From an article on DailyKos about trump's desperate appeal on Facebook to give away Inauguration tickets:
"Just consider, hell be the first billionaire to live in subsidized government housing previously occupied by a more popular black family."
SO perfect!

I think trump's penury is the axle on which this whole mess turns. He was multiply bankrupt and was bailed out by the Russian mob. Now he's in over his head, and providing the keys to the back door of the US is his only means of paying back what he owes.

(5,730 posts)His Trump Enterprises and hotels around the world have gone way up since the election. Countries that had stalled projects out with permits and regulations have pushed them through.
What started for him as a publicity stunt has exceeded his wildest dreams. However, there may be a nightmare yet to come, not just for the rest of us, but even for him. His popularity has already started to drop as reality sets in.

But for the little time he does spend at the White House, he still might do this:

(5,730 posts)...I know billionaires who live pretty ordinary lives. Look at Warren Buffet too. Billionaire or not, no one except someone intent on compensating, would live like that. It doesn't show his wealth, just his ignorance and need to draw attention to his superficial success. What kind of little boy wears a suit or sits on stuffed lions among guilded columns and walls? What sort of parents, including Ms.DT (who wants to make her signature program children ), would raise a child like that, no matter how much money they have?
It looks very uncomfortable, like no one is intended to really sit in those chairs. I guess if you have a 2 minute attention span, it could work for a conversation.

(10,026 posts)She just wants to teach America's children how to dress for their Wall Street jobs and prepare them for riding lions. Things every child needs to know.
