Senator suggests Trump's Oval Office adorned with fake gold from Hobby Lobby

Sen. Mark Kelly (D-AZ) was clear on Friday that President Donald Trump's design aesthetic was not his style.

In an interview with TMZ, the Trump antagonist and Senate Armed Services Committee member argued that Trump's vision for the White House wasn't exactly aligned with how he viewed it.

"I think every president is going to leave their mark, and some choose policy and some choose paint," Kelly said. "He seems to be like a paint guy, he likes gold paint. I don't think that's real gold. I think you buy that stuff from Hobby Lobby and you paint it gold."

He also argued that Trump's lack of focus on affordability and the economy has baffled voters struggling to make ends meet.

"But this is serious. I've got constituents who can't afford to put gas in their car to go to work," Kelly explained. "I got a text the other day from a mom who is trying to take her kid to cancer treatment and can't afford the gas — it's a 300-mile round trip and she doesn't know what she's going to do. And this president is focused on how many square feet of the Oval Office can be covered in gold crap and then an arch and a ballroom and all this other stuff that doesn't matter to the American people."

Kelly, who has not officially mentioned a run for president and has previously said he was "undecided" about a potential bid for 2028, said that a future president might not want that gold design in the Oval Office. He talked about how the Oval Office used to look "classy and normal" under President George W. Bush and President Barack Obama.

"I imagine that anybody who replaces Donald Trump is going to immediately rip all that crap off the wall and restore some dignity to the office," Kelly said, adding that he even thinks a future Republican president would want to remove the gold decor.

"It's also not America. It's not who we are. That's what a palace would look like," Kelly said.
