This massive irony does not seem to create much traction within the ranks Mr Trump's True Believers: i.e. him leading a rather large nationalist, nativist, populist, white-only, know-nothing, right wing, redneck, anti-intellectual lower middle class 30%-ers (if not more) of the population. And he ... being a man of significant wealth (in the 10's of billions ~ according to him ~ but it is possibly a typical Trump brag, but he won't show it) with massive homes all over the USofA has no compunction whatsoever in flaunting his good fortune in the noses of his unemployed, lowly employed, trailer-owners from West Virginia or rodeo-riders from the plains of south east Montana.
T'is a conundrum that his loving hoardes do not (or cannot) catch this rather in-yer-face oddity.
But, be that as it may, Trump as usual has no sense of humility regarding his tacky knick knacks at home nor an ability to gently push back from the over-adoration he clearly needs above anything else.
Louis XIV lived an earlier life along the same lines: a massive ego, an over-arching authoritarian . . . and especially (for this observation) a neurotic neediness to surround one's self with nothing-but-tackorama-Rococo when it came to home decoration.
To wit:
Mr Trump in his living room (one of many) with souvenir-wife, cute kid, and a stuffed lion.

Louis XIV and His Royal Hair. Gee, what other person do we know who has a similar hair 'issue'? But, can Donald compete with Louis's legs?

A certain similarity can hardly be denied when it comes to housing. Granted, Louis has it over Donald in size (though The Donald would probably disagree by showing his hands), but Mar-el-a-Tortilla-Largo-On-Sea would shirley be more comfortable with those breezes coming off the assure ocean.
We'll never know, as Donald, soon to be ensconced in the White House will complain it to be "much too small" (watch those hands Donald) and immediately send a bill to Congress demanding 450 billion dollars to expand the joint. And I mean EXPAND!
Louis's country cottage (circa 1693) just outside filthy old Paris:

Donald's pied a terre in Floridia (circa unestablished, and possibly for sale as Latino immigrants are starting to get closer)

Louis's bedroom, within which many secrets have been gossiped about. Louis more than likely had syphilis (but who cares ... 97% of the population of Europe had the clap in the 17th century) and there is some speculation that The Sun KIng was boinking his mother.
But never let it be said that all those STVs and incestations were carried out while slumming in the backwaters of the 2nd Arrondisement .

But, as goes Louis, so goes Donald, eventually.
Again, slightly more muted, but not by much, gold-wise. Apparently there are a few gold mining operations in western Namibia which have run out of the stuff ~ throwing 1,675 black guys out of work overnight ~ just from being pledged to this particular boudoir. But as Donald would say, "hardly ostentatious, simply comfortable".
And those black guys? "We're gonna get 'em all a job, that's for sure ~ (but of course, not here at home) ~ and those jobs we get 'em will be AWESOME!"

The coup duh grass ~ as with all our homes, especially the ones with rococo touchings (many gay guys love this stuff) ~ is of course, the living room. If Louis XIV had a mirror fetish (and for that matter, a chandelier fetish), Donald steps up to the plate, like a man, and gives what Louis never had ... a room with a view.
Why no view at Versailles you ask? Because Louis was paranoid regarding assassination attempts.
Donald has not yet thought this one out properly, but undoubtedly the Secret Service will be boarding his up.
Come to think of it, that may well be the excuse he uses to slither out of taking the job!
Louis's living room. So nice to have a small breakfast nook where one can view themselves from every conceivable angle.

The Donald's living room. As mentioned, it comes with a view of downtown Manhattan, and has an inspired concept which Versailles lacks: a wall of jagged gold built-in back scratchers. How original. Amazing!!
Though a little dangerous I would think, especially if one is drunk and falls hard against the wall ('Wall' ... did I mention 'Wall'?). Could be very bloody.

I wonder what those rodeo cowboys from Montana think about the concept of 'conspicuous consumption' now?
