Beauty is in the eye of the beholder but to me what I see of the oval office looks like a gilded cage for some bird, maybe a turkey, and I doubt I will get an invite to reconsider my view.
As President Trump says “Some of the highest quality 24 Karat Gold used in the Oval Office...”, but 24 Karat is a specific measure of gold purity between 99.9% to 100%.
President Trump has stated “I know words. I have the best words.” but maybe it’s time to get that dictionary out and look up “gaudy”. Will this be a golden Presidency? Something for the reader to decide on in time.
