Oh, wait, I get it! The "prayer rugs in the Oval Office" are just more of your "alternative facts," right?

Those gaudy gold curtains on close inspection appear to be the ones used in the Clinton Oval Office. They have a distinctive blue pinstripe detail on the valance. Interesting choice, no?

It did. But they managed. No one pandered to them. No one made it a new Italy or a new Ukraine for them.

Not according to many who seem to be devoted to non-Americans.

The gold Kingston valance and drapes currently gracing the windows of the Trump Oval Office were designed by interior designer Kaki Hockersmith for President Clinton in 1993. Note the distinctive blue detail stripe on the valance. The rug was President Reagan's, installed during his second term and recognizable by the red scalloped-shaped border.

Fun fact: Spanish was the first European language that many western tribes learned way back in the day.

Many members, again in the west, have Spanish last names.

Why is wrong for the president to acknowledge that not all Americans have the same background?

I prefer to think that he is saying "eff you" to the people who are not his base.
