It's as if a flock of golden pigeons...

1. He can't stand to leave any space blank that could be filled with some gold doodad.

In real palaces, though, like Versailles, there was always a design reason for the various gold doodads and filigrees - they were added to embellish or draw attention to a primary feature of some kind. Trump just added those stick-on thingies (which you can buy at a craft shop or Home Depot) because he thinks there should be no blank spaces at all. There's no plausible design reason for that stuff, but he's like the Clampetts were given a bottomless gift certificate for Hobby Lobby to buy fake Baroque decals and plenty of gold spray paint. Dumb bastard doesn't know any better.

2. Bet he wipes his ass with gold colored toilet paper.

[Silent Type]

3. Honest to gawdy, that's cruddy looking.

[Shellback Squid]

4. That's why the considered visit to Fort Knox was in the news

[usonian]

28. Considered? He made firm plans.

Waiting for Pussy Galore to show up.

[multigraincracker]

5. Reverse King Midas

Everything he touches turns into pigeon shat.

[young_at_heart]

6. I have never understood this obsession of his?

It just seems very weird!

[Martin Eden]

38. Gold is a symbol of wealth he has a compulsion to flaunt

If some other dictator displayed more gold, Donnie Boy would desecrate the Oval Office with even more gold. Everything with him is win or lose. He has to have the most, including power.

Of course, he desecrates the Oval Office and the entire White House just by his mere presence.

7. "It's as if a flock of golden pigeons..."

Yet another Trump mess the next president will have to clean up.

[Buddyzbuddy]

8. What a moron.

At least it's better than the crap on his head, but not by much.

[maspaha]

9. The whole d@mn house needs to be cleansed by fire...

…and rebuilt after that piece of sh!+ is gone

There, I said it…and yes, I do eat with this filthy mouth

[Cha]

10. LOL... I call it the

Gold House... it's not our WH anymore.. for now.

TY & George Conway!

[Cirsium]

20. The Pyrite House

Fool's gold

[Cha]

23. Yes, Even Better.. TY. Going to

add that .. it's perfect!

I grew up in Colorado and used to collect all kinds of minerals including Pyrite... didn't know it was called that then.

[ms liberty]

36. Instead try this: the Pyrite Palace

The alliteration will help it stick.

[DET]

11. Good Lord

I hadn’t seen it in its full glory before. He’s even got a friggin cherub in there. Unbelievably tacky.

[electric_blue68]

16. Is That what that is in the triangle above the door?....

It's a bit blurry, so I wasn't sure. Blah.
The whole thing is just awful, soooo guady! 😑

[DET]

19. I Think So

It is blurry, but it looks like a cherub. Dictator chic demands a cherub somewhere.

[electric_blue68]

26. I guess so. 😄 👋

[sammythecat]

12. A perfect example of the word vulgar. n/t

[StarryNite]

13. Tacky as hell.

[ReRe]

14. I wager the whole room will be painted gold IF he lives out his term.

They are letting him do whatever he wants because I think they know he won't.
It is so disgraceful for him to have done what he has to The Oval Office.

[Dem2theMax]

15. It gets worse every time I see it!

It's so freaking vulgar, I have to laugh. Wonder what heads of state think when they are in that room?
Probably 'get me the hell out of here!'

[Seinan Sensei]

17. Next: Velvet Elvis

[Lifeafter70]

27. Nope it will be a velvet trump

With Jesus hand on his shoulder.

[byronius]

18. Golden Gag Destructor Decor.

Bleah.

[Figarosmom]

21. It's really bad....and he's proud of it...nt

[Rhiannon12866]

22. This is "The People's House," not his own, and he's damaging it beyond recognition

Not only the gold on every wall, but paving over Jackie Kennedy's beloved Rose Garden, and now he has plans to extend the "People's House" with a gaudy ballroom?! The White House has a powerful history, but like anything he touches, he has no respect.

[Cha]

24. When We get the next Democratic Real

President in.. Our House Will have To Be..

EXORCISED! : 💙

[Rhiannon12866]

25. If that's allowed to happen - TFG has staked his claim on "The People's House" and treats it like his own

He tried to prevent the Bidens from entering The White House in 2021 by dismissing the butler who needed to let them in. What are his plans this time??

[Pachamama]

29. No plans to leave - bet he is constructing a Mausoleum directly in the center of the Ballroom where he will be enshrined

In gold with his orange glow emanating from the glass viewing of his preserved corpse in a golden robe and bejeweled along with his crown and the faux Trump Family crest.

[Rhiannon12866]

31. Reminds me of when I visited the USSR in the late '80s with my grandmother and her peace group

When we had the rare opportunity to view the preserved body of Vladimir Lenin (who died in 1924) lying in state in a mausoleum on one side of the Kremlin.

[Pachamama]

34. Exactly!

I saw this too! Exactly something like this but with the obscene vulgar Trump touches added!

[Rhiannon12866]

35. Well, Lenin's Tomb is heavily guarded, no one is allowed in carrying anything or wearing a long coat

Apparently someone tried to shoot him ages ago, so now they take precautions!

But, at least when I was there, there was a never-ending line to get in. I can't imagine that anyone would stand in line to see a mummified TFG, except maybe to be sure he was really dead.

[Cha]

30. Yes, I know... I choose to

think Positive.. it works better for me. 💙

[John1956PA]

32. The proposed ballroom would obstruct southern sunlight from entering the East Room.

The East Room is a hollowed area. It is where JFK's body lay the night of November 22-23, 1963.

[Rhiannon12866]

33. Excellent point! And TFG should remember that...

But then we know he seldom voted or paid any attention to anything that didn't affect himself.

[marble falls]

37. Looks just like a Pier 1 display.
