Shop this look: Buy cheap, faux gold dupes of Oval Office decor

This discussion thread was locked as off-topic by Lasher (a host of the The DU Lounge forum).

Since President Donald Trump moved back into the White House in January, it has undergone some major decorative changes. The Swedish ivy that perched upon the mantle has been replaced with golden vases from the White House collection. And the room, overall, has just gotten noticeably more shiny and gold.

Looking at photos taken in the Oval Office this week with El Salvadoran President Nayib Bukele, we noticed several decorative medallions applied to the marble fireplace, and the same ones stuck on the wall under portraits in gilded frames

It is the sign of a narcissist who needs reminders of his fake power.
