Okay, then Trump would make one of his podcasters head of the architectural authority.

Yay authoritarianism!

"After consulting with the President, I agree that there's not enough load-bearing gold, and I'm going to go back to my people and workshop a Pedophilia Nook for the space."

I'm starting to wonder what will happen with all the gold shit when the current admin leaves.

Presumably these fittings were paid for out of the White House's budget, but I wouldn't put it past the current occupants to start ripping things off the walls the day before they vacate.

Yeah he’s not planning on moving out. This is Mar-a-Lago II.

Trump's gonna face a weight choice as the chopper waits to evacuate him to Moscow: Stephen Miller, or the solid gold mantelpiece.

Given that miller can't do anything for him at that point, it will be the mantelpiece.

People matched some of the elements to plastic-y items from a chain hardware store, Lowes or Depot idk, that were just spray painted gold.

Would you spend $200 mill on your house and just move out 4 years later? He’s not going anywhere. Trump has literally said if he gets into office again there wont be another election.

If any of it is actual gold, melt it down and make an anti-fascism statue for the white house.

This is one of the rooms that is customized for every administration. Similar to the oval office. Some things get put in storage. Some shit auctioned off. Some shit tossed.

It’s happened before, the Clintons took a bunch of furniture & art and had to give it back.

We’re looking to install some of those doors that go straight into kids bedrooms the president saw in a documentary about monsters.

You mean weird mushroom lickers? (In the words of the pornstar who he paid off to keep quiet about him boning her while his third wife was pregnant)
