Unable to resist yet another lavish gesture, US President Donald Trump ordered the Oval Office to be outfitted with decor fashioned from 999-fine gold. True to his style, he announced on Truth Social that the highest-quality 24-karat gold now adorns both the Oval Office and the White House Cabinet Room.
According to Trump himself, this is “the best Oval Office in history” in terms of success and visible grandeur—so much so that other world leaders “are losing their minds” at the sight of such luxury. It must be acknowledged that few can display a sense of power as dramatically as he does.
Recalling that, in his view, the White House’s previous interior did not match its stature, Trump took pleasure in transplanting some elements from his Mar-a-Lago estate, proving that gold is the ultimate finishing touch for those who want not just to govern a country, but to dazzle it.
Clearly, in the world of politics, “gold accents” are not only about style but also about symbolizing power and wealth. Details such as administration policy and substance become secondary—the main thing is that everything shines brilliantly.
