The cash-flashing Republican candidate has said he plans to redecorate the 416-year-old building at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue in Washington DC.

In an interview in People magazine Trump said: “If I were elected I would probably look at the White House, and maybe touch it up a little bit.”

But many fear that the over-the-top billionaire tycoon's version of "a little bit" might be something very drastic.

Trump's golden touch can be seen in most of his properties, which each display the motormouth's love for all things gold.

His personal $50million (£38.5million) residence at the top three floors of Trump Tower in New York is decorated in 24-karat gold, diamond and marble.

The 64-storey Trump Hotel on the Las Vegas strip shines in the sun because all the windows are also plated in 24-karat gold.

The newly opened Trump International Hotel, just down the road from the White House, was fully decorated in gold colours.

Gold paint covers the upholstery on chairs, the bar and even the radiators.

Back in February, White House staff confirmed that Donald Trump had offered to spend $100million (£77.2million) on redecorating the White House ballroom.

A White House press secretary said they rejected the proposal.

Press Secretary Josh Earnest said: “I’m (not) sure it would be appropriate to have a shiny gold 'Trump' sign on any part of the White House.”

"That's what most of the buildings that he offers to build include, so I'm unclear if something like that would have been required with this offer as well.

“I can tell you that this was not something that was at all seriously considered."

And it's not totally unusual for a president to change the decor of the White House.

Almost every president has left their mark on the historic building.

Gerald Ford installed a swimming pool in 1975 and in 1947 Harry S. Truman was gifted a bowling alley at the White House for a birthday present.

Jimmy Carter installed 32 solar panels in the ground of the White House in the 70s, that Ronald Reagan removed in 1981.

George W. and Laura Bush added low flow taps and toilets, solar heating and energy saving lighting.

While Franklin D. Roosevelt famously commissioned a modification of the Oval Office Resolute desk with a front panel to hide his wheelchair.

All of this appears to suggest that a potentially president Trump would be able to modify the White House to his liking.

And people on social media seem to really think the rumours might be true.

One Twitter user @Ataribaby said: “By 2021 the White House will be 101 storeys high. And coloured gold.”

Another user named @CaughtAMCELFISH wrote: "If Donald Trump becomes president he will probably paint the White House gold and put his name on it."

Neil Blaisdell predicted on Twitter: "Donald Trump will paint the White House a real classy shade of Gold."

Despite the rumours, Donald Trump has said: "It's gonna be clean. It's gonna be beautiful. It's gonna be well maintained. It's gonna be just like it is. I'm gonna be working — I'm not gonna be decorating."

But this hasn't stopped people thinking that the man who wants to build a mammoth wall across the North American continent might also want to pimp out the White House.
