I know gold is gaudy and it looks… plasticy somehow, entirely fake, just like Trump.
But when those statues were built, they were made of bronze and then fire-gilded.
This is how they looked in 2008:
The statues were actually due for a re-gilding… but I think it should not have been done in gold leaf! Much too shiny. But making them golden was not Trumps idea. And Obama had absolutely nothing to do with these statues.
I am far more concerned about how this shitposter-administration announced the work:
Interior secretary Doug Burgum had recently ordered the regilding of the statues as part of the department’s “auramaxxing [of] Washington, D.C. ahead of America’s 250th birthday”.
And that the no-bid contract (so you know it’s corruption) balooned over budget from 2.4 to 5.1 million dollar.

Wait it actually happened and it’s not just a meme?
No, that actually happened. The shitposter-incel-in-chief has incel underlings that… yes, talk like that.
And he’s gilding the statues at the Lincoln Memorial Circle with gold leaf.
