all that gold is disgusting in every way possible. that gold/money and the work that was put into putting it there could have help in child cancer research, or helping the poor and less fortunate around the USA and the world. Trump is not what America stands for and him defacing the white house like he is, is prof of that.

I hate to break it to you, but Trump is exactly what America stands for...

Everytime I say that about gaudy old churches I get a very different reaction. Every religion does it but its "art" or "symbolic" so somehow that gets a pass. Fuck opulence in every setting.

Is it solid gold or just gold plated junk?

God, I hope the company that they contracted with lied to them and just used brass or something.
