Trumpā€™s $3m White House redesign? Itā€™s as drab as a downmarket hotel

Trumpā€™s obsequious aides have been dutifully gushing with praise online. ā€œThe White Houseā€™s newly renovated Roosevelt Room looks incredible,ā€ cooed Cliff Sims, special assistant to the president. He canā€™t get out much. The accompany photos he tweeted look straight out of a corporate conference centre brochure. Recessed lights glare down from a suspended ceiling, while the walls are drenched in that ubiquitous shade of greigeā€¦

Lots of new eagles, everywhere. Perching on a pair of pedestals, their talons clinging to gilded rocks, an alarming duo of metre-high eagles greet visitors to the Roosevelt Room, beaks agape, wings raised up high, ready to attack. A gilded eagle peers down from the ceiling of the Oval Office too, clutching a chandelier in its talons, as if ready to hurl it down on any uncooperative heads of state.
