More gold decorations in government buildings?

During his first term, Trump had some contempt for modern design and wanted more retro looks for public buildings. I guess this is more or less on the same direction, but now covering digital assets as well.

It's not a terrible idea - other governments do that, with great success. I've worked with the Brazilian government on some similar initiatives, and the UK has been very successful with their online design work, inspiring other countries to follow.
