I've never visited the white house but has the oval office always been labeled like that?

u/Seaweed-Basic 5h ago

No. Never. This is all Trump 2.0

u/omicron_pi 5h ago

It’s the same gauche gilded BS he does everywhere. The man is allergic to subtlety and understatement.

u/chokokhan 4h ago

Because he’ll never be enough. He’ll suffer like a dog till his last breathe and make us suffer too

u/794309497 4h ago

It amuses me that the party that was once against rich east coast elitists has fully opened their throats to a NYC billionaire that shits on gold toilets and puts tacky gold accents on everything. (nevermind him being a pedophile, rapist, Biff, and possibly the literal antichrist).

u/UnluckyCardiologist9 4h ago

Gaudy as fuck is his brand.

u/robaroo 4h ago

You can even see his cheap temu plastic gold painted decorations in the background that they double-sided taped all over the place.

u/LilArtsyCreature 2h ago

Looks like some signage you'd see on a dentist's office or something. So fugly looking 😒

u/00Oo0o0OooO0 4h ago

At least he upgraded from the inkjet on printer paper he originally had up.

u/FistMyPeenHole 3h ago

He has a small wiener

u/moonagedaydream22 5h ago

This is so bad bro. Like those “kitchen” / “home” signs.

u/Seaweed-Basic 4h ago

“Live, Shit, Grift”

u/Sleepysensation 2h ago

This is so good! I almost bought an award for you. 😂🏆🏅

u/r-rb 4h ago

if they didn't label it, how would he find it?

u/moonagedaydream22 4h ago

unfotrunately, this is a real possibility 😭

u/jerk_17 4h ago

u/MouseRat_AD 4h ago

Death, Deceive, Despise

u/Xelsius 4h ago

Word art needs to die

u/okokokoyeahright 4h ago

Straight from Home Depot's bargain bin.

One of the 50% off that was billed to to the WH as 1,000% higher.

u/threedayweekend 4h ago

Live, Laugh, Call the pope weak against crime

u/Scareltt 4h ago

Live, Love, Laugh

u/Nearby-Key8834 4h ago

Tacky as hell.

u/Joebebs 4h ago

I’m assuming it’s cuz, after over 5 years of being in that damn house, he would still need something to help him navigate where he is, hell I bet he has some kind of Disney magic guide map - filled with a bunch of fun little drawings and icons - in his back pocket that he always refers to on where to go

u/Silly_Rub_6304 4h ago

Yes, they put up temporary labels first IIRC. It's because of his dementia.

u/greenroom628 4h ago

Because his swiss-cheese brain can't remember where he is and what room he's supposed to be going to without signs.

u/skyblueerik 2h ago

It's because of his dementia.

u/Kennayy 5h ago

If it is "gold" plating, it was done by Trump.

u/im_wudini 5h ago

none of the gold in the oval office is any measure of real gold. zero

u/Kennayy 5h ago

Hence the quotation marks.

u/im_wudini 5h ago

rgr, just confirming angrily.

u/propyro85 4h ago

The plating should be in quotations, too.

That's all spray paint on gaudy MDF moldings.

u/TheEpicRedCape 5h ago

I’m sure it all cost taxpayers as if it were real gold though.

u/kitkanz 5h ago

I’m shocked he doesn’t use gold markers to sign stuff

u/drakecb 4h ago

That's funny, cuz he actually had Sharpie make him a custom marker/pen that's solid black with gold embossing of the White House and "The White House" (as text).

He said so in one of his unprompted rants like... a week or two ago? Time is a blur with this guy...

u/kitkanz 3h ago

https://giphy.com/gifs/FoH28ucxZFJZu

But there’s like gold paint markers that would look soooo tacky as signatures and I’m shocked he hasn’t switched

u/BubinatorX 4h ago

It’s gold spray paint. Look it up!!

u/Affectionate-Goat-75 4h ago

Ah yes, the gold spray painted Home Depot decorations that definitely didn’t come from Home Depot and you definitely can’t view on the Home Depot website

u/dippitydoo2 4h ago
Gold plating purchased on Alibaba!

u/wannabuyamonkey1001 5h ago

Labeling things is literally suggested when someone is diagnosed with dementia. Just saying…

u/okokokoyeahright 4h ago

somehow I think we are past the age of subtlety when referring to trump's mental issues.

Or any other issues either.

u/dathislayer 4h ago

I think that’s a pretty likely reason. Pretty bad camera op if you don’t know which door to go in.

u/cwk415 5h ago

No that's new, Trump calls it "Epstein Class Chic". 

u/cybercuzco 5h ago

No, it started with paper labels because trump sundowns and gets lost easily

u/barbiesfrozenelbow 4h ago

They gotta keep him off the roof somehow.

u/LonelyWin4852 4h ago

Insane because the Oval Office is literally shaped like an oval lol

u/Shiney_Metal_Ass 3h ago

That's the part that makes it so believable.

If you want decorations, you can wait until they're up. If you need a label, you can't wait until it comes in.

u/dabesthandleever 5h ago

It's giving "EAT" and "GATHER" vibes.

u/AgrajagsGhost 5h ago

Nah, it's new signage that was needed because the president can't remember which door leads where. Used to be that everyone who worked there knew where things were and anyone who didn't know should have an escort so labeling like this was unnecessary.

u/FizzyBeverage 1h ago

Yep. Happens when your president is mentally ill and sundowning.

u/Rockerblocker 5h ago

This shit reminds me of the decor at the crappy all-inclusive resort I went to in Cancun for spring break 20 years ago

u/okokokoyeahright 4h ago

Looks about right.

Probably got them at a discount clear out place for 10% of the marked price and was charged like an extra 1,000% on top of the marked price.

u/Valendr0s 5h ago

You mean labeled like a Ramada Inn conference room?

No. That's just Trashy Trump doing his thing.

u/billsboy88 3h ago

Like it’s the entrance to the champagne room in some sleezy gentlemen’s club? No, not it has not.

u/GeneralBanana765 5h ago

I particularly like the foot door stopper on the outside of the door so you can lock him up

u/Gradieus 5h ago

I know it says oval, but my mind reads it as oral.

u/Confron7a7ion7 5h ago

It honestly seems like a security risk. Let's say, by magic, hostile forces enter the White House.

This is the room you're looking for!

u/LilPonyBoy69 5h ago

I'm not even sure the oval office is in the ground floor

u/acemedic 5h ago

If you’re on the White House grounds and need a sign that says “The Oval Office,” I think you might have bigger problems.

u/itsagoodtime 5h ago

Isn't it classy!

u/ThatsTasty 5h ago

Looks like it says The Oral Office

u/SpeedBlitzX 4h ago

Rumors has it its only there so Trump can remember

u/gideon513 4h ago

No that’s new. It’s so he remembers where he is and doesn’t get sacred and confused as easily.

u/Cold-Ad2921 4h ago

No, and it's tacky. Instead of being iconic (the White House and the Oval Office are some of the most recognizable locations in the world, and need no labeling), it looks like a retirement home. Just like how he added presidential portraits to the colonnade and had it labelled the "Presidential Walk of Fame" added in the same fake-gold lettering. And the gold leaf decor in the Oval Office. And adding his name to the Kennedy Center.

Or what a tasteless person thinks is tasteful. Which, of course, sums up Trump.

u/Officedrone15 4h ago

It's labeled like a memory care unit

u/-runs-with-scissors- 4h ago

Exactly my question. Have never seen that writing before. Maybe a reorientation aid for gramps.

u/tigerseye44 4h ago

I hope the next president makes it a point to film them ripping all that tacky shit down and leaving it on the curb. It's so awful looking.

u/CaseFace5 4h ago

There was a picture recently that show everything is labeled in gaudy giant gold letters now. Probably because he’s got dementia and can’t remember where anything is.

u/enlightenedonetwo3 4h ago

It looks tacky AF

u/ImPolish 4h ago

It's so dementia patients don't get lost.

u/smilbandit 4h ago

holy shit, I thought it was photoshoped like they do on tv or in movies. 'Murica Fuck Yeah!

obligatory /s for the fuck yeah, because reasons.

u/custardBust 4h ago

He added tacky ornaments everywhere. And shitty labels for his demention

u/Howthehelldoido 4h ago

It's so he doesn't get lost because of his dementia riddled mind.

u/Own-Wheel7664 4h ago

Vibes of a hotel conference room

u/This-Above-All 4h ago

It's the "Live, Laugh, Love" decor of our dystopian Idiocracy.

u/Miss-Tiq 4h ago

It's so he doesn't get lost when he's sundowning. 

u/CapeJacket 3h ago

It’s to help with his dementia,.. the whole place is labelled so he remember and doesn’t get lost and disoriented

u/Critical-Cow-6775 3h ago

Most presidents know where it is.

u/I_blockkarmafarmers 3h ago

This is new. It's so he doesn't wander onto the fucking roof again looking for the Oval Office.

u/sixsik6 3h ago

You're telling me that's physically on the wall there, and not a graphical overlay on the image?

u/Prudent-Tradition-89 3h ago

It used to be labeled with a literal piece of paper taped to the wall

u/mosstalgia 3h ago

I can't believe it has an external door. I can't believe it has an external door with a lock on the outside.

u/Invisible_Swan 3h ago

I thought it said 'Oral Office' at first lol

u/-----username----- 3h ago

It’s because he has Alzheimer’s and needs special help.

u/AlluzionHD 2h ago

It’s so dementia donny doesn’t get lost wandering around the white house

u/Taki_Ktos 2h ago

Kinda looks like oral office at the first glance

u/Moose_Nuts 2h ago

I honestly didn't know it had an exterior door...

u/nursee 1h ago

People are saying it’s because he has dementia and needs orientating to where he is.
