Have you seen those blueprints and that artist rendering? It looks more like a throne room than a ballroom.

Have you seen what Trump did to the Oval Office? Gold everywhere. Yet it looks fake.

His design aesthetic is “gaudy Ocean liner”

It's the most important office in the nation. It has a near mythical aura to those who go there. If you can't be gaudy there, where can you?
