Mark Kelly isn’t holding back when it comes to Donald Trump’s taste in décor. The Arizona senator was on Capitol Hill when he weighed in on reports of Trump filling the Oval Office with gold accents — and he made it clear he’s not a fan. According to Kelly, whoever becomes the next president will likely have one immediate task: stripping away what he bluntly called “that gold crap” and bringing a sense of dignity back to the space.
Kelly argued that the flashy gold style feels out of place in what’s meant to be “The People’s House,” saying it’s more suited to a royal palace than the White House. He even joked that the gold might not be authentic, speculating it looks more like something you’d find at Hobby Lobby.
Beyond aesthetics, Kelly suggested the focus on lavish design choices highlights a disconnect from everyday Americans. He pointed to concerns he hears from constituents back home in Arizona — including rising gas prices and families struggling to get their children to cancer treatments — as issues that matter far more than gold curtains or ballroom plans.
For Kelly, the message is simple: leave the glitz behind and refocus on what truly affects people’s lives.#newsafro_
