If they’re “pure gold,” as Trump claims, they can be melted back down by the next WH resident.
For that matter, they can be recycled even if they’re not…fill the holes, slap on a quick plaster skim coat, a layer of paint, and the WH will be back to normal. Put the gold appliqué items on eBay and put the proceeds into dementia research.
He'll more likely pry them off the wall & replace them with fakes when he leaves, (or sneaks out in the dark of night) to decorate his Mar a Lardo bedroom. Or his new Gaza Riviera escape resort. Or better yet, his prison cell...
Rick Wilson has the best idea. Bury them all in the ocean, the whole lot. Same with the ball room... tear it down and drop it into the ocean so it doesn't become any sort of "shrine".
My guess is they are not gold at all. He has been known to lie. Check out what Charlie Sheen says about the cufflinks Trump gave him. Home depot for sure.
At most they would be gold leafed, but I doubt they are even that. They would not be "solid gold," which would have cost millions of dollars in renovation costs for the metal alone. Gold is $4198/ Troy oz today.
Pry them off the wall and patch and paint. None of those are original. They are held on with glue.
They are made of either plastic like stuff or foam like stuff and then gilded with very very thin sheets of gold leaf. Which are about $8 for a stack of 200 sheets that are like 5x5 inches. Or they could be painted gold. Really, it's a DIY project at heart.
I'm only as far as Kevin Hassett being a liar but I'm getting the idea that someone should walk up to every one of these clowns, knee them really hard in the nuts and then say "What's the matter? All I did was give you a pat on the back."
I like the Jeff Tiedrich challenge. He’s offering a pile of money to any journalist who says directly to the orange gobshite, “what the fuck is wrong with you?”
He's always been an ignorant snake, but what's been added to it is a stroke protocol involving MRIs and animal identification tests and clock drawing tasks. I should know, I've had them myself. Luckily, unlike fotus, my brain wasn't damaged, only my eyes were.
But this guy?
He gone.
So what should be asked of his cabinet is: "Why are you hiding the fact he's incapacitated? And how long do you plan on Playing 'Weekend at Bernie's?'"
Google and Wikipedia: "Winners of the Pulitzer Prize receive a $15,000 cash award and a certificate, except for the Public Service category, which is awarded a gold medal instead of cash. The cash prize was raised from $10,000 in 2017."
.
Not nearly as much, but I could really really use even 15 grand.
LOL! I always thought is was $250K, but when I googled it I was astonished to see that figure. The Wiki answer that I found: "Nobel Prize winners receive a cash award of 11 million Swedish kronor (approximately $1.2 million USD) for 2025, along with a gold medal and a diploma. If the prize is shared, the money is divided equally among the winners." Curious...
Or, "Why is it okay that your immigrant pornwife chain-migrated her family here, but not okay for people who want to and actually work instead of posing, getting plastic surgery, and whining about Christmas decorations?"
At $4,200 per ounce, a pound of gold would cost roughly $67,200. So, if all of it is pure gold then there are millions and millions of dollars tied up. Has anyone check Fort Knox lately?
yeah, I'm sorry...but no one is ever going to convince me that that is real gold dripping all over those walls in just about the ugliest, most over-the-top-bordello "style" I have ever seen. If cheap and trashy is the look Trump was going for--he has achieved it.
Agreed- it’s Gold Leaf probably applied milked MDF or molded foam. We have several family frames that are simply gold leaf applied to wood. The “Offal” Office looks like some of the seedy places I saw while overseas with our Navy.
If Trump is nutz, then a "No Nutz" rally against him makes sense.
Plus Trumpism/MAGAverse in general all seem really desperate to prove something. People chanting "NO NUTS" under his image is likely to get under his oh-so thin, orange skin.
Cannot believe Ingraham asks him real questions. Let's hope the responses posted here by formerly MAGA is reflective of feelings more widely. Trump's is no longer the party of MAGA. It is now the party of EP=Elite Pedophiles.
Is Trump having his Louis XVI moment as he shows off his Court of Versailles White house, and his ostentatious lifestyle while Americans starve? What will that do to the people?
Where Dems and MAGA differ. They refuse to hold their leader accountable,whereas there is not a bit of rage subsiding over the eight who voted with them. In fact it quadrupled last night when, surprise surprise they won’t even negotiate healthcare unless already damaging abortion bans are made even stronger. Who the fuck ever could have predicted that?
Every American who cares, should be loading the 8's phone lines, emails face to face at their offices and standing outside their homes. Hound the 6 to quit and the 2 to retire early.
I do believe trump “loves” the poorly educated because he believes he can con them repeatedly and completely but I think that fiction is coming to an end.
I'm not up on my gold leaf pricing. The last time I used it was in the 70s when I helped my mom cover a picture frame in it. It was probably dirt cheap back then. 😁
It's still relatively cheap, if you really want it for a craft project. I know plenty of people who use it for frames. You can still buy it at Michael's.
Actually, it’s not THAT expansive ́cuz it’s micro thin. But it’s a very lengthy job for a specialized person, so I ́d vote for the spray can. Plus usually you don’t do that sorta job in polyurethane.
It’s really not. It would take a little longer than spray paint, but not much and it takes ABSOLUTELY zero skill. You totally read the instructions on the bottle and just smack the leaf right on tacky glue. Brush off the excess, spray with lacquer and stick them on the wall when dry. Done. Cheap too. Mine was imported from China. Probably one of the students bought it over to avoid the tariffs.
That’s my opinion too since I tried some cheaper one (bronze for skinflints that don’t buy eternity) and it seemed an hour learning curve. Yet there was a girl selling her jobs as taking years to learn and master on that documentary on the telly yesterday. That’s how they get a better pay I suppose
Absolutely have Fox News do more interviews! dRump is going to hang himself. He can't help it. Especially when he's not on the defensive and is speaking his truths to 'friends'.
It’s not so much that he is out of touch as it is that he just doesn’t care at all about the plight of all the little people. None of any of this matters to a guy who doesn’t intend to leave the office until he keels over, which he assumes will be well past 2028.
Truly. He truly believes he can do anything he wants. Did you see his face when someone told him he can’t throw Spain out of NATO? Emotionally, he’s a 5 year old (I know we all know this). Odds are he spoke to a staff member to see if there’s a way around that.
Interesting comment by Stuart Steven’s in his Substack interview with Joyce Vance - I understood him to say it isn’t that Fox is leading the MAGA movement but rather Fox following because they are competing with Newsmax and others like that. It’s like they can’t dump him because they would lose their ratings. That’s an angle I’ve never considered.
If they’re “pure gold,” as Trump claims, they can be melted back down by the next WH resident.

Or refund checks, or pay down the deficit, or pay his victims
He'll more likely pry them off the wall & replace them with fakes when he leaves, (or sneaks out in the dark of night) to decorate his Mar a Lardo bedroom. Or his new Gaza Riviera escape resort. Or better yet, his prison cell...
If he does, they’ll probably end up in a banker’s box, in a Mar-a-Largo bathroom.
I call it the SAFE! All his treasures reside there.
They ARE fakes.
https://www.facebook.com/share/p/1FwZBoQ5XB/?mibextid=wwXIfr
He’s too stupid to know the difference. Someone told him they are real.
They are most likely fake already, or at most gold-leafed.
Offer them to the MAGAts. They would love to add them to their sneaker, Bible, meme coin collection.
Rick Wilson has the best idea. Bury them all in the ocean, the whole lot. Same with the ball room... tear it down and drop it into the ocean so it doesn't become any sort of "shrine".
Except for the East Wing
However, the east wing is fucked
They are definitely from Home Depot.
https://www.facebook.com/share/p/1FwZBoQ5XB/?mibextid=wwXIfr
True for everything at the White House except... THE EAST WING.
My guess is they are not gold at all. He has been known to lie. Check out what Charlie Sheen says about the cufflinks Trump gave him. Home depot for sure.

Thanks for the round up, Jay.
I'm only as far as Kevin Hassett being a liar but I'm getting the idea that someone should walk up to every one of these clowns, knee them really hard in the nuts and then say "What's the matter? All I did was give you a pat on the back."
I shouldn’t laugh but ha!
I even laughed while typing it!
Me too!!
Same reaction here. 🤣
I like the Jeff Tiedrich challenge. He’s offering a pile of money to any journalist who says directly to the orange gobshite, “what the fuck is wrong with you?”

So what should be asked of his cabinet is: "Why are you hiding the fact he's incapacitated? And how long do you plan on Playing 'Weekend at Bernie's?'"
In a similar vein, ask every trump supporter you come across, “So you CONDONE pedophilia,then, correct?”
child rape! say what it really was/is
Not that I’m aware of. What I’ve seen him offer is that the person who asks that deserves a lifetime of Pulitzer Prizes.
I think that $1,250,000 is awarded along with the medal, so that's a pile of money.
Google and Wikipedia: "Winners of the Pulitzer Prize receive a $15,000 cash award and a certificate, except for the Public Service category, which is awarded a gold medal instead of cash. The cash prize was raised from $10,000 in 2017."
.
Not nearly as much, but I could really really use even 15 grand.
But you would get it yearly for a lifetime, so it’s a pretty good pile of cash.
I didn't know that's how they do it. That's a great thing to looks forward to every year!
Fair enough!
LOL! I always thought is was $250K, but when I googled it I was astonished to see that figure. The Wiki answer that I found: "Nobel Prize winners receive a cash award of 11 million Swedish kronor (approximately $1.2 million USD) for 2025, along with a gold medal and a diploma. If the prize is shared, the money is divided equally among the winners." Curious...
Ah, THAT’S why Trump keeps whining about wanting one.
But Tiedrich is talking about a PULITZER Prize, not a Nobel, which only gets you 15K.
But the Riz is awesome.
Another Substacker offered to spring for a congratulatory dinner, and I offered to supply a bottle of wine to go with. Not aware of any cash prize.
I would make a donation to the cause.
Or, "Why is it okay that your immigrant pornwife chain-migrated her family here, but not okay for people who want to and actually work instead of posing, getting plastic surgery, and whining about Christmas decorations?"
touche!
Good! Glad to hear more and more idiots are arriving at the “find out” stage of this clusterf$$k regime.
I reckon you could saw Hassett's leg off without anaesthetic - and he'd still keep smiling. And saying "my leg is NOT being sawn off. . ."
I believe you're right!

I've been saying that since he started guilding. Also when the Dems have a majority, they need to order an audit of the countries finances.
Sounds like you have the theme for the next national rally: No Nutz.
A band I worked with years ago released an LP and honestly wanted to call it Nutz & Butz.
Besides, it can't be No Nutz, because Trump's nutz. No ifs, ands, or butz.
If Trump is nutz, then a "No Nutz" rally against him makes sense.
Plus Trumpism/MAGAverse in general all seem really desperate to prove something. People chanting "NO NUTS" under his image is likely to get under his oh-so thin, orange skin.
Cue inflatable Mr Planters (peanuts) costumes.

OOoh, where can I sign up for that? I am really short, so hard raps below the belt are my specialty. I love toes and shins too!
🤭🤭🤭🤣🤣🤣 perfect!!!!
I would love to be the first in line for that. I'd buy some pointy toed cowboy boots or a pair of steel toed boots 💪😅
Hahahahaha!!!
Reverse gaslighting! 😂😂😂
I cannot stand Laura Ingram, but goddamn seeing even Fox turning on the rotting orange is cathartic as kitten cuddles.
We can chalk all this up to his increasing dementia ... and we should start a billboard in Times Square counting the incidents :)
Showing them, as well!
Could it possibly be that some of the Cult Moron members will have the scales fall from their eyes and see that the emperor has no clothes?
Alas, there have been many incidents like this, but then the media cycle moves on, and they all go back to slavish adoration in like 48 hours.
Lather, rinse, repeat ad nauseam

To see that orange slob with no clothes on would grow scales over my eyes!
I’ll believe it when I see it.
Re: tRump and his "lack of talented people" in the US:
"I love the poorly educated!". Actually, he loathes the "poorly educated", but loves their vote...MAGA in a nutshell.
I do believe trump “loves” the poorly educated because he believes he can con them repeatedly and completely but I think that fiction is coming to an end.
He was richly educated with Fred buying a diploma --re the stupidest student I ever had
“You can’t imitate gold. There’s no paint that imitates gold.”
Two words for you: gold leaf.
Gold paint is cheaper, gold leaf is quite expensive, because it does have gold in it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AIoxg6aSIso
I'm not up on my gold leaf pricing. The last time I used it was in the 70s when I helped my mom cover a picture frame in it. It was probably dirt cheap back then. 😁

The spray can missed and ended up on his f'in' face.
It’s really not. It would take a little longer than spray paint, but not much and it takes ABSOLUTELY zero skill.

It's not that expensive. Under $10 for a package of 200 sheets. They are 5x5 inch sheets.
And then there's the irony of the Great Gatsby Halloween party at Mar a Lago on the eve of SNAP benefit shut off.
That whole thing was soooo tone deaf! And they didn't care. They just reveled in it and he sat there and grinned like a goon.
It epitomizes the famous "careless people" quote from The Great Gatsby, doesn't it?
“We do have a lot of people coming in from China. We always have,"
No, dude, the Chinese were one group explicitly banned from immigrating for many years.
That degree his Dad bought him must have been cheap.
Golden calf anyone?
He should just come out and say "I am an antichrist." Most of his fake "Christian" cult would be fine with it.
Re The Oval, I think it’s highly likely that he used Home Depot junk, billed the government for real gold, and pocketed the difference.
More likely his interior designer told him they were solid gold and he believed it. He is dumb, after all, especially when flattered.
Nah, I saw those at Michael’s recently.
I’m cheering for Laura Ingraham and MTG. Hell has indeed frozen over.
Absolutely have Fox News do more interviews! dRump is going to hang himself. He can't help it. Especially when he's not on the defensive and is speaking his truths to 'friends'.

He doesn't care about "people", period, unless they are kissing his behind. He stood there like a zombie when that guy fainted behind him.
When is Foxnews going to dump Trump?
When is fox “news” going to go off the freaking air for good??
Interesting comment by Stuart Steven’s in his Substack interview with Joyce Vance - I understood him to say it isn’t that Fox is leading the MAGA movement but rather Fox following because they are competing with Newsmax and others like that. It’s like they can’t dump him because they would lose their ratings. That’s an angle I’ve never considered.
Trump had been Fox’s “golden” goose for over a decade. They can’t quit their ratings machine.
Fox started up in the 1990s. They’ve been saturating the airwaves with right wing talking points ever since.
Newsmax is fairly recent.
The words were not mine. Perhaps I misheard Mr. Stewart. Take a listen and judge for yourself. https://open.substack.com/pub/joycevance/p/lincoln-square-x-civil-discourse?r=3yu52&utm_medium=ios
Newsmax has been running "We're the REAL mouthpiece of Donald Trump" ads of late. 🙄
Good grief!
Ask him about the Resolute Desk which he say is out for refurbishing. Instead it's at Mira Lago, another theft of government property!!
😠 Seriously? That is so not right.
