We rejected the trappings of a monarchy. We rejected the gold leaf of the monarchy.\u201d<\/p>\n<div>\n<p>But Trump, 80, has transformed the People\u2019s House into something that would\u2019ve made Great Britain\u2019s King George III and France\u2019s King Louis XIV\u2014known as the \u201cSun King\u201d\u2014feel right at home. The president has stuffed the Oval Office with gilded decor, razed the historic East Wing overnight to make way for his massive $400 million ballroom, and last month erected a cage-fight arena on the South Lawn for his birthday.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s not real, and it\u2019s not authentic. It\u2019s not American any longer,\u201d Tur told host Joanna Coles. \u201cWe are not a country of gaudy decorations. We\u2019re not a country of gold leaf.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The White House did not immediately respond to a request for comment. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe are a country of like, down-home, homespun, pick yourself up from your bootstraps&#8230; grit and determination,\u201d she continued. \u201cThat\u2019s who we are as a country. That\u2019s what we started out as. And he\u2019s trying to change it unilaterally.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Tur, who began covering Trump on the campaign trail in 2015, added that the president is \u201cso enamored with the pomp and circumstance of royalty and of dictatorships that he is&#8230; trying to literally glue it onto the White House piece by piece.\u201d <\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n<p>In their new book <i>Regime Change<\/i>, New York Times reporters Maggie Haberman and Jonathan Swan revealed that Trump personally affixed some of the gold adornments to the walls of the Oval Office with a bottle of superglue. <\/p>\n<p>Trump also boasted to the authors that he wields more power than some of history\u2019s most bloodthirsty tyrants, naming Attila the Hun, Genghis Khan, Napoleon, Stalin, Mao, and Hitler, among others.<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/nationwideinterstatemovers.com\/?p=2700\">Trump Gets Brutal Reality Check With Jobs Slowdown<\/a><\/p>\n<p>The president has never made a secret of his fondness for monarchies. Before visiting the Palace of Versailles in France last month, he gushed, \u201cVersailles is not a gold leaf. Versailles is the real deal.\u201d Trump has said he modeled his Mar-a-Lago golf club after the palace, which is filled with more than 1,000 kilograms of 22-carat gold and was built primarily by King Louis XIV. <\/p>\n<p>Tur said that there is \u201ca brazenness\u201d to the way Trump goes about his vanity projects that unsettles Americans, noting that the president tore down the East Wing without telling the American public and despite previously saying he would leave it untouched: \u201cSuddenly, it was gone.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhile Americans might not be able to pinpoint exactly why they feel uncomfortable with it, they do feel uncomfortable with looking at how he\u2019s physically changed the White House, physically trying to change Washington,\u201d she said. <\/p>\n<p>But she argued the American public is \u201cpushing back,\u201d pointing to a string of Republican losses in special elections and pushback from courts, like when Trump\u2019s name was removed from the Kennedy Center after a federal judge ruled that he needed congressional authorization. <\/p>\n<div>\n<div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>\u201cThe reaction to Donald Trump has not been muted,\u201d she said. \u201cAnd so if I am feeling hopeful about this democracy and hopeful about what will happen to us afterwards\u2014and there\u2019s a whole lot of reasons not to be hopeful\u2014I look to all of the ways in which the system, even under all of this stress, is continuing to hold.\u201d<\/p>\n<div>\n<p><i><b>New episodes of The Daily Beast Podcast are released every Monday, Wednesday, Friday, and Sunday on <\/b><\/i><i><b>YouTube<\/b><\/i><i><b>, and on <\/b><\/i><i><b>other podcast platforms<\/b><\/i><i><b> the next morning.
