They're not going to use real gold lol. It's going to be Temu and Alibaba discount stuff painted gold. They'll pocket the rest of the money. Trump decorates like those guys capitalists installed in post-soviet countries. Everything is faux finishes to keep costs low so they can charge more in labor. Labor is easier to account for as there's no objective cost. You can charge anything for labor. This is what lets them legally keep extra money.
I wonder what Trump charged for that single thing + labor. Maybe $10,000? And it would be pretty funny if it's not even mounted properly so during a photo op - it just falls off.
They probably billed hundreds of thousands if not millions for renovations over the past 7 months. They put these foam things all over the place. The whole thing is going to look like a cheap palace by 2028.
Ahem. GOLD-PLATED CHEAP PALACE
Oh my god, he does. I thought I hated this design style because it's often applied on top of old Soviet stuff and so it's wrecking a style I do like, nope, turns out it's just tacky regardless.
