The Republican has decked out the inner sanctum of the US presidency with gilded trophies and gold-plated, Trump-branded coasters, and filled almost every available inch of wall space with portraits of his predecessors.
Far more than during his first term, it's as if the 78-year-old former reality TV star and billionaire property mogul is creating something that is part-studio and part-exclusive real estate.
“The show is the point. Part of the show is the bling. It would be surprising if Trump did not remake the Oval Office into a TV set that reflected his brand.”
But there's also a serious political message behind Trump's frenetic redecoration.
It was, therefore, no coincidence when the gallery of presidential portraits got a new addition: the 19th-century president James Polk.
It was a clear piece of political symbolism at a time that Trump is alarming allies by openly talking about annexing Greenland, reclaiming the Panama Canal and taking over Gaza.
Each president picks most of their decor from similar sources including the White House art collection, but they still manage to stamp a very personal touch on the Oval.
“Do you think Joe Biden would do this? I don’t think so,“ Trump said Tuesday as he pulled back light-protecting drapes on the Declaration of Independence in an interview with Fox News Channel’s “The Ingraham Angle.”
Trump has nine -- and that doesn't count others near his desk, including Republican icon Ronald Reagan's.
And while both Trump and Biden had a bust of civil rights leader Martin Luther King on display, Trump has brought back the bust of Britain's World War II prime minister Winston Churchill that he had during his first term.
The ostentatious display should probably not come as a surprise for a man who announced his first presidential run by descending on a golden escalator at Trump Tower in New York.
And Trump's makeover rarely shies away from promoting both his own brand and an image of strength that has been central to his political career.
Trump is even reportedly planning to pave over the famed Rose Garden that the Oval Office overlooks, to give it the patio-like feel of his Mar-a-Lago residence in Florida.
Right outside the Oval Office in a gold frame hangs a photo of Trump -- his 2023 mugshot, as featured on the cover of a tabloid newspaper, from when he was booked in Georgia for alleged attempts to interfere with the 2020 election.
