I’ll admit that it’s somewhat disconcerting when one of the tools I rely on to determine the fake from the real is shown to be fallible.

I could happily live in a gold-plated penthouse I suppose. Just give me a $1million loan and watch me go!

Fuck the loan.
Own or be owned, there is no loan. [/yodo]

Honestly if someone handed me the keys to Trump’s apartment the first thing I’d do would be to go Pope Francis on all that tacky crap.

I’m sure I could use a solid gold toilet and still be the humble, virtuous person I am now.

Nobody is perfect. Journalistic standards are what distinguish fake news sources from real news sources. Printing retractions and corrections is one of the most visible ways to determine if a news source is legit.
I wish they would put notice of the change at the top of the article though. A correction should be a badge of honor.

Hell yeah, in fact I’d rather live in a slightly crappy, run-down space than one Trump has interior designed, because it’s so oppressive - like Versailles redesigned by someone with no taste. It’s offensive on multiple levels. Plus, a run-down space can be fixed with little more than a coat of paint, but Trump’s tacky crap would require major renovations to undo.

seriously, melt the thing down and improve a few homeless shelters. ( probably paint or foil anyway, given the dude’s cheapness and propensity for aggrandizement. a thin veneer over sh*t, if you will. )

You can pry my solid-gold toilet out from under my cold, dead butt!

What the little people don’t understand is that gold-plated fiberglass makes an excellent excellent shower insert. I have the greatest golden shower available. The greatest.

I see no evidence of polish.

That’d be a cold shock to sit on in a winter morning before the house heats up.
