrown on a trash heap
Biden missed a chance to say 'you're fired' to Trump when he got into office. He never did since they believed it would be petty... But Trump did the same shit when he got reelected.
Don't you remember the swearing in. Trump high tailed it out while Biden was speaking.
Little orange coward
They should make a show of it also being cheap plastic crap as well.
The interior decorater made space for trophies but they didn't any prize so they put this instead.
Arts: evil is subtle and abstruse.
Reality:
What is it? Stupidly designed, massively overly elaborate jars and dishes. What's it's purpose? To be a tacky person's idea of wealth status.
It represents:
I know we’re not supposed to talk about people’s physical appearance anymore, but the eyes say everything. I’ve never seen these eyes anywhere else, and I haven’t even seen them in person.
They just look extraordinarily predatory. Always looking for the next ‘meal’. The next thing to gut and suck dry before they move on to the next thing. There’s no life or passion behinds them, they don’t stand for anything, it could be a democrat turned republican or a russian asset compromised by zionists, it will just zig and zag and move to the next thing until its dead.
Anyone who has ever worked on a farm has seen this look. This is how pigs look at things they wanna fuck, eat, or roll in the slop with.
Man I am saving that but I'm absolutely cutting it down to just the text. I'll be damned if I'm saving a picture of that piece of shit
i am the opposite, i want just the face to show people in pictures what america is like
Truly a case where a picture is worth a thousand turds
Trump reminds me of the primitive alien lobsters in "Songs of Distant Earth" by Arthur Clarke. At some point they're found to appreciate human-made shiny trinkets and even wear them as bracelets and shit.
Those are his awards, mother, from army.
At least Goldmember liked real gold.
It represents nothing. Imagine Smaug if he were incredibly incredibly stupid and also shit himself all day.
smaul prefers real gold none of these gold plated, or even gold painted.
Lol "represent."
These fucks aren't thinking about symbolism. He just thinks it looks good because he's got no taste
Participation trophies
from Epstein Island
I don't see Melania in this shot.
He earned more than a "participation" trophy on that island.
It represents gold. Do you think his brain can handle symbolism?
One of them is the chalice of everlasting life, the rest will kill you instantly. Choose wisely.

Participation trophy's. For what you ask? Shut up
They're his awards. From army.
Epstein's hand me downs that he got from acquisition aggrements with Costa Rica.
Theres two of each. Must be store ornaments.
It really looks like he's just glued those onto the walls.
It looks like it, because it is.
Trump himself was putting up gold adornments. Leavitt found him with a bottle of superglue in his hand, busy adding new decorative items to the fireplace mantel.
Holy fuck. I was wondering who he found that was actually willing to do this shit. Guess I was wrong. He's fucking doing it himself, by hand!
On one hand, that's hilariously pathetic, but on the other hand, it has got to be the closest he's ever come to doing physical labor.
Honestly, this is the most human thing I've ever heard about him. The idea that he would glue and place them himself is so very far from the "I have slaves for that" persona he projects that it's almost humble. I don't give two shits about the look, to each their own, but i can't reconcile him attaching them himself with the person he is.
Someone else might not get it perfectly to his tastes.
I just can't understand why they need to be glued lol does he think someone wants to steal that gaudy shit
