Donald Trump, since returning to office, has given the Oval Office a makeover, featuring far more gold accents than is typical for the White House, and much more akin to the decorating tastes of Trump’s casinos and resorts.

A video that surfaced this week showed a new angle of the Trump Oval Office, featuring more gold than what’s normally been seen there:

This week, Barack Obama made fun of his successor’s Oval Office decor, in behind-the-scenes footage from his HBO show with Larry David. Hillary Clinton also recently ripped the makeover, describing it last week as “tackied up,” and compared it to Saddam Hussein’s palaces.

“It’s sad to me — it’s sad that it’s so tackied up, and it’s a reflection of, you know, his narcissistic personality and his need to feel important, including sticking gold embellishments all over the walls of the Oval Office,” Clinton said on Kara Swisher’s podcast this week, as reported by CNN. “This is a man who, his mind apparently goes to, ‘Where can I add more gold?’ instead of, ‘How do I get out of Iran without looking like the loser that I am?’”
Some social media users also had comments on the new picture of the White House decorations. There was everything from fantasies about ripping the gold out once Trump is out of office, to comparisons to the decorative tastes of the late singer Liberace.
