Hid it away in secret vaults and then used Home Depot paint to fake out everyone.
This is how his mind works.

Never forget: Trump is a pathological liar. He'll lie about time of day just for the fun of it. But as vile as Trump is, those who persist in supporting him will still be here when he's gone.Therein lies the REAL poison.

But it MUST go.
After seeing how ridiculously large and tall the "ballroom" is going to be--clearly overwhelming the White House, I have no desire to ever see it again.

This historic display will be located in what then will be known as "The Donald Trump (Your Favorite President) Memorial Hall, formerly known as the White House ballroom. "Your Favorite President" is known for constructing the ballroom as a memorial to himself.
Tickets to view the sarcophagus will be sold to the public for an as-yet undisclosed amount. Proceeds will go to the Donald Trump Memorial Fund and sent into the coffin so that "Your Favorite President" is able to take it with him.

Order gold paid for by US taxpayer, then substitute with cheap Home Depot paint.
Store the real stuff in Trump Crime family vaults.

(2,782 posts)at a minimum, 99.9% pure gold. Amazing how the foreign leaders, and everyone else, are able to discern the difference.
quaker bill
(8,255 posts)The cool thing about gold as a material is that it can be pounded extremely thin, so thin that it can be translucent. There is very little gold used to make this look, even if it is the usual 23.5K.
It is pretty cheap, and looks pretty tacky. You probably pay more in labor than materials. An ounce of gold will cover a lot of surface area. Sure, it would be more pricey than Krylon, but not that much.
