Sorry is it just me, or am I unreasonable to imagine trump getting some tasteless art of a real bust with boobies on it?

Did anyone see the clips of him signing presidential orders. It looked like an episode from the simpsons. Some boobies would have gone down a treat.

Everyone is entitled to choose the decor of their home. Even someone living somewhere for a fixed term ("renters" as they are usually known) is entitled to make reasonable adjustments.

There is a museum a few hundred yards from the White House crammed full of trinkets that once graced that building. Things that one president liked but subsequent ones decided would be better in the public's gaze than just in their own.

If Trump had taken the MLK bust and used it as target practice with his rifle, I could understand the upset. But a president moving or removing things like this is nothing new. They don't get thrown away, they are too valuable - financially speaking, culturally speaking.

Some presidents make bigger changes than moving the odd bust. Nixon ripped out the indoor swimming pool and replaced it with a new press room, for example.

I'd've kept the pool and held press conferences on sun loungers with cocktails.

You are right OP, though.

Trump is a big racist.
In fact, the first thing he did as a President was to evict a black family of four. Nasty thing, as the father had just become unemployed and the mother was a housewife.
