In reply to the discussion: Take a wild guess what Trump's ball room is modeled on? [View all]ChicagoTeamster
(66 posts)41. Hitler also remodeled the Chancellor's office at the Reichstag and another building to add ballrooms and a conservatory
Although the pictures in the MT bluesky post do show compelling similarities, I don't have any pictures of what Hitler's ballrooms looked like, he redesigned the Chancellory and other buildings. So maybe Trump is following Hitler's playbook and Kremlin design because so much of the Third Reich's property was destroyed. Either way, he's cobbling together everything from the examples of other Authoritarians and Fascists.

Perhaps he wants to share a pure cane sugar Diet Coke and big Mac with Pootie in the ballroom.

My first thought was "Versailles" -- actually, most tacky, overdone ballrooms are based on the tastes of French monarchs

The ladies i sew with on Mondays don't think Trump needs more room for his balls assuming he has any.

All of this kind of monumental shit is ultimately based on the Palace of Versailles...
