Marble everything is just so extra... like does we need that much sparkle? I gotta say, I'm both impressed and kinda disappointed by Trump's latest White House makeover 
. On one hand, the all-marble bathroom is straight fire 
- who wouldn't want to step into that marble-encrusted oasis after a long day of work? But on the other hand, it feels like he's trying too hard to be fancy and historicize everything just for the sake of it 
. I mean, what's next? A solid gold toilet seat? 
For real though, this whole thing makes me think about how we value history and tradition in our public spaces
. We need to strike a balance between preserving the past and making room for innovation and progress. Maybe Trump is coming from a good place, but it's also possible that he's just trying to make himself look like a big deal 
. Either way, I think we can all learn from this: sometimes less is more, and it's okay to let the original design speak for itself

The dude is seriously taking White House renovations to a whole new level...of cringeworthy. Like, come on, an all-marble bathroom is not exactly subtle. It's like he's trying to scream "look at me, I'm rich and fancy!" And don't even get me started on the fact that he thinks it's a good idea to replace some 70-year-old tile with new marble just because it doesn't match his current decorating scheme.
And what's next? Is he gonna redecorate the entire White House in gold leaf and crystal chandeliers?! The thought of it is giving me major anxiety. I mean, can't we just leave the historic aspects of the building alone?! This whole renovation thing is just a vanity project, plain and simple.
And seriously, 90,000 square feet for a ballroom? Are you kidding me?! What's next, a giant movie theater in the basement?! The fact that only 28% of Americans support this monstrosity just shows how out of touch Trump is with the people. I'm calling it now: this whole renovation thing is gonna end up being a major mistake.
