Trump Drops Trio of Metallurgical Gaffes as He Brags About Shiny New Signs on Fox News

President Donald Trump made a rapid-fire series of metallurgical gaffes as he bragged about the shiny new signs festooning portions of the White House during a Fox News interview.

Since taking office for a second time, Trump has overseen massive changes to the physical features of the White House, including a gold-drenched Oval Office overhaul, a paved-over lawn in the Rose Garden, and a major demolition of the entire East Wing to make way for a massive ballroom.

There has also been a steady encroachment of golden accents and shiny new signs.

The president gave an interview that aired on Monday and Tuesday night editions of Fox News Channel’s The Ingraham Angle, during which the president showed off the new decor, including a sign for his “Presidential Walk of Fame.”

In the space of a few seconds, Trump claimed the sign was made of “bronze,” then performed an alchemical miracle by transforming it to “pure brass” — an oxymoron, since brass is an alloy that is, by definition, not pure — and that it was “carved” by hand:

PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP: Take a look at this, fellas, you want to see detail.

So, like this sign. Most people just do a sign, they paint it on the wall.

So that’s half-inch thick bronze carved by a very talented person. And it’s brass, it’s pure brass. It’s half-inch thick brass.

And you can’t just do that. That’s, you know, you look at that, that’s quality, right? And then we start with George Washington and we go down to…

LAURA INGRAHAM: Where are your speakers? Because I heard that they’re in the bushes. They’re all.

PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP: Yep, they’re all here.

LAURA INGRAHAM: When did you decide you were a frustrated DJ? How long?

PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP: Well, I don’t do that much, but I think having good sound is important, because we do now news conferences on this face.

You know, as you know, you were probably a victim to it. You’d stand in the grass, your high heels would be ruined, the women are walking out without.

So I had to make it a hard surface, so I made it the same color as the White House itself, which worked out great. We just moved the tables.
