If you had any doubts about whether or not Trump plans to leave in 2028, the signs keep piling up. From taking over DC, to replacing the Rose Garden with a patio, to planning a gigantic ballroom...
And now this: Trump wants all federal buildings in DC to meet his standards of aesthetics (which is apparently alot of gold painted junk).

Trump is turning everything gaudy.

Trump Wants Every Federal Building to Look Like His White House
The president wants D.C. to look just the way he likes it.
Trump signed a presidential order on Thursday titled ‘Making Federal
Architecture Beautiful Again’ to ensure that courthouses and government office
buildings in Washington, D.C., are to his liking—and stick with the White House
aesthetic.
His order complained that the Design Excellence Program established in 1994
while Bill Clinton was president resulted in federal buildings that “sometimes”
impressed the “architectural elite” but not the American people. “Many of these
new Federal buildings are not even visibly identifiable as civic buildings,” he
stated.
The president now wants federal buildings to “embrace classical architecture to
honor tradition, foster civic pride, and inspire the citizenry.” He said the “timeless
architecture” of the White House and the Capitol Building is to be the “preferred
and default” style for federal buildings in Washington.
