All that glitters is Trump gold [1]

Trump has a fascination with gold. It's just got to sparkle. It doesn't have to be real. It can be painted. He'll take it gilded or plated. Trump has filled the Oval Office with it.
Look at the fireplace. There's stuff up on the mantel when Zelenskyy visited, but not on the front of the fireplace.
Then, all of a sudden, these showed up.
Not only that, but you can buy the original polyurethane foam at Alibaba.
Look at what Trump did over one of the doorways. First it was almost blank.
Then it became ornate.
Then, when Bukele visited, there were two more of the Alibaba painted fru-fru's to the sides of the fireplace.
The gold gaudy things on the fireplace mantel changed and changed positions. First, it was high at the ends, low in the middle.
Then, it became low at the ends and high in the middle. Why the change only Trump knows. Gretchen Whitmer hiding
Then, Trump got this FIFA trophy that is one of a kind.
It has moving parts.
Then there was the table stand behind the Resolute Desk with personal pictures, and all the frames are gold.
He has inch high gold drink coasters.
There was a digital artist who did a re-imagining of the Oval Office. Look at the ceiling.
A gold vase with a picture. The books all have gilded titles.
The mockup of the $5 million gold visa card.
A wide shot and you can see all the paintings have gold frames and the mirror on the right wall so Trump can look at himself.
Even the grandfather clock has gold gilt.
This compares the Biden fireplace with Trump's. The ivy that used to be on the mantel has been there in different sizes going back to Jimmy Carter. I checked.
Trump's Oval Office has been taken over by gaudy golden objects and accents. This is just one room. The rest of the White House hasn't had all the pictures taken like the Oval Office, so we don't know much else he has ruined. He wants to pave over Jackie Kennedy's Rose Garden, and build a ballroom somewhere. By the time he's finished, it would look like Trump Gaza.
Someone needs to tell Trump that the White House belongs to us. He is only a temporary occupant.
