Steven Cheung informs us that Trump's fugly gilded bordello White House is "full of splendor and significance"

The Trump administration has clapped back at Grammy-winning musician Jack White’s critical commentary on the president’s new-look Oval Office.

White, former front man for The White Stripes, unleashed on Instagram on Monday, claiming that Donald Trump’s torrent of gold and gilded additions to the office were an “embarrassment to American history,” describing it as “a vulgar, gold leafed and gaudy, professional wrestler’s dressing room.”

“Look at his disgusting taste, would you even buy a used car from this conman, let alone give him the nuclear codes?,” White said, posting a photo of the Oval Office. “A gold plated Trump bible would look perfect up on that mantle with a pair of Trump shoes on either side wouldn’t it?”

*****

Cheung added, “It’s apparent he’s been masquerading as a real artist, because he fails to appreciate, and quite frankly disrespects, the splendor and significance of the Oval Office inside of ‘The People’s House.’”

Oddjob(Stephen Cheung), just mimics TSF. First, always insult the creator of the post you are responding to, then use flowery, over the top language to compliment yourself.

I have one question: Is Oddjob actually insinuating that TSF is an artist?

Bwahahahahahahahahaha.

Whose rented apartment is decorated with framed sport’s jerseys, butler and Marilyn Monroe sculptures and katanas.

His boss has the taste of a poor man’s idea of a rich man.

President Donald Trump tested out the new outdoor speakers outside the freshly remodeled Rose Garden at the White House, playing some of his favorite hits that echoed beyond the White House driveway.

White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt brought reporters out into the garden to witness the event.

The president initially sparked interest after the familiar peals of Lee Greenwood's God Bless the USA began, followed by Pavarotti's 'Nessun dorma,' Elvis Presley's 'Are You Lonesome Tonight' and Joe Cocker's 'You Are So Beautiful.'

snip--

'The president wanted me to let all of you know that he is testing the speakers for what will be the best event in the history of the White House,' Leavitt said, previewing a future event to be determined in the upcoming days.

Hey, Steven Cheung: take off the kneepads and tell us why we should admire those new golden standing-cock umbrellas---you know, the ones situated on the cheap picnic furniture, there on the concrete parking lot, where the beautiful rose garden used to be...

MA-Lago. Think they look cheap on such a historic site as the WH. MA-Lago's a club; the WH is not.
