   Trump is overcompensation incarnate

   There are two features to like about that room. One is the symmetry, which (usually) gives a large room a pleasing aesthetic, although in this case it just doubles the ugly. The other being the view afforded by the picture windows, which at least gives an occupant somewhere to look to relieve the senses.

   All-in-all, and in the spirit of a French artist*, it is a room that is better0 for being inside looking out than being outside looking in.

   *His name escapes me, but it is said that this late 19thC artist dined in the then-new Eiffel Tower’s restaurant every night because, he said, it was the only decent restaurant in Paris that didn’t have a view of M. Eiffel’s monstrosity.

   No one actually lives in a place like that. They reside there, show off there, and brag there. Living is impossible. Give me a comfortable room in earth tones with books on every wall, comfy overstuffed chairs, and reading lamps. A coffee table perhaps, and an old beat up rocker. And, of course, cat hair covering everything.

   Oh, God, he’s off again, this time treating the folk of W. Virginia to his polished rhetoric.

   Speaking about his relationship with Kim, Trump said “We fell in love.” He added “No really. He wrote me beautiful letters. They were great letters. And then we fell in love.” […] “I just left the United Nations, believe me they respect us now again,” said Trump

   On his disgust at Kavanaugh and his supporters’ underhand tactics to get him confirmed;

   They don’t care who they hurt, who they have to run over in order to get power and control and that’s what they want: power and control” said Trump on Saturday night.

   Had you for a second there, didn’t I? That was actually (and predictably) a dig at the Democrats’ ‘plot’ against his rapey frat-boy nominee.

   AoS: I think it is usually attributed to Guy de Maupassant. He certainly campaigned against the tower’s construction.
