Trump is a classicist. He likes the old school design of architecture and French interiors. And he thinks that formality is more appropriate for the introduction of America to foreign dignitaries. He did some EO saying that new buildings had to go back to classic architecture rather than the modern, and temporary, styles more popular - and cheaper - today. And he’s finding the savings with Doge to be able to afford that more expensive architecture.
I have no problem with Versaille meets America. Bring back Marquis LaFayette.
Hideous.
Hideous. I would not call him a classicist. In matters of taste He’s more of a late era tacky-ist. Versailles is not classic, it’s Baroque, French Baroque to be exact. Nothing out founding fathers loved.
