My theory is he grabs a truckload of Ft Knox gold.
Claims he is decorating the WH with it.
Charges it all to US taxpayer.

Puts the gold in the Trump Crime Family secret vaults.
Buys cheap gold paint at Home Depot.
No one's the wiser.

Yep. No way the whole gold thing in the WH is an honest endeavor.

Trump would have the real stuff hid away in Mar-a-Lago or one of his other properties or sold and converted to cash already.

Gold spray paint from Home Deport is much more likely for his Whitehouse.

They said it was all pre-fab plastic with gold spray paint.

Remember when Trump & Elon went to Ft Worth to look at the gold not long ago? My crazy guess is they brought moving truck teams and the garbage on the WH walls is the cover for whatever has gone missing.

24 karat is pure (.999) gold. It doesn’t get any higher than that.

And, no, I don’t think Dumpy’s Home Depot trim and mantle tchotchkes are 24 karat gold.

Looks like the Mustang Ranch interior designer got an open check book from Diaper Don, doesn't it enhance the classic decor??!!??

plastic painted by the same klutz who spray paints his face every day. Just changed the color. And one day will mix them. THAT...would be worth its weight in gold...spray paint!
