So after all of that, Trump had a stock toilet from the Home Depot installed? That's actually a perfect representation of everything Trump.

Step 1: Marble

Step 2: Gilded shit

Step 3: Whatever, done.

The genius of Trump's classy design taste.

It's basically the Trinity Broadcasting Network aesthetic, only with more makeup and worse hair.

I think that's a Toto Vespin ii, which is admittedly a nice toilet, but yes, definitely just off the shelf of a Home Depot

Not really impressive, actually. It's just recency bias as I'm looking to replace the toilets in my house and did some research into the best choices. (Toto Drake is the best choice under $1000 if anyone is curious.)

I went with the Gerber Viper as the second best unit under $1000 but cheaper than the Toto. It's so good I just ended up replacing my other toilets with the same model.

I splurged and spent 150 on a low water usage style. I did upgrade the plastic seat to wood though, I'm classy like that you know.

But how many golf balls can it handle at once? That seems to be the advertised metric on the store shelves.

7

I feel like if that is your (not you specifically) shopping metric for a toilet, you should change your shopping metric to a better diet.....

I don't know about your experience, but home Depot gets angry every time I've tried a new one.

7

So, I started a bunch of responses about putting toilets/sinks that HD sells in their washrooms to try to advertise them, but there's a bunch of reasons why the industrial models work much better in those situations.

Then, it dawned on me... Ikea should open a hotel.

The best toilets a Flachspüler. I believe you have the total opposite in the US. Like poo oceans.

The toilet that shares the delicious aroma by shitting on a little shelf outside water? I always wondered what's the benefit except forcing you to do your deed quickly because of the stench?

3

Yes. The first benefit is no water splash, the second one that you can properly examine your poop. I don't really see stench issues as long as you flush when you're done.

2

That's on brand for USA. They don't call it a "third world country with a gucci belt" for nothing.

I know nothing about this but I wasn't under the impression that those special, "named" facilities with gold stucco dragons around their portraits in the WH were meant for actual usage by humans? More like museum pieces, maybe?

23

Trump thinks it's a low sink and uses a standing sink so he doesn't have to take out his risers

The one on the right is immediately 5x more civilized because it has a bidet. Can you imagine spending tens (or hundreds?) of thousands of dollars on tasteless marble and tacky decadent gold, and yet still coming out of the bathroom with a dirty bumhole every time?

Also it's way too close to that window considering the relative height. Everyone in the garden is going to get to watch you wipe your ass

7

Bold of you to assume that he uses the tp- it’s much more likely one of sycophants licks him clean. The tp is for other people.

1

Even for all the might of USA and Trump and White House, they can't install a bidet toilet seat like Japan. How weak are they?

The US is still too backward for bidets even when trying to be classy/tacky AF.

I gotta say, a cheap screw in bidet has been an ABSOLUTE game changer...it's amazing

Sorry, but they really named a bathroom after Lincoln? I'm not sure how much of an honor that is tbh.

It's where you drop off your Lincoln Logs.

I came here to make this joke. It's impossible to have an original idea on the internet. Kudos to you for beating me to it sir!

14

They named a bedroom after Lincoln, and as far as I know it has an attached bathroom.

Gold look good in many places.

Except bathrooms and white/light fornitures

12

Gold is very much "less is more"

Local brewery has a textured black wall with lil gold accents, looks like a million dollars

Seems like trump is doing a lot of remodelling for a house he will only be in for 3 more years, unless…

18

I mean, 3 years could be most or all of the time he has left. Not to say I have any certainty that he will, or that he won't, leave the White House when his time is up. You never know what's just him trolling to distract from the Epstein files, though.

1

I was thinking the same thing. Especially if you're elderly and not in great health...

5

You know what I love in a bathroom? all my stuff on display on the wall and shit fucking lighting, great work ding dongs

16

Y'know, there's blinds you can get that come up from the bottom to take care of that awkward placement so near the window. Let in the sky without mooning the tourists.

5

The Lincoln toilet looks tasteless and ugly as fuck! With all the money Orange Shitler has, he can't even hire a good designer? Urghh 🤮

4

Donald Trump taste in everything is a reflection of him: concerned 100% with what he THINKS a rich and powerful person has and looks likes, as well as the superficial and gaudy displays of wealth that historically have garnered nothing but contempt from everyone.

3

Obvious fake news

  1. Toilet is obviously an off the rack, lacks capacity for Trumps ass in both size and structural capacity.

  2. No XXXL diaper changing station.

  3. It's not tacky enough for the twice-impeached, court-adjudicated rapist with 34 felony counts, Donald J Trump.
