In the grand tour of the Oval Office, Donald Trump sounded like a proud homeowner showing off some newly hung wallpaper. He was brimming with patriotism and a touch of flair, all while giving a peek at how he decorated the most famous office in the world. When it came to choosing between George Washington and Ronald Reagan for a place of prominence in the White House, it seemed like America’s Founding Father, Washington, won in a landslide over the Great Communicator. It’s safe to say that Reagan admirers can breathe easy; there’s still plenty of love to go around!
One of the most striking additions to the Oval Office was the Declaration of Independence itself. Hanging proudly like a cherished family heirloom finally rescued from the attic, it captured the essence of America’s spirit. The document was placed on display after being hidden away in the vaults for decades, and Trump was clearly thrilled about it. He couldn’t help but tease the idea that President Joe Biden might not have done the same, wondering aloud if Biden even knew what it was.
Gold accents added a little Trump flair to the room, offering a lavish contrast to the historic simplicity of the office. Trump felt a bit of color – or gold, in this case – was necessary to give the room some life. After all, if Renaissance cherubs can bring good luck, a touch of gold might bring a fortune. And in these times, luck is something Trump’s America could definitely use. The man proudly explained that many have tried and failed to mimic real gold with paint, highlighting the special touch he gave the Oval Office.
But the tour wasn’t just about decorations and drapery; there was also a more profound sense of national pride infused in the little exploration. When it came to discussing the “Gulf of America,” a name brought up by the Trump administration when referring to a space capsule’s landing spot, Trump’s excitement was palpable. He seemed to feel it signified a renewed pride in the country, much more than what was allegedly felt just a year prior.
In the end, the tour offered a glimpse into Trump’s patriotic zeal, with a twist of humor as he navigated both history and décor. Trump wanted Americans to feel proud and realize that good fortune might just be as important as good governance. Whether or not these gold-accented charms will bring America the luck it needs is anyone’s guess, but the attempt certainly made for an intriguing tour!
