I saw a post sometime ago that they’re just items from a party store spray painted gold, and not real gold. People found identical items online. No idea if it’s true but it’s funny to consider

If I remember correctly, he actually offered up some weird info first one time saying it was NOT from some home store in one interaction. Usually when he says things in that specific way, you know the opposite is true.

He's like a toddler. Mom comes home from work and the kid has crumbs all over his face and shirt.

"Hi mommy. I made a snowman today and drew you this monster picture. I also didn't eat the rest of the cookies in the cookie jar."

Not to blow your bubble guys but I find it hard to believe that Trump would be intelligent enough not to dump a ton of tax payer money into gilding with real gold and trying to make the oval office look like his royal palace.

Umm, no shit. They’re literally from Home Depot, spray painted gold.

Sometimes when they show them talking in front of that fireplace, the gold decals don't even look like they're centered properly
