At least some of Dicktator Don's decor is spray painted crap:

President Donald Trump’s brag that he transformed the Oval Office into a “24-karat gold” paradise, dripping in ornate decor, has seemingly been debunked by Internet sleuths who say the new furnishings are actually cheap plastic bought at Home Depot.

As shiny gold vermeil figurines were placed on the mantel, medallions on the fireplace, and gold eagles on the side tables, some eagle-eyed sleuths zeroed in on the Oval Office’s wall and fireplace trimmings.

According to the skeptics, several of those trimmings are actually plastic molds bought at Home Depot and painted in gold, Inside Edition reported.

The plastic embellishments, sold at the popular hardware and home improvement store as “polyurethane applique & onlay molding,” retail for $58.07, according to The Mirror.
