Gwyneth Paltrow thinks a Trump presidency could be kind of fun
Providing the sort of perspective that only a woman who freely admits to having a €6,000 bathtub in her bedroom can have, Gwyneth Paltrow has gone on the record as saying she thinks a Trump presidency could be kind of fun. (You know, like making your own soy milk, or joyriding through the streets of Manhattan slaughtering homeless people for sport.) Paltrow—a proponent of the KonMari method of organization, which compels its followers to only hang on to objects that “spark joy”—seems to think that American civil life has simply become too cluttered with rights and respect for our fellow human beings, and it’s time to winnow it down to its core essence of catering exclusively to rich white people.
“It’s such an exciting time to be an American because we are at this amazing inflection point,” Paltrow said at a conference sponsored by Airbnb—itself a symbol of the economic insecurity that compels people to open up their homes to strangers in order to pay their rent—this past weekend. “People are clearly tired of the status quo, and…it’s sort of like something threw it all in the air and we’re going to see how it all lands.”
