‘He’s a Maximalist’: Inside Trump’s Gilded Oval Office
Take a 3-D tour of the president’s office, where he covered a third of the wall space with gold.
I'm hoping the link works even if you don't subscribe to the NYT. It's a panoramic video of the grotesquely, golden adorned Oval Office. If it doesn't this one should.
Yet another part of the WH and it's history trump has no respect for, along with the East Wing.
I've seen still pictures of the room but you can't fully appreciate the manner in which Don has tried to make it in to the Palace at Versailles until you've seen the video.
I see it as a lurid, physical manifestation of there being no check on his impulse to use the power bestowed on him to achieve his own ends. As is the case with the vindictive prosecutions of Comey and James, illegally sending troops in to US cities under false pretenses, denying due process to deportees, and so on.
The thing that gave trump the margin of victory over Harris was voter frustration with inflation. On top of getting none of the promised relief they got more than they bargained for. And not in a good way.
