A full-scale replica of Donald Trump’s Oval Office has been unveiled in Washington DC, with a gold theme matching the president’s second term aesthetic. The People’s House: A White House Experience museum, located 150 yards from the real White House, features a gilded rococo nightmare with heavy carved frames, swirling wall onlays, brass vases, and decorative knickknacks crowding the surfaces.
The 9-year-old Sydney Wright, among many visitors, expressed her love for the room's dazzling details. The replica, designed by a team of specialists, took one week to complete with over 25 crew members. Despite some opinions disputing the gilding as tacky, many see the replica as a unique experience close to the heart of presidential power.
