New photos showing of classified documents in Trump's home.

I can't get over how other than the ridiculous sink / mirror / chandelier this looks like a shitty apartment bathroom. Like how are you going to put a plastic trash can with the bag exposed in the same room with all that other shit
That's the juxtaposition of Trump, isn't it? The guy lives in a gilded Manhattan apartment with golden crown moulding and yet he eats McDonald's and gossips to tabloid papers. A dumbass would fall for Trump's working class billionaire sthick this way.

the same shower curtain you had in your first apartment
marble countertops
I'm not sure about that. There's a lot of cheaper synthetic cabinetry surfaces that look a lot like marble but are basically a specialty plastic. Corian is a well known example. It doesn't have the same thermal properties as marble, so no-one touching it would be fooled for a second, but in photos it looks damn close. Corian and similar surfaces are actually superior to marble for any situation where easy and thorough cleaning is more important than the conspicuous-consumption factor of marble. Marble stains pretty easily, but the synthetics are non-porous and almost impossible to stain permanently. Washrooms, noncommercial kitchens, medical/dental settings, etc. are better served by the synthetics.
It could also be quartz, which is in between marble and the synthetic plastics in most respects. But I think it's likely a Corian-like in this photo, because there's a vertical slab of it in the shower with apparently the same pattern. That would be incredibly heavy if it were quartz or marble. But the synthetics are lighter which makes that sort of vertical use practical without a specially engineered wall. Because of their ease of cleaning they're actually a pretty good choice for showers if you can afford it.
Huh, interesting! I would honestly be shocked if he didn't opt for the cheaper pick; it is Trump after all. He wouldn't give a fuck about utility of ease of cleaning bc ofc he'd never have to deal with those aspects, but cheaping out while appearing fancy is def his bag.
All very true. Though I'm not sure I'd call using the Corian-type surfaces cheaping out. They're just cheap in comparison to marble. True cheaping out would be something like a plastic laminate. They're sheets of material from companies like Wilsonart and Tafisa and Formica that are glued onto particle board or plywood. They're the kinds of surfaces you find in most residential builds or budget commercial builds, like apartment kitchen counters or office lunch room counters.
Plastic laminates are fine if the installers know what they're doing. Preventing air bubbles, making sure the edges are sealed to prevent delaminating from the particle board or plywood substrate, etc. They're very easy to clean thoroughly with regular household cleaners. They can look very nice, and there's a thousand colours and patterns that you'll never find in the natural world if you're looking for an artificial look. They're also very lightweight so you don't need to worry about structural complications. You can easily cut them with regular woodworking tools. Any old tablesaw or hand circular saw goes through them like butter. But it's really easy to apply laminates wrong, and it's difficult to undo mistakes in application. A lot of residential kitchen companies will save themselves time and headaches and just subcontract out countertops to local countertop manufacturers who have long experience with applying laminates properly.
i feel like i learn something useful or interesting every day on this site
thanks for sharing! :meow-coffee:
Is that because in the us you have wooden houses? I have seen marble on walls before but here we use brics adobe and stone.
Isnt trumps house an old spanish mansion? Wouldnt it be built in a spanish style with thick walls?
Note how low the chandelier is, and how the window extends past the shower curtain bar.
I'm not sure this room was ever used for anything besides storing classified papers.
This is American high culture, the sistine chapel of the bourgeois class.
These were as close as DALL-E 2 could get for me:

I hope that's a guest bathroom and people just got to read classified documents while taking shit
Hilarious to me that Jan 6th wasn't the thing to bring Trump down but showing his golfing buddies where seal team six was in Afghanistan was.
This exact thing was in the indictment document today. There is a transcript where he showed classified documents during an interview, talking about a planned attack on "[Country A]". He told the press that he could have declassified these documents but they are still secret and he can't declassify them now.

TRUMP: Well, with [the Senior Military Official]-uh, let me see that, I'll show you an example. He said that I wanted to attack [Country A]. Isn't it amazing? I have a big pile of papers, this thing just came up. Look. This was him. They presented me this this is off the record, but they presented me this. This was him. This was the Defense Department and him.
WRITER: Wow.
TRUMP: We looked at some. This was him. This wasn't done by me, this was him. All sorts of stuff-pages long, look.
STAFFER: Mm.
TRUMP: Wait a minute, let's see here.
STAFFER: [Laughter] Yeah.
TRUMP: I just found, isn't that amazing? This totally wins my case, you know.
STAFFER: Mm-hm.
TRUMP: Except it is like, highly confidential..
STAFFER: Yeah. [Laughter]
TRUMP: Secret. This is secret information. Look, look at this. You attack, and--
TRUMP: By the way. Isn't that incredible?
STAFFER: Yeah.
TRUMP: I was just thinking, because we were talking about it. And you know, he said, "he wanted to attack [Country A], and what..."
STAFFER: You did.
TRUMP: This was done by the military and given to me. Uh, I think we can probably, right?
STAFFER: I don't know, we'll, we'll have to see. Yeah, we'll have to try to--
TRUMP: Declassify it.
STAFFER: -figure out a-yeah.
TRUMP: See as president I could have declassified it.
STAFFER: Yeah. [Laughter]
TRUMP: Now I can't, you know, but this is still a secret.
STAFFER: Yeah. [Laughter] Now we have a problem.
TRUMP: Isn't that interesting?
Jesus fuck he's so DUMB
Has SNL started quoting him verbatim yet because they really should
I want Khan academy but they just have Donald explain a new concept off the cuff every week. I need to see inside his brain
Bro it’s like in a movie when a crime boss gets suspicious because one of his guys gets caught and released from jail in one day and is now asking “hey boss remember all that crime we did together, what are your thoughts about that?”
Except it’s just Trump talking about himself
The Bluth/Trump resonance is so strong. I couldn't find a decent clip for the part I'm referring to, but a house full of boxes of evidence is one of their gags: Best clip I could find
They even had Scott Baio :data-laughing:
Dudes rock. Hope he was wiping with some report that a spy died for
I wouldn't want to be the one assigned to go through those boxes at the bottom behind the toilet
All this time I thought his administration just had garbage security and was refusing to admit it. But he actually has old archive boxes of classified documents and is not doing anything with them?
Bare minimum effort here is to give them to Alex Jones. Dont hold onto them and continue to incremenate yourself.
I'm actually convince they're a bunch of numpties, given how much stupid shit they've been accused of
This makes more sense. They've probable been selected for the most blindly loyal and naive bodyguards in the US. Politicians dont want there guards judging them.
And people though bidets were bougie decadence. The proletariat shall have washed assholes for the revolution.
Trump doesn't wipe, it's why his security detail calls him Clump....
bernie wipes with a sock that was dried on a radiator prior because it is ecological :yeonmi:

"On May 30, 2022, at 12:33 p.m., a Trump family member texted NAUTA: Good afternoon Walt, Happy Memorial Day! I saw you put boxes to Potus room. Just FYI and I will tell him as well: Not sure how many he wants to take on Friday on the plane. We will NOT have a room for them. Plane will be full with luggage. Thank you!"
lmao they're so fucking stupid
OMG remember the whole "he's flushing classified docs down the toilet" bit?
It's like they're just recycling bits and they ran out of imagination.
