Native New Yorker here.
I remember the first time I walked into Trump Tower.
I thought it looked like a giant, golden toilet.
Ian Hislop once described Trump’s taste in interiors as being somewhere between early Saddam Hussein and late Colonel Gaddafi. I can see that.
There used to be jokes about the 'Edifice Complex' that drove otherwise sane people to build bigger and bigger and ever more elaborate structures to show they world that they'd arrived.
I suspect it would be very impressive if it were actually gold and not rattle-can spray-paint "gold" from Big Lots.

This is a good read about how Trump managed to make himself hated by the Manhattan elites he was so desperate to impress.
the tl, dr is that he had promised to preserve a famous Fifth Avenue building's façade. Not only did he demolish it, he lied about the promise he'd publicly made.
It's a crust of dried urine.
You're confusing Trump and R. Kelly. Understandable mix up
It's hard to tell the difference when they both enjoy the piss of minors
