RADAR Online confirmed source information from a new book that President Donald Trump likes to wander around the White House gluing goldish bits and gewgaws onto walls \u2014 but it doesn\u2019t sound much better the way anonymous White House sources frame it.<\/p>\n

Regime Change: Inside the Imperial Presidency of Donald Trump<\/em>, a book by New York Times reporters Maggie Haberman and Jonathan Swan, claims Trump has been personally decorating the White House by using a tube of super glue to jam gold ornamentation over the historic building. But RADAR\u2019s sources say Trump\u2019s little glue pen is nothing new.<\/p>\n

“A source familiar with the White House told Radar the episode reflected Trump’s highly personal approach to the presidency rather than an isolated incident,\u201d reports reporter Aaron Tinney. <\/p>\n

“People around him understand that if he has an idea about how something should look, he’s likely to carry it out himself. It has become part of the way the White House operates under this administration,\u201d said one source. “But it comes across as the behavior of a demented old man with tacky tastes.”<\/p>\n

“The president likes to oversee every detail of his surroundings. Whether it’s a major construction proposal or a decorative flourish inside the Oval Office, he wants the final result to reflect his own taste and vision,\u201d said another source, speaking of Trump\u2019s arty tidbit additions.<\/p>\n

Another insider said Trump’s involvement in the d\u00e9cor had become well known among staff members.<\/p>\n

The book has already unleashed several revelations about Trump’s second term and it \u201cportrays a president driven by grievances, instinct and an intense desire to reshape Washington in his own image,\u201d according to Radar.<\/p>\n

Revelations include just how impenetrable Trump\u2019s \u201chermetically-sealed bubble,\u201d of misinformation and flatter is in his second administration.<\/p>\n

\u201cHis aides are not eager to bring criticisms to him \u2014 in fact, mostly they keep them away from him, because they know there’s a limited amount of capital that they’re willing to spend by being the one to say, \u2018Hey, here’s some bad news,\u2019\u201d Swan told an MS NOW anchor on Wednesday.<\/p>\n

Other disclosures include Trump\u2019s habit of letting trash collect around his living quarters, his isolation from the First Lady and his habit of throwing out expensive silver White House cutlery and utensils.<\/p>\n

Trump is a compulsive all-night social media crawler, as indicated by his outlandish, hours-long chain posts and his perpetual narcolepsy during meetings and press engagements. But Haberman and Swan say all that overnight online raging comes complete with a long string of fast food and the resulting trash and wrappers.<\/p>\n
