Inside Trump’s Gilded Oval Office

New York Times: “It’s not unusual for presidents to decorate the space to their own tastes. They often choose art or items meant to evoke meaning and a historical connection to past political eras.”

“But in his second term, Mr. Trump has placed a connection to his lavish decorating style above all else. His tastes veer toward the gilded, triumphal style of Louis XIV, a theme that shows up in his own properties.”

“About a third of the walls are now covered in gold — appliqués, frames or other decorations.”
