President Donald Trump is known for his gaudy taste in decor and now he has people rolling their eyes after he claimed that all of the gold decorations in the Oval Office actually makes visitors "freak out" due to its "quality and beauty."
The Oval Office has been significantly revamped since Trump took office in January—it features, among other things, fireplace adorned with gold cherubs and medallions, surrounded by portraits of American statesmen in ornate gold frames and shelves filled with gilded figurines, urns, and freshly installed Rococo mirrors.
Trump posted a video on Truth Social showing gold decor that will soon be placed on the White House walls and commented:
“Some of the highest quality 24 Karat Gold used in the Oval Office and Cabinet Room of the White House."
"Foreign Leaders, and everyone else, ‘freak out’ when they see the quality and beauty. Best Oval Office ever, in terms of success and look!!!"
You can see his post and the video below.

Trump was swifly called out for his boast at a time when Americans are struggling with the rising cost of living, particularly the high grocery prices Trump was claimed he would take care of on his first day in office.
Trump first revealed the lavish makeover of his office in February, when Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu became the first foreign leader to see it in person.
The two world leaders posed beneath a portrait of George Washington, framed by gold medallions, cherubs, and a gallery wall so tightly packed that the frames nearly touched.
During a Fox News tour with Laura Ingraham, Trump gestured toward the cherubs and said:
“It’s angels. They say angels bring good luck, and we need a lot of luck in this country with what they’ve done over the last four years.”
By May, Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney was seated in the Oval Office for a bilateral meeting. Trump referred to the Oval Office as “new and improved" Oval Office." He added that as the room "becomes more and more beautiful with love—you know, we handle it with great love—and 24-karat gold. That always helps, too.”
Trump is also overseeing a project to repave the White House Garden in the style of his Mar-a-Lago estate and has commissioned the construction of an enormous ballroom, so we can expect the People's House to look drastically different sooner rather than later.

It's always nice when our partner makes a grand gesture to show how much they love and care about us.
Be it a surprise romantic getaway, a nice dinner out, or a gift they knew we'd been eyeing, what touches us the most is knowing they did this to show how much we mean to them.
However, it is possible for our partners to demonstrate their love for us through smaller gestures.
Indeed, more often than not, it is the little things that reveal their love and support far more than the big things.
Redditor ijuan6 was eager to learn about the small gestures made by their partners that made a lasting impact, leading them to ask:

"I ugly cried at the gesture and they all thought I was even crazier lol."

The 18-year-old eldest child of Donald Trump Jr. and ex-wife Vanessa and MAGA Republican President Donald Trump's eldest grandchild, Kai Trump, is drawing criticism for using the White House as a backdrop to sell overpriced sweatshirts.
Unveiled Thursday on Instagram, the $130 sweatshirts feature a K and T on the chest, her signature near the sleeves left cuff, and KAI on the yoke on the back. The homage to herself is in keeping with her grandfather's love of slapping his face or name on everything.
On Instagram, the now blonde Kai Trump shared photos from the White House lawn, captioned:
"Live now at Kaitrump.shop (link in bio)! This collection is something I’ve dreamed about for a long time, and I’m so grateful it’s finally here. Launching this line has been such an exciting project."
"From the quality of the fabric to the details in the designs, I wanted to create a piece that isn’t just merch but a staple you can wear anywhere."
"There are Clean pieces you can mix, match, and make your own. I can’t wait to see how you style them!"
The response, however, has been less than complimentary.
The very first comment on Kai Trump's Instagram post, liked over 660 times so far, says:
"Federal law (18 U.S.C. § 607 & § 610) and ethics regulations generally prohibit using government property, resources, or official positions for personal profit or campaign fundraising."

The most popular comment, with over 1,500 likes says:
"Would rather burn 130 dollars [than] buy that sweatshirt"

Across social media, those outside the MAGAsphere are giving Kai Trump's new clothing line a hard pass.
1) she hasn't been alive long enough to dream of something for a "long time" (She's 18)2) That is not STYLE. It's a logotype. And a kind of crappy one3) on a sweatshirt. for $1304) IN FRONT OF THE G-D WHITEHOUSE OMG YOU HEATHEN. & THE COLONNADE!

I agree. Made my stomach turn.Why the hell would anyone want to wear her initials on an expensive dumpy sweatshirt?I don’t keep up with teenage social media, but I do talk to my friend’s teenage daughters and they don’t even know who Kai Trump is.

Several people noted the design was far from original or creative.

Trump pimping his grandbaby Kai, who just so happened to drop a sweatshirt line of expensive, low-grade sweatshirts, and just happens to be wearing one, standing right beside him. Nice move grand-papie

While others called it a grift.




On Friday, Kai—now looking more like her Aunt Ivanka than her dad with her new hair color and style—was front and center with her grandfather.
Trump told the gathered reporters, "This is Kai, by the way," just before the pair boarded a helicopter to go to the Ryder Cup for more sweatshirt photo ops.
The Matrix's Keanu Reeves has been a beloved actor for years, and his privacy and life outside of Hollywood only serve to add to the allure. This, of course, includes his romantic relationships.
Dating for the past six years, with work relations and friendship in the years before that, Reeves and his girlfriend, visual artist Alexandra Grant, have kept the public curious about the status of their relationship beyond "dating."
Recently, a rumor circulated online, claiming that Reeves and Grant had quietly tied the knot.
An alleged insider claimed:
"It was so peaceful and full of love. It felt natural and real, like something that truly reflected who they are as a couple."
"Alexandra looked elegant in a simple gown, while Keanu, known for his humble and gentle nature, was said to be emotional when he saw her walk down the aisle."
But like many rumors that spread online, there was really no news, as both celebrities have confirmed.
In addition to Reeves' publicist confirming to E! News that, "[The rumor] is not true. They are not married," Grant created an Instagram post that had everyone in their feels.
In response to the rumors, Grant shared an incredible photograph from Roden Crater of the ascending stairs and the skylight above. At the base of the stairs, Grant and Reeves are pictured holding hands and kissing, though in everyday clothes.
Grant wrote in the caption:
"This is a real photo. Not an engagement photo or an AI wedding announcement... simply a kiss!"
"(Albeit maybe the moment right before or after it... given the slightly goofy expressions on our faces!)"
"We're at Roden Crater, and Keanu and Gard had just finished interviewing James Turrell for Visionaries."
"I'm sharing it here to say thank you to everyone for the congratulations on our wedding. Except we didn’t get married. Good news is much needed these days, but it's still fake news, so be careful out there! So, here's a bit of real happiness!"
You can see the Instagram post here:
Fans of the pair reassured Grant that they were a wonderful embodiment of love, no matter the state of their relationship.










Though it would undoubtedly be lovely to see Reeves and Grant marry, there's something so endearingly sweet and wholesome about the fact that they've held true to the relationship they want to have.
Marriage isn't for everyone. If Reeves and Grant marry, it should be on their terms, in their own time, and as subtly, elegantly, or over-the-top virally as they want it to be.
California Governor called out President Donald Trump for promoting misinformation online after Trump shared a fake AI-generated Fox News report claiming he'd be creating "MedBed hospitals" that magically cure people of illnesses.
Trump shared a fake video that looked like a clip from his daughter-in-law Lara Trump’s Fox News show. In the doctored split-screen, Lara appears to announce a “historic new healthcare system,” touting “America’s first MedBed hospitals” and a “national MedBed card for every citizen.”
The video then cuts to Trump himself, falsely shown saying that “every American will soon receive their own MedBed card,” as futuristic hospital footage—with podlike beds and sleek technology—flashes on screen. Trump is shown calling these facilities "safe" and pledging "the beginning of a new era in American healthcare.”
If that sounds insane to you, you'd be correct.
You can see the "news report" below.
Newsom has been trolling the Trump administration for weeks and swiftly criticized Trump for "posting AI-generated slop" online as his administration continues to stonewall Democrats over their healthcare demands as the government braces for a government shutdown that would cut vital services unless a funding deadline is reached.
Newsom said:
“Trump is about to shut down the government and rip health care from 20 million Americans. What’s he doing? Posting AI-generated slop about ‘miracle hospital beds’ that cure all illness.”
“DONALD TRUMP HAS LOST IT."
You can see his post below.
The misinformation Trump is promoting is so blatant that people joined Newsom in pushing back against it aggressively.
CNN fact-checker Daniel Dale—who has fact-checked Trump live on the air more than once—said the "MedBed" conspiracy theory is designed to sow disorder among the lower class, misleading them to believe “that society’s elite/the deep state already has secret access to medbeds, or that famously dead people like JFK are actually alive on medbeds.”
Meanwhile, Democrats say they will not support the Republicans’ proposed continuing resolution to keep the government open unless it includes an extension of the premium tax credit that helps subsidize health insurance for people earning between 100% and 400% of the federal poverty level.
Democrats have stressed that without that extension, millions could lose their coverage, and premiums across the Affordable Care Act marketplace would rise sharply.
Trump earlier declined to meet with House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries and Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer to negotiate as the funding deadline looms, saying he predicts a “long and brutal slog” ahead unless Democrats drop their demands.
