#137 There’s a reason they call it the dismal science.

We here at ConstiToonies HQ tend to gasp in horror at pictures of the Trump Oval Office, AKA the Gilded Palace of Sin Splendor. All that glittering gold reminds us of the glass cabinet with the third-place Student Congress trophies at our local all-boys Catholic high school. And who better than Trump, notoriously paving over the lawn in the Rose Garden even as we type, to design a $200 million rec room addition to pep up the otherwise too staid “People’s House.” “I'm good at building things,” the man of wealth and taste is quoted as saying, “and we’re going to build quickly and on time. It’ll be beautiful, top, top of the line.” One might be inclined to doubt this and to worry that the White House will soon become the White Elephant, but according to White House chief of staff Susie Wiles, “President Trump is a builder at heart and has an extraordinary eye for detail.” Whew. We can breathe easier now.
