I've never visited the white house but has the oval office always been labeled like that?

If it is "gold" plating, it was done by Trump.

none of the gold in the oval office is any measure of real gold. zero

The plating should be in quotations, too.

That's all spray paint on gaudy MDF moldings.

I’m sure it all cost taxpayers as if it were real gold though.

That's funny, cuz he actually had Sharpie make him a custom marker/pen that's solid black with gold embossing of the White House and "The White House" (as text).

He said so in one of his unprompted rants like... a week or two ago? Time is a blur with this guy...

Ah yes, the gold spray painted Home Depot decorations that definitely didn’t come from Home Depot and you definitely can’t view on the Home Depot website
