US President Donald Trump has unveiled renovations to the bathroom in the Lincoln Bedroom, as his remodelling of the White House continues.

Trump shared photos of the new bathroom on social media, saying it had been “renovated in the 1940s in an art deco green tile style, which was totally inappropriate for the Lincoln Era”.

He claimed the new black and white marble is “very appropriate for the time of Abraham Lincoln and, in fact, could be the marble that was originally there!”.

    Always awesome seeing something like this smashed between other posts about Americans losing healthcare and slowing starving.

    That’d would have been much more persuasive if I had any confidence whatsoever that he knows what planet he’s currently on.

      Well you see, Ab Lincoln happened a long time ago and everything old is black and white so this marble is old because its black and white. It could even be from the same time! -DT probably

      Edit - Ab Lincoln (black and white so you know its old, probably original)

    Might be a hot take, but I truly don’t care about the design of the room where the US president shits, and neither should anyone else care (except maybe the US president himself).

    As much as I hate the man touching our landmarks and his horrendous “aesthetics”…

    … are we jumping on the green tile bandwagon?!?

    That’s a rough one to defend; right up there with carpeted bathrooms. Oof.

        Aesthetic issues aside, that is objectively really shitty marble to have used. Quality marble looks basically the opposite of that and isnt so intensely veiny. This is like the cheapest marble you could find. It looks like temu marble pattern garbage
