The images document an abundance of ‘gold effects’: taps, handles, coat hangers, lamps. Everything is ‘gold’.
Donald Trump interior designer version. The president of the United States redoes a bathroom in the White House and, on his Truth profile, publishes dozens of photos to document the renovation. “I renovated the Lincoln bathroom at the White House. It had been renovated in the 1940s in an Art Deco style with green tile, completely inappropriate for Lincoln’s time,” the president wrote in the post. “I made it out of black and white polished statuary marble. It was very appropriate for Abraham Lincoln’s era and, in fact, it might be the same original marble!” Trump adds. The images document an abundance of ‘gold effects’: taps, handles, coat hangers, lamps. Everything is ‘gold’.
The intervention comes at a particular time in terms of renovations. At the White House, work is underway on the construction of the ballroom which will be built in the East Wing area, which will be demolished to make room for the new structure. The works are at the center of controversy both for the process and for the overall impact on the building. Trump reiterated that the approximately $300 million work will not be paid for by taxpayers. The room will be built thanks to donations. In recent weeks, the administration has defended the restructuring, highlighting that significant work has been carried out several times in the past at the behest of various presidents.
