Huffington Post shows the details in a series of pictures including close-ups of “a TON of … gold squiggly things all over the place.” Hideous. It’s everywhere!
Between golf games, Truth Social, cabinet bootlicking sessions and tariff threats he’s been very busy:
Six months since he moved back into the White House, Trump’s Oval Office is bathed in a sea of gold and gives a glimpse of his maximalist design approach. Gold-colored appliqués on the fireplace, gilded mirrors and ornate Rococo-style 18th and 19th century dessert stands and flower vases from London and France sit on the mantle. The walls are choc-a-block with paintings of former presidents in heavily ornate gold frames. The Cabinet Room has been outfitted with new ceiling medallions and a grandfather clock.
“I picked it all myself,” he said. “I’m very proud of it.”
Meanwhile, Trump has also ripped up the sod in the Rose Garden in favor of a “gorgeous stone” patio − work paid for by the same nonprofit that funded the Washington Monument’s restoration work after a 2011 earthquake − and announced plans to build a ballroom in the White House. He recently erected two 88-foot-tall flagpoles on the south and north lawns of the White House.
He’s personally redoing the whole White House. At the cabinet meeting where he yelled at the reporter for asking about Epstein when there’s so many important things going on he took the time to tell his sycophants all about it:
President Trump played docent-in-chief as he gave an impromptu tour of the paintings and other objects he’s sourced from various locations, including the State Department, to redecorate the Cabinet Room at the White House on July 8.The tour came at the end of an almost two-hour meeting with his cabinet as they sat around an elliptical mahogany table.
Talking about his attempts to redo the meeting room that was first created in 1934 in the West Wing, he pointed to a wall to his left.“It had some pictures. There were not many of them and not very good ones,” he said.
Trump then revealed the primary source of his new additions: The White House Vault.“The vaults are where we have a lot of great pictures and artwork,” he said…
There were two metrics by which he made his final selections — presidents he admired and ones that were in the right-sized and right-looking frames.
“I’m a frame person. Sometimes I like frames more than I like the pictures,” he told his captive audience.“Polk (President James Polk) was actually a very good president who’s got the same frame that I needed,” he said.
I think he would have preferred to have the job of First Lady. He’s redecorating the White House, taking over Lincoln Center and literally put his portrait up in the first ladies gallery:
The most powerful man in the world, ladies and gentlemen …
