Apologies for the slime here, but liberal friends simply cannot abide the fact that President Trump prefers Louis XIV's style from Versailles, so even though he has redecorated the Oval Office in the same way that every other president has, liberals are deriding Trump's obsession with gold. 

Now I'm not big on glitz and glamour, so I personally don't like the gold. What I find more interesting is that he now has the paintings of 20 presidents and other historical figures in the office, more than any other. I have tried several times today to get a list of all the presidential portraits now in the office, but I can't find one that is available for free. The best I can get is this list from the NYT, and this is in some order reflecting where they are on the walls. I removed the references to the statues, chairs, Resolute desk, etc. 

George Washington

Thomas Jefferson

James K. Polk

Martin Van Buren

Theodore Roosevelt

Benjamin Franklin 

John Adams

Theodore Roosevelt

Daniel Webster 

William Henry Harrison

Ronald Reagan

Andrew Jackson

Alexander Hamilton

James Monroe

Abraham Lincoln

Ulysses S. Grant

Franklin D. Roosevelt

John Marshall

Andrew Jackson

James K. Polk

Thoughts on what he's saying here with these choices?
