He even ordered his and Vice President JD Vance’s portraits to be reprinted with a gold border as a result of he needed the photographs to “catch the light,” the WSJ reported.

“It’s the Golden Office for the Golden Age,” White Home press secretary Karoline Leavitt instructed the WSJ.


White Home? Extra like Gold Home now.

The Wall Road Journal reported that Trump additionally needs so as to add a ballroom to the White Home complicated the place he can maintain occasions, like he does at his Florida membership, the place friends pay silly quantities of cash for the prospect to heap reward on the egomaniacal chief.

Trump apparently needs to recreate that on the White Home.

The ballroom addition is a challenge Trump has needed to do since 2016, when he reportedly spoke to the Obama White Home and provided to construct the $100 million challenge—despite the fact that Trump is infamous for not paying his payments and stiffing employees. Throughout his campaigns he even stiffed localities, refusing to pay tons of of 1000’s in charges for the general public security offered for his ego-stroking rallies.

The Obama administration laughed off Trump’s provide.

Trump’s cheesy ballroom could be along with his plan to pave over the Rose Backyard, the gorgeous inexperienced house exterior the White Home the place presidents maintain occasions and press conferences.
