But the Republican presidential hopeful insists that if he were to eventually make it to the White House, he wouldn’t impart his signature gold palette on the West Wing.

“If I were elected I would probably look at the White House, and maybe touch it up a little bit,” he says. “But the White House is a special place you don’t want to do too much touching.”

For now, the family is enjoying their gilded Manhattan home.

“This is a special place. It’s at the top of Trump Tower and it’s been home for a long time,” he says. “It’s just been a warm, wonderful place. It’s been a wonderful place to raise children and work and do all the things you have to do in life.”
