Truth In Satire
After Trump Calls White House “A Real Dump,” He Tweets Its 17 Biggest Flaws
President says official home is “a total shit shack — if I didn’t know better, I’d say 43 other families lived here before us”
President Trump has endured intense criticism since calling the White House “a real dump,” as reported in Golf.com last week.
The 55,000-square-foot mansion at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, which has been home to first families since 1805, apparently does not have the opulence that Mr. Trump and his family are accustomed to in their 53-room Trump Tower penthouse and the luxurious Mar-a-Lago resort in Florida.
After his swipe at the official presidential home went viral, the “Commander In Tweet” felt compelled to justify his gripes about the prestigious residence, one that most Americans would be proud to live in. He did so in this multi-message Twitter barrage late Tuesday:
“Lincoln Bedroom no big deal. Pillows suck. Hair looks ridiculous in a.m. No wonder Abe wore stupid hat!”
“White House Gift Shop still selling Obama stuff. Unfair! Buy American, not Kenyan!”
“Big screen TVs in War Room really low rez. Can’t see shit. Trump Tower entertainment room way better — no lie!”
“Chairs in Family Dining Room rickety, unsafe — probably sat on by hippoPOTUS (haha!) William Howard Taft. Cheap!”
“Paper thin walls. Can hear Bannon blasting the butt bazooka every time he uses West Wing bathroom. Horrible!”
“James S. Brady Press Briefing Room? Who? Never heard of him. Don Jr. needs gun room. NRA approves. Let’s renovate!”
“Hardly any gold leaf here. Wanted to go full gilt on South Portico pillars — getting push back from stupid historian Doris Kearns Goodwin.”
“Just found old peanut shells in basement. What, no housekeeping service since Carter?! Unacceptable!”
“Grand staircase creaks like Wilbur Ross’s knees. No chance to sneak off for late night intern sex like Bill C.— sad!”
“Can you believe it, White House has own library filled with books?! Who reads anymore? Outdated. Replacing with day spa.”
“Melania says no bidets in women’s bathrooms. Founding Fathers must have had VERY funky First Ladies! Disgusting!”
“Vlad has Toxic Cocktail Mixology Room in Kremlin. Love it! Tell Congress to authorize same for White House!”
“Just learned there’s a “Queen’s Bedroom” up on second floor…but we have no queen! Outrageous. Renaming it ‘Trump Super Suite.’ Classy!”
“FDR created Map Room. DJT converting it to GPS Room — because I’m modern day presidential!”
“Bomb shelter in sub-basement World War II-era. Not good enough! I need nuke-proof hideout. I’m the f**king president!”
“Don’t know why we have a “Situation Room” when MTV cancelled “Jersey Shore” in 2012. I know my reality TV — Mike Sorrentino so yesterday!”
“Whole place needs big league upgrades. Let Don Jr. and Eric bid — make White House great again!”
