I enlarged the before and after photos of the Offal Office, to get a better look at the gold eagle emblem displayed against the wall in the lower left-hand corner. Do my eyes deceive me or is that the Nazi Reichsadler?
The WH is America's house. If this is what the Oval Office has been transformed into, I can only imagine what the rest of it looks like. One of the worst things is that Trump has sent the portraits of the Obamas and other Democratic presidents (and first ladies) into storage, and Martin Luther King Jr.'s bust has been banished as well.
No. Adding bling to a neoclassical mantle that already had details does not "enhance" it. It detracts from it, from the POV of any architectural historian. Grah
Fox can't even make him sound like these are sane sensible add-ons regardless of how hard they shove their face into his grundle and hum "God Bless America".
If there's "no paint like gold", how did they pick out all the details in gold? There simply has not been TIME to have actual inlay & goldsmithing craftsmen come in and cast all those fine historical details, particularly in such a way that you could take it back to the original. (Not that Donny Two Scoops balks at yet another lawsuit, of course.)
"There’s a try-hard “fake it until you make it” kind of thing going, clearly."
Ummmmm, hasn't this been the Fulvous Fuckwad's own personal mantra since he was weaned from Roy Cohn's teat, and for the New GOP since he highjacked the party?
I knew in my heart all that glitter was phony. But now that I've seen the actual prices, I cannot stop laughing at the cheapest-ass President we have ever had. BTW: Krylon High-gloss Metallic Gold Leaf Metallic Spray paint ( NET WT. 11.0-oz ) %10.48 a can at Lowes.
Omg can you imagine the "Move that Bus/Armored vehicle/gifted too tacky for Dubai plane ENERGY? I wonder if we all try hard enough we can sync telekinetic powers and start redecorating sooner.

I was with you until you used "outer-borough" as some kind of insult.
Next, he will totally gold leaf the Resolute Desk.
I can’t help it. This reminds me of supervillain Goldmember’s obsession: “GOOOLLLLD!”
“GOOOLLLLD!”
Why did I hear that in Homer Simpson's voice? Homer has never done anything to me.

Sad that we have a crazed and crazy commander in chief that citizens have to placate along with his cast of incompetents running our government.
Ta, Evan. Garbage in, garbage out, garbage everywhere. And yes, I know that's garbage libelz.

Upfist for "open casket whore makeup".
I’d love to see a visitor to the Awful Office walk up to one of those gold tchotchkes and chip the paint off with a fingernail.
Hell. That kind of abuse would gouge out a chunk of plastic/plaster.
