Trump remodels Oval Office with 'all gold everything'

By Brooke Seipel - 01/20/17 08:33 PM EST 11comments

The Oval Office was remodeled for President Donald Trump and now features a lot more gold: couches, curtains and a "sunburst" patterned carpet.

The changes were first spotted as Trump signed his first executive orders and memos as president.

"They always change the carpet, he changed the carpet to a new sunburst pattern," CNN anchor Erin Burnett reported. "The curtains were a maroon red, now they're gold. And they're new couches. They are brocade, no longer gray suede."

"It's exactly what you'd expect right?" she later added
Don Lemon described it as "All gold everything."

I'd ask what Gold Toilets are going for these days but the more important question would be how much is the Government paying for Gold Toilet's these days.

That's no gold toilet! They cheaped out on that one. It is only a gold toilet seat and lid.

Not a fan of gold in my house but different strokes for different folks I guess.

Next they will have you believing Trump will sell24K-plated presidential souvenirs or add a 55-foot-tall garden wall........ financed by Mexico.

I'll wait to see more on this beyond the Hill. So, at this point, their story is suspect.

Huffington Post, likely no friend of Trump reports:

Donald Trump Already Redecorated The Oval Office, And Of Course The Curtains Are Gold

And a picture on the page shows the Bush Oval Office with gold curtains too.

The URL does indeed contain the title. "Trump remodels Oval Office with 'all gold everything'.

But the headline on the webpage:
"Trump redecorates Oval Office with gold drapes"

The Hill might have changed the title.

And now, you know the rest of the story.

The Obamas uglied the Oval Office with a plain rug and non-descript upholstery. Very dull. Sounds like the remodel is a reversion to what it looked like earlier, and that's a good thing.

The new rug is either the same or a replica of the one that was in President Reagan's office.

My theory is Trump likes gold around because the reflection makes his hands look bigger...

Better then the last guy who decorated with muslim prayer rugs and Reggie Love posters.

Golden, of course.

Golden showers for the golden boy.

The question is: "What shape is the shower spigot?"

From the photo at this link, looks like they reverted to 2001:

At least the showers will now come from a standing position instead of a squatting one like the last guy.

Finally the White House bidet will return to its intended use.

How eager we seem to be to pass on fake news. We see a scandalous headline and without getting conformation or learning the facts we post it or share it on FB.
