The 25,000 paintings are largely croste, poor quality works of little to no value.
According to critics.

A timely reminder, for me at least, to give thanks for the fact that this imbecile is dead.

much of it trash bought from late night telesales shows.
Ignorant me had assumed that late night telesales networks were a strictly USAnian disease. Sorry to hear it’s metastasized.

Italian TV is legendarily awful.
Unrelated: Silvio was a media magnate (and failed clown).

Not unrelated at all: Berlusconi pioneered trash television in Italy.

Pour one out for the insurance agent who will have to deal with Trump’s estate when it too attracts some “woodworms.”
The difference is that there will be nothing of value in Trump’s estate (unless he manages to hang on to any of the art and artifacts he stole while president).

I’m thinking of that final scene in Citzen Kane where the staff dealing with the Kane estate end up burning a lot of the property in an incinerator (or was it a fireplace?) because it has no apparent value. I wonder what Trump’s “Rosebud” is, or if he even ever had any childhood innocence to be reminded of?

Most of the stuff we accumulate during our lives is more or less worthless except if it has any sentimental value to our heirs.
