51. A funny bit as he showed off his new decor to Laura Ingraham...

The famed office of the president is now — not unlike Mar-a-Lago — filled with gold, literally from floor to ceiling. There’s an overstuffed gallery wall (each portrait with a gilded frame), a pair of loud side tables featuring gold eagles as the base, and gold decals on the moulding and fireplace.

In an interview with Laura Ingraham last month, he bragged about his cluttered walls. “It’s much different, never been like that,” he told her. “You had some of those paintings in vaults and safes for 100 years!”

He also proudly discussed all his gold with Ingraham, telling her “a little secret”: “You’ve never been able to match gold with gold paint,” he said, “That’s why it’s gold.”
