Trump Adding 'Gaudy' Gold Details To Yet Another Iconic Area Of The White House

The White House’s new interior design philosophy seems to be: If it ain’t baroque, fix it.

Jeanine Pirro, former Fox News host and the U.S. attorney for the District of Columbia, revealed Tuesday that President Donald Trump has given another iconic part of the White House the Mar-a-Lago treatment.

“. @realDonaldTrump redoing the colonnade at the White House,” Pirro wrote, while presumably drinking box wine.

Alongside the caption are two images of the changes made to the historic West Colonnade — an exterior space that runs between the West Wing and the Executive Residence, which has earned the nickname the “45-second commute.”

That's what the real thing looked like. Gaudy and overwhelming but well crafted

Trumps really wants to see himself as King Louis XVI, though without the revolutionary guillotine
