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!”.

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

    The choice of classic black and white marble really adds a special grandeur to the interior and makes it timeless. If you want to recreate such an atmosphere of luxury and sophistication in your own home, you should choose an elegant bathroom suite that will perfectly emphasise your taste. Modern collections allow you to harmoniously combine traditional aristocratic design with maximum everyday comfort. Properly selected plumbing and details will help turn an ordinary bathroom into a real masterpiece.

    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.

    Edit 1 day later: Just saw a picture of the marble version. The images didn’t load when I read the article yesterday. Yikes. Green tile FTW.

        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
