The White House is undergoing the transformation of the most "rich" in history! A administration official revealed that the White House requested a golden border to the portrait of President Trump and Vice President J.D. Vance to make it shine even more in the light. This requires the use of metallic golden ink and dedicated printing equipment, resulting in the delay in delivery of some of the portraits originally printed with white borders. This is a formal request from the White House, according to an internal government document.

Less than three months after taking office, Trump not only challenged the global order and subverted Washington, but in his spare time, he also transformed into the White House's "art director", adding golden decorations to almost every corner.

In recent weeks, Trump has turned part of the White House into the magnificent "Malaise 2.0". That said, the White House is now becoming more and more like his Florida private club. To assist in the White House renovation project,Trump also invited a person known as the "President's Golden Man".

According to White House officials, the South Florida craftsman John Icart, known as the "Golden Man", was involved in the renovation project of Mar-Lago and is now responsible for customizing golden carvings for the Oval Office, including gold-plated decorations on the mantel and ceiling lines surrounding the entire office. Officials said Icart traveled to Washington with Trump on Air Force One.

White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt described in the email:

“This is the golden office for the Golden Age.”

Those who visited Mar-Lago said the White House’s golden decorations are quite familiar. Almost every ceiling, wall, photo frame and desk in Mar-a-Lago Manor is covered with gold. Its original designer, Joseph Urban, was originally an opera set designer, inspired by the royal palaces in Europe.

Government officials saidTrump personally oversees the installation of golden carvings on the Oval Office fireplace, and also moves golden statues of little angels from Mar-a-Lago to place them in the White House.

Resolute Desk is one of the most famous desks in the US Presidential Office (Oval Office), next to it is now placed a huge golden FIFA World Cup trophy. The mantel is decorated with seven golden vases and urns. During the Biden administration and the first Trump administration, plants were placed on the mantel.

A visitor said Trump also hung a golden Trump badge on the door leading from the colonnade to the White House. There were also golden coasters with his name printed on the side table. Golden details can be seen even on the dining table in the private dining room right next to the Oval Office.

White House officials said the president also invited experts to evaluate whether chandeliers can be installed in the Oval Office, but the plan has not been advanced due to the limited load bearing of the ceiling structure. However, a senior official said the project could continue elsewhere.

Trump's love for gold has a long history. His three-story apartment on the top floor of Trump Tower in New York has long been a regular customer of magazine covers, and almost the entire space is decorated in gold. "Many people are trying to make a paint that looks like gold, but no one can do it." Trump pointed to the golden decorations in the Oval Office in March and said:

"You can never copy gold with paint. So you have to use real gold."

Kate Andersen Brower, author of "The Insider of the White House", said that all previous presidents will inject some personal style into the White House. "To change the decoration of the White House's state level, it must be approved by the White House's cultural relics director - he regards the White House as a museum." She wrote in an email: "After all, the White House is the house of the people and does not belong to any president." Some officials said that the director's opinion had been sought.

The White House Historical Association, a private nonprofit organization that has been involved in funding several White House restoration projects, declined to comment.

Trump's obsession with gold is well known, so foreign politicians have also given golden gifts. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu once presented him with a golden pager to "pay tribute" to Israel's electronic device attack on Hezbollah last year. Netanyahu allegedly later praised others for how much Trump liked the pager. Japanese Prime Minister Shigeru Ishiba gave Trump a golden samurai helmet when he visited in February.
