Trump criticizes appointment of Jerome Powell who he appointed himself

Donald Trump keeps adding gold to the Oval Office and before and after pictures show just how out of hand it’s become.
Since Trump took office in January, it’s clear he wants to put his own unique touch on things at the White House, such as paving over the Rose Garden and hanging an image of his infamous mugshot on the wall.
And, it hasn’t passed people by just how much gold he has added to the Oval Office, as images show the area around the fireplace covered with ornate gold scroll that certainly wasn’t there during the Joe Biden administration.
In a series of two images, the look of the Oval Office during Biden and Trump’s administrations has highlighted the stark difference in their tastes.
While Biden kept the room quite understated with some portraits on the wall and a green garland along the fireplace mantlepiece, Trump has, by contrast, gone full “Pimp My White House”.
“OMG. Somehow, someway, Trump has managed to install even more gold scroll work to the area around the fireplace.
“Absolutely embarrassing,” someone wrote on X/Twitter.
Someone else said: “And Now for Another Episode of: Pimp My White House.”
Showing the difference, another posted two images and wrote, “The Oval Office, then and now”.
