It’s Amazing How Similar Donald Trump And Saddam Hussein’s Homes Are

Sometimes it's a good thing when your taste in property is compared to other world leaders. Then again, sometimes it's not.

We might hate on Trump, and goodness does he make it easy, but we’re willing to admit he’s a better bloke than old Saddam.

Of course that’s not saying much, and this time around it’s Vanity Fair who are doing the real name-calling.

This is their introduction to a photo piece titled ‘Donald Trump’s Mansions and Saddam Hussein’s Palaces are Basically the Same’:

We couldn’t help but notice a striking similarity in the decorating palate of two demagogues: Donald Trump, the putative Republican nominee for President of the United States, and the late Saddam Hussein…

In each of the images below Trump’s properties are on top, with Saddam’s directly underneath:

Personally I think they’re reaching big time, but poking fun at the Orange Menace is always welcome in my books.
