In a development that has left political analysts polishing their glasses, President Trump has begun slowly morphing into Austin Powers’ Goldmember as his infatuation with the chemical element has resulted in a spoof-level presidency.
Trump recently rolled out a 22-foot solid gold statue of himself displayed at the Trump National Doral Miami golf resort, declaring, “I look very toit. Yesh, toit like a toiger.”
“I painted his yoo-hoo gold,” the president added.
The Pentagon also recently unveiled plans for the new “American Golden Dome Missile Shield” defense system designed to protect the United States from attack, which would likely cost well over “one trillion dollars.”
Meanwhile, the controversial White House ballroom project originally supposed to be no cost to taxpayers but recently revealed to bill them for around $1 billion, is going to be fitted with gold chandeliers, leafing and decor.
POTUS reportedly told staff the ballroom will be the perfect place for world leaders to enjoy “a shmoke und a pancake, a flapjack und a shigarette, a shigar und a waffle, a pipe und a crepe, or a bong und a blintz.”
Furthermore, the president’s gold Trump Mobile cell phones started shipping out to customers on Monday, according to USA Today.
Speaking on one of his phones during a demonstration this week, President Trump told the person on the other end of the line, “I have a Dutch accent. Isn’t that weird?”
In 2025, Trump introduced a gold card visa program where foreign nationals could pay $1-million to fast-track their U.S. visas, CNBC reported on Sunday that only 165 applicants have paid the processing fee so far.
Speaking with one individual who forked over the million dollars, President Trump reportedly stated, “You are from Holland, isn’t that weird?”
Asked about her husband’s bizarre infatuation with gold during a recent interview, First Lady Melania Trump told reporters he’s compensating for the fact that he recently lost his mojo.
