Donald Trump has found a new way to make the Oval Office shine. Literally. He is proudly telling the world that the room is now filled with 24 karat gold.
Trump called it a “24 karat gold revamp” of the Oval Office and the Cabinet Room. He said foreign leaders “freak out” when they see it and claimed it is the “best Oval Office ever in terms of success and look.”
On his Truth Social account, Trump bragged,
The makeover includes gold trimmings on the fireplace and walls, gold figurines on the mantel, gold eagles on side tables, and even gold coasters with his name on them. A Florida cabinetmaker known as Trump’s “gold guy” reportedly flew in on Air Force One to bring Trump’s Mar a Lago style to Washington.

But the shine quickly lost its magic online. Many people said Trump should be focused on fixing the economy, tackling the national debt, and helping families who are barely getting by.
They pointed out that grocery and gas prices keep climbing and farmers are struggling, yet the president is busy bragging about gold trim in the Oval Office.
Some called the spending wasteful and said it shows how out of touch he is. A few even went so far as to call him the worst Oval Office occupant in history.
We are $40 trillion dollars in debt.

How are his maga base not furious at him for this kind of BS? He’s boasting over gaudy decorations & a ballroom no one ever asked for while gas & groceries go up, farmers are going under, we turn on our allies but bail out Argentina?

Forty. Trillion. Dollars. That’s not debt, that’s generational slavery signed in ink by politicians who couldn’t balance a lemonade stand. Every kid born in America today shows up already carrying a boulder of IOUs on their back, thanks to decades of “leaders” buying votes with…

I thought the White House wasn’t supposed to resemble a royal palace or dictator’s kremlin?

When they say “wasteful spending” they mean spending on Democratic priorities like healthcare, safety net for the poor and underprivileged, gun violence prevention, etc.
RW spending priorities like tax cuts, WH renovations, mass deportations, etc are ok.

At least we know where Trump’s priorities are – with himself and his predilection for gaudy tackiness at the expense of everyone who isn’t him or a member of his family.

He cut healthcare for 15 million Americans because it was “wasteful spending.” https://t.co/h8C9kEVMP1
