In a bold move to “restore dignity” to the White House, President Donald J. Trump has reportedly completed a months-long renovation of the Oval Office—covering nearly every surface in pure, glistening gold.
“This is how a real president works,” Trump told reporters, adjusting a pair of mirrored aviators to shield himself from the glare bouncing off the golden Resolute Desk. “No other president has ever had the courage, the vision, or the taste to make the people’s house truly great—truly shiny—again.”
According to White House insiders, the makeover includes:
-
Solid gold desk – Reinforced to withstand “fake news attacks” and occasional Big Mac spills.
-
Gold-leaf walls – Said to “reflect the glory of American greatness” and also, reportedly, Trump’s hairline at a perfect angle.
-
Gold-plated phone – Directly connected to Fox News, Mar-a-Lago, and an emergency spray tan technician.
-
New carpet – Spun from golden thread by “the finest people,” although Melania allegedly complained it “feels like walking on an expensive waffle.”
The redesign was inspired, Trump explained, by “ancient kings, Roman emperors, and successful Vegas casino owners—basically all the great leaders of history.” He added that the gold décor was “not about showing off,” but about “sending a message to America’s enemies that we are too rich to fail, too gold to be sold.”
Critics have blasted the remodel as “wasteful,” “egotistical,” and “blinding under fluorescent lights.” Senate Democrats have already proposed a “Shade the Oval Office” bill to protect visiting diplomats from retinal damage.
Still, Trump remains defiant. “People walk in here now and they know they’re in the presence of history,” he said. “And also, let’s be honest, they know they’re in the presence of the most luxurious, fabulous, goldiest president ever. Lincoln didn’t have this. Washington didn’t have this. But Trump does.”
The president then offered a guided tour of the new Golden Executive Bathroom, complete with a bidet “that plays the national anthem in gold-tone trumpet” and a toilet seat “blessed by the Pope, probably.”
When asked about the project’s cost, Trump brushed it off. “We’ll pay for it with tariffs,” he said, “and Mexico will reimburse us in gold.”
