Trump, who is holding a series of one-on-one meetings with foreign leaders on the summit\u2019s sidelines as he works toward an Iran war deal, was asked about the Versailles invitation and did not hold back.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m a fan of beautiful places,\u201d he said on Tuesday. \u201cAnd I was leaving in the afternoon, and then the French president, who happens to be a very nice man, invited me to dinner at Versailles. And Versailles is not a gold leaf. Versailles is the real deal. And I said, I\u2019d like to do it.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He added, for reassurance, \u201cAll it means is that I get home later in the evening, meaning early in the morning, and I\u2019m not a big sleeper anyway. I\u2019ll be in the Oval Office very&#8230; I won\u2019t, I won\u2019t lose any time in the Oval Office.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The comment about \u201cgold leaf\u201d versus the \u201creal deal\u201d was telling. Since January 2025, Trump has been methodically transforming the Oval Office into what critics have called a gilded fever dream\u2014adding gold-plated moldings, frames, mirrors, cherubs, eagles, coasters, and ornamental designs to its doors, bookcases, and fireplace. <\/p>\n<p>The makeover was carried out largely by Trump\u2019s personal \u201cgold guy,\u201d a Florida-based decorator named John Icart, who did similar work at Trump\u2019s Mar-a-Lago estate and was flown to Washington on Air Force One to handle the job.<\/p>\n<p>Trump told Fox News last year that the Oval Office \u201cneeded a little life,\u201d and that he opted for gold because of its spiritual associations. \u201cThey say angels bring good luck,\u201d he said. \u201cAnd we need a lot of luck in this country with what they have done over the last four years.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/nationwideinterstatemovers.com\/?p=1567\">Trump Gets Grim Reality Check for America 250<\/a><\/p>\n<p>The gold has kept coming. Apple CEO Tim Cook and FIFA president Gianni Infantino have both presented Trump with golden gifts, which now sit in the Oval. During King Charles\u2019 state visit in April, the British ambassador gave Trump a large gold-framed coin to mark the 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence. The king himself gave the president a gilded bell from a submarine named the HMS Trump.<\/p>\n<p>The renovation has expanded outward. Golden signage and embellishments now line the corridor outside the Oval Office. Renderings of Trump\u2019s planned $400 million East Wing ballroom show golden chandeliers throughout. His triumphal arch, designed to mark the nation\u2019s 250th anniversary, features gold accents, two golden eagles, and a gold-leafed winged Lady Liberty.<\/p>\n<p>While he waits for those projects to be completed, Trump has a 15-foot bronze statue of himself\u2014coated in gold leaf\u2014on display at his National Doral Miami golf club, unveiled ahead of the PGA Tour\u2019s Cadillac Championship in April.<\/p>\n<p>Not everyone is charmed by the accumulation. Richard Painter, who served as chief ethics lawyer under President George W. Bush, told the Daily Beast that a gold Rolex desk clock and a one-kilogram gold bar given to Trump by a Swiss business consortium just one week before he cut tariffs for Switzerland should trigger a congressional investigation.<\/p>\n<div>\n<p>\u201cIt just gives the appearance of a bribe,\u201d Painter said. \u201cI\u2019m not saying it is a bribe\u2026 but to avoid the appearance of bribery and corruption, presidents almost always refuse gifts.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/nationwideinterstatemovers.com\/?p=1565\">Workers Frantically Chuck Household Bleach at Trump\u2019s Botched Vanity Project<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>President Donald Trump has openly thirsted for a \u201creal\u201d golden palace.
