I mean we all know the actual reason. Not that he doesn’t like what it symbolizes or where it’s from or who would have liked it, because he’s completely ignorant of all those things. He knows it’s not a gaudy trinket of the sort that he associates with having money, and therefore it’s taking up space for the ostentatious crap that he thinks looks impressive.

From Wikipedia:
The plant was removed from the Oval Office during the start of Donald Trump’s second presidency in 2025 and replaced with a collection of gold objects.

It took me a few minutes to figure out if this was Kristi Noem or Nancy Mace. What is up with this Mar-a-Lago look? I don’t really care that much. They can look however they want, it’s just so bizarre looking.

It’s kind of like how all squares are rectangles but not all rectangles are the increasingly fast-paced dissolution of our society under the pressure of looting by narcissistic oligarchs. Or something.
