      I do not understand this comment.

      Are you saying decent countries gilt everything as a show of wealth?

        I’m saying it’s only some wealthy people who are into it and they exist everywhere, it’s not a US thing.

        Plus…historically, plenty of countries did exactly that. Famously. Statues, furniture, rooms. It’s not like Trump is the originator

        If anywhere could claim it as their aesthetic nowadays, it’d be the UAE.

          It’s so odd how much you didn’t understand what they ment. They talked about countries, as in the government’s and people who rule not using gold for stuff like statues etc. in decent countries.

          They never said they only ment the US, they never said it was about anything other than the countries (like some people).

          I seriously don’t understand how you’re so confused about very clear words, it’s extremely weird.
