The good column – Donald Trump is a master builder in the heart

The current President of the United States, Donald Trump, is, one takes his self -assessment to the yardstick (the decisive scale he seems to have), an amazing all -rounder. So far, he has emerged primarily as a businessman, television star, statesman, writer (“Why we want you to get rich”) and women expert (“tomb emby the pussy”). But even as a rhetorician and philosopher, he has an extraordinary talent: Because he is blessed with the vocabulary and language of a second grader, he succeeds in conveying easy and understandable, like no other, even complex relationships. But of course he has far more skills that slumber in it.

The chief of staff of the White House, Susie Wiles, recently announced that Trump was “a master builder” in the heart and “had an extraordinary eye for details”. The US President is therefore also an architectural connoisseur and specialist in the field of interior design. As far as aesthetic design and successful shape is concerned, he has already taken the first brave steps in the White House. The passionate interior designer Trump is particularly important to have the grace and beauty of a building or room: for example, in the Oval Office, his current study, he has “had golden decorative elements and angels attached”, as can be experienced from the weekly newspaper “the time”. “There are now golden vases and figures on the Kaminsims, on a side table there is a massive golden letter complaint with the imprint” Trump “, of course in Versalia,” says the “Berliner Morgenpost”. The “golden angel figure” was also placed over the doors. There is also no shortage of rococo mirrors. In addition, “two large flag masts were set up in the garden and the former lawn (…) has now been almost completely covered with stone slabs” (“Die Zeit”). Golden decorative elements, golden vases and angel figures, golden letter complaints, (golden?) Flag masts: Well. It is skillful. Not everyone has so much aesthetic judgment and taste. Mies van der Rohe, Tadao Ando, ​​John Pawson and the other architecture longiters can cut off a disc.

The good column

Thomas Blum In principle, it does not agree with the prevailing so -called reality. For the time being, he will not be able to change them, but he can use them to exhort them or, if necessary, also cover one. So that the bad withdraws. We are solidarity with his fight against reality. Therefore, “the good column” appears at this point on Mondays. Only the best quality for the best readers!

Construction work on the east wing of the White House will soon begin, where the US President wants to have a huge “golden ballroom” for 650 guests built. In the “ZEIT” it says: “The interior should be based on Trump’s Mar-A-Lago in Florida, with opulent lustful and gilded elements.” So you can expect pompous hardcore kitsch first cabin. The “visualizations” created on the computer, which show what the “ballroom” should look like after its completion, arouse the viewer the spontaneous desire to be blind. You have the impression that the hall with its columns and arched windows is of one … How do you say that best? – Aesthetically challenged megalomaniac monarchs were designed, which has spent the past 250 years in the cold sleep and has just been thawed. Trump: “It will be beautiful.”

In other words, it will be an architectural and interior decorative desaster that should blow up the upward -open scale of tastelessness. As with a devastating traffic accident: you can’t actually look because it is not to be endured, and yet you feel the inner coercion of looking at it because you want to measure the full extent of the terror with the breath. The planned “ballroom”, commissioned by James McCrery, an architect who is known as a Catholic fundamentalist, is a neoclassical nightmare with a facility to run away. So far, McCrery has mostly designed Catholic churches and student centers on university premises and thereby opened up access to the divine through the beauty of their surroundings «(Catholic News Agency). One or the other already knows such gigantic construction disasters from illustrated photos, which show the facades and the interior of the villas of Eastern European oligarches, the only aesthetic category of which seems to have been: “A lot helps.” A style mixing machine from Disney-Tärchenschloss, pseudo-barock-edelkich men’s house and dictator palace.

In the ballroom of the White House it will look like in the bling-bling-ramsch and kitsch shops that can be found on the Neuköllner Sonnenallee.

Inside the ballroom of the White House it will look like in the bling-bling-ramsch and kitsch shops, which can be found on the Neuköllner Sonnenallee and in which hairdressing mirrors, the baroque frame of which was painted with gold paint, and garbage container-sized chandeliers (»opulent luster«) are offered. Gold -framed oil ham on the walls, on which rushing forests and wind doste mountain peaks can be seen; Gold and silver-colored nipples distribute in rough quantities over the room. Even on lead -heavy curtains and tablecloths with borders with tassels and troddles and other ornamental applications in the color variants silver, gold, old gold, old pink and mud brown will probably not be saved.

I am not sure whether innocent people should not be spared from such a sight in a better future.

In any case, it is certain that the people who will have to stay in this hall at some point will certainly deserve this kind of punishment.
