Remember when tyrants and warlords had class? Trump has less class than the literal historical Attila the Hun.

When this [toasting] ceremony was over the cup-bearers retired, and tables, large enough for three or four, or even more, to sit at, were placed next the table of Attila, so that each could take of the food on the dishes without leaving his seat. The attendant of Attila first entered with a dish full of meat, and behind him came the other attendants with bread and viands, which they laid on the tables. A luxurious meal, served on silver plate, had been made ready for us and the barbarian guests, but Attila ate nothing but meat on a wooden trencher. In everything else, too, he showed himself temperate; his cup was of wood, while to the guests were given goblets of gold and silver.

Attila gave his guests and followers the best he had. He showered his followers with luxury of every kind imaginable. Imagine walking into a grand banquet hall. You see dozens of barbarian warriors eating off gold and silver plates, drinking from golden cups, decked in fine silks and jewelry of all kinds. At the center of the room sits a lone man, dressed in simple furs, eating off a wooden plate, drinking out of an old wooden cup. That was Atilla.

It's the authoritarian version of penis envy

The Aristocrats?

I am pretty sure it is just shitty craft-store gold paint. My family and I were in DC for a short visit a couple months ago and I could see gold coloring on light fixtures and other places which seemed so out of place, I am certain some boot-licking cretin in the National Parks dept arranged to have it applied to appeal to our Dear Leader. But yeah, I am thinking we will need a giant roll-away dumpster at the White House to handle the clean-up when he is finally gone.

"Restoring Dignity Minute by Minute", just an old man or woman slowly and quietly peeling away gold foil. I'd watch.

Just want point out there's actually been a bunker under the east wing of the white house since at least WW2. The second floor of the old wing was added partly as cover for the expansion of the bunkers under it.

These are the bunkers Trump hid in while protestors were out front of the White House in 2020.

I'd probably do something corny like remodel it to be a free admission museum or something.
