What a Trump White House Actually Looks Like

His 2009 renovation of Lowes Island Club, now Trump National Golf Club, shows us what to really expect from a Trump White House.

What a Trump White House Actually Looks Like

While Donald Trump's charge towards the presidency is (fortunately) losing steam, many still wonder and worry about what a Trump presidency might look like. I have perhaps more inside information than some on this topic, since Donald Trump purchased and gutted the Lowes Island Club -- now Trump National Golf Club, Washington D.C. -- in 2009 when my family held a membership there. While his choices of course illustrated his poor taste, a few changes in particular might give us a hint of what a Trump White House would look like...

1. He Built a W(ater F)all


Before:

After:

Since The White House is already white, he'll have no problem with the exterior color choice. Something tells me his administration might take whitewashing a bit further than house color...

3. And Gold

Swim Team:


The caps were so gold that they burned in the heat. Maybe I should've worn a red "Make America Great Again" hat instead.



Interior:

the wealthy even wealthier. That said, I doubt his flare for the expensive will help him cut government spending.

4. He Puts Pictures of Himself in the Women's Locker Room

My mom took these photos after Trump renovated the locker room because she couldn't believe he would hang pictures of himself in the women's changing area.


But hey, they make for great locker room talk, right?

5. He Fires People

According to the highly reliable tennis mom gossip, Trump fired most of the club's kitchen and dining room staff when the frozen yogurt machine broke at the Fourth of July Party. Not an overreaction at all. His temperament is obviously as cool as froyo.

6. He Keeps Out Foreign Competition

With products like Trump Mints, Trump Golf Tees, and of course Trump Ice, The Donald prevents outside companies from profiting off his club members so he can profit off them all by himself.

7. He Actually Made the Food Better

While I am not a fan of his gaudy taste and felt unnerved by constant appearance of his visage when I changed clothes, Donald Trump did a really good job fixing the food. So if this presidential election was actually a contest for who would cater my wedding, I'd vote Trump.

But, alas, that's not what this election is about, and since Donald Trump is an inexperienced politician with a deplorable character, I'll leave him to making ice water with his face on it.

AI music threatens creativity

The Soul of Sound: How AI Challenges Human Expression in Music

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
