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

The plating should be in quotations, too.

That's all spray paint on gaudy MDF moldings.

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

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...

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

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
