We need a metallurgist STAT (and not someone Trump hires).
Sheeeessss. Is this just like all his other ‘gold’?
Richest?
From what I’ve been able to find, this might just be an internet rumor.
Correct. What looks like “melting” is likely just weathering effects reflecting off the light in such a way to appear golden.
That looks like reflective scuff marks to me. If it was “melting” it wouldn’t look like that. It looks more like dust than anything wet.
The Mirror is a tabloid after all. It’s not an actual journalistic piece that does any sort of research or fact-checking.
Although it is sad that everyone’s first thought is that this was the result of a shitty renovation by Trump. Everything he touches turns to shit.
Yeah, it’s a completely rational assumption to make considering all of the physical destruction of various landmarks he has illegally wrought.
Looking at those statues at least he disproved the idea that you can’t polish a turd. In fact, he has shown that you can make a turd of anything by gilding it and then polishing it. TIL.
AI;dr
So this administration can’t even copy The Gilded Age right.
They never could do it because there never was a Gilded Age. Never in the history of mankind.
NBC News: Judge dismisses Trump’s $10 billion defamation suit against the WSJ over Jeffrey Epstein birthday card story
Note that the lawsuit was dismissed with prejudice which means it can’t be refiled.
Ketchup time. 
Not to defend the mango asshole, but… that is probably a lot like they looked when Italy first gave them to the US. They were gilded bronze, and this isn’t the first time they’ve been refurbished. I have to assume though that previous times were probably bided contracts that didn’t go stupidly over budget, and make the sitting president a bit of pocket change on the side so to speak.
WASHINGTON (AP) — The Supreme Court on Monday rejected the Trump administration’s push to force California to set aside thousands of ballots from people the federal government claims are noncitizens, a decision that came hours before the final day of voting in the pivotal midterm elections.
The high court refused to immediately intervene in a case involving 20,000 people the Republican administration flagged as likely noncitizens on the largely Democratic state’s voter rolls.
The swift rejection capped a string of losses for the president’s effort to intervene in the election before the counting of ballots to decide who controls Congress in the last two years of his second term. No justices publicly dissented.
A unanimous decision, amazing.
I’ve read of a few Trump losses recently regarding that bullshit. Nice to get one from the Supremes, as well. Those motherfuckers.
(ETA: Unanimous? Well. Still motherfuckers.)
Not necsaarily. These denials are typically just “issued.” Some justices might have disagreed, but didn’t want (for whatever reason) to note their dissent publicly.
