Why Is Donald Trump So Obsessed With The Color Gold?
LOADING ERROR LOADINGPresident Donald Trump’s gilding of the Oval Office has made waves across the world. “Trump’s fascination for the color gold is documented for decades. AdvertisementThis is evident through the gold signage at Trump Tower and the gold-bedecked living room in a now-famous family picture of Trump, his wife Melania Trump and his son Barron Trump, who is riding a fake lion. The color gold is associated with success, achievement and status. According to Dudley, Trump’s use of gold throughout the Oval Office (and beyond) is an example of “identity signaling,” which is when “people use visual cues — that could be what my house looks like, that could be what I’m wearing — to show how they see themselves.”“He’s got gold lettering and gold decor everywhere, and he paints everything gold, and it’s all gold, gold, gold,” Dudley noted.

You May Be In A 'Tolyamorous’ Relationship Without Ever Having Discussed It

Since then, Trump’s people have tried to rewrite American history according to their ideology. On December 18, 2025, they wrote to Bunch again to complain he had not provided as much information as they had requested. But a funny thing happened on the way to the erasure of American history in favor of a whitewashed authoritarianism. Volunteers worried at the potential loss of National Park Service information created the Save Our Signs project, a crowd-sourced archive of photographs from National Parks. Historians appalled by changes to the Smithsonian created Citizen Historians for the Smithsonian, similarly documenting changes to the Smithsonian.

Police make multiple arrests at site of clash with protesters
Dark matter and dark energy are mysteries that have confounded scientists for decades, even though they comprise 95% of the universe's mass. Such concepts have also sparked spiritual and philosophical questions about unseen reality, human existence and the origin of the cosmos. Several astronomers and physicists who have researched these topics describe faith as inspiring, not conflicting with their scientific inquiry. Across faith and spiritual traditions, there is mention of invisible worlds, dimensions and entities reminiscent of dark matter and dark energy. But scientists say such stories and interpretations are better not taken literally, but used as inspiration to explore different approaches to today's scientific problems.
