| Yeah, I know. Anonymous sources! FAKE NEWS! Hopefully the president knows better than to tell anyone that the countrys most storied home, where Lincoln managed the Civil War and FDR oversaw Hitlers downfall, is a dump. Remember, though, the guys a billionaire who used to live in a Manhattan penthouse; his standard of living is higher than most new presidents. And if Golf Magazine is to believed, he made this comment to members at one of his clubs i.e. other very wealthy people. When youre that rich and talking to a bunch of millionaires, you practically have to call the White House a dump compared to what youre used to, just to keep up appearances.
Plus, dont forget: The White House is government housing built on a swamp. Its a dump practically by definition.
I bet the White House doesnt even have a classy gold-plated toilet, like certain unnamed hyper-gilded New York towers undoubtedly do. Needless to say, if Obama was alleged to have made this comment even by anonymous sources we in conservative media would have spent this week shattin in our pantaloons, to borrow a phrase from the future senator from Michigan. As it is, itll be fun if Trump lets the story linger for 24 hours and then confirms it, just to watch the spin shift from hed never say something like this to of course its a dump. A key part of the debate to come:
Its a dump, and I think we all know whos to blame. Thatll be another key part of the debate. Exit question: Why didnt he keep Scaramooch around to class the joint up a bit, fancy-like, with renovations? Hes a fabulously rich Manhattanite too. He would have known how to realize a tasteful Louis XIV by way of Saddam look. |
Trump allegedly told golf-club members: "That White House is a real dump"

I just thought it was hilarious.
And Trump probably does think it's a dump, compared to his usual hangouts.
He has tried to say nice things about the WH, some months back, saying how so many things in the WH were unique historical items and that it couldn't be compared to any other piece of real estate.
And we shouldn't forget that for much of its existence, the WH has been kind of a dump. Hell, Abe Lincoln kept chickens and barnyard animals there, some inside the house.

It is pretty droll.
Why the hell does Trump have that stand full of Keurig coffee pods always on the desk behind his office? And I've never yet seen any of them missing, like no one ever drinks any of them. And I don't see the Keurig machine itself and looked for it during the great MLK-bust-is-missing scandal when Trump first moved in.
I'm starting to think Trump bought a bunch of Keurig stock and he's trying to pump up the price.

Well gee, what would you expect after Obutthole & Mooch the Wookie occupying the place for 8 years. Probably has chicken bones, empty Popeyes boxes, empty MD 20/20 bottles, Colt 45 bottles and do it yourself voodoo kits all over the place. I bet every wall has Zebra shields, and short spears. Probably in the backyard, there is a place to ritual behead honkies.

And where the hell is the actual Keurig coffee maker? Where are the cups? Does Trump hand these pods out as Attaboy awards to the staff and then they go somewhere else to find a cup and to put the pod in a Keurig machine?
I know it's petty but this has actually been bugging me for months. LOL

Millennials are into Keurig. So maybe it's an appeal to them. Look for Trump to be playing with a fidget spinner at future cabinet meetings.

Simple. The machine and cups are on the other side of the room. But if you want want want a cup of covfefe, you have to get past Trump to get the pod.
"For that matter, why don't we ever see even one pod missing from the pod stand?"
No one has succeeded.

But during the great scandal of The Missing MLK Bust (which was there all along but a Secret Service guy was standing in front of it when the press was there and the black reporter started bitching that Churchill was back but MLK was missing), we saw video of the room. And no Keurig was visible.
I've wondered if Trump may have hidden a Keurig in a side door of the Reagan desk.
Everyone always puts the pods next to the machine. Except in the Oval Office, it seems.

However, looking at the above photo of Trump standing by his Oval Office pods, the lids of the pods are the wrong color for Trump Select pods (red, black, blue, light beige). So I don't think that Donald put Trump Select pods into the pod stand behind his desk. Something about the labels looks like Starbucks or Keurig pods.
Before anyone orders a bunch of the linked Trump pods, keep in mind these were made for the original Keurig v1.0 machines. They should also work with cloned Keurig v1.0 machines from various makers. All the Keurigs on the market now are the v2.0 machines. So people complain these aren't good pods but it is because they are using the newer machines with these pods designed for the older Keurig brewers.

The explanation could be as simple as the Keurig salesman stopped by the Oval Office and forgot his samples.

You have to admit, if the salesman made it to the Oval Office that's one hell of a salesman. So, yes.
"Was this salesman's name Boris or Vlad by any chance?"
Monica. And she's been there before.

Are those more pods on the desk, in front of that second phone?
I'm beginning to think that he has some sort of Keurig fetish.

Woh. Not the first time your search skills have impressed me. You are really good at finding the perfect pic.
Yes, those are pods. It appears to be six pods sitting on the desk in front of the phone on Trump's far left. Of those six pods, I think there are two that have a dark solid blue top on them which could mean that they are the Trump brand pods (Trump Select's Skyscraper flavor). But notice this: the Keurig pod stand on the table behind Trump looks to be entirely full. So where did they get those other six Keurig pods? Does Trump also have yet another secret stash of Keurig pods hidden inside his desk?
AND WHERE IS THAT DAMNED KEURIG MACHINE?!?!?!?
It's driving me crazy.

That desk is the historic Resolute desk. FDR used it but not in the Oval office. JFK put it in the Oval Office first. It was gone during LBJ and Nixon and Ford but "President Jimmy Carter brought the desk back to the Oval Office in 1977, where Presidents Ronald Reagan, Bill Clinton, George W. Bush, Barack Obama, and Donald Trump have used it. George H. W. Bush used the C&O desk in the Oval Office, but kept the Resolute desk in the White House."
Surely the Resolute has too much dignity to be used as Trump's coffee pod stash.

No, I think they are military 'coins.' Every commander from Battalion level on up in the Army (other services do it too) has a unit coin. Usually exchanged with other units, given as an 'atta boy' or earned by a new member of a unit by going through some 'right of passage' (First Cav we have the Spur ride).
In Korea it was ridiculous. Getting coins made was so dirt cheap, every Company level (and even some platoon level) commanders were getting them made. Yes I had some as a Battery commander as I inherited 100 from the outgoing commander.
The tradition is called 'coining' someone. You brief a General officer, he likes how you presented yourself, he digs in the Aide-de-camp bag and he 'coins you.'
If an officer sees a Soldier do something great, instead of waiting for weeks to process an award, you coin him and he can cash that in for a 4 day pass. That is how I did it as many Soldiers were not into collecting coins. If I gave them one, they could keep it or cash it in for something they liked and there is nothing like time off.
So I think those are coins. Different officers visit the President and 'coin him' hoping to get a MAGA hat. LOL.
