This weekend is a time to commemorate the significant events of the death and resurrection of a carpenter from Nazareth, which have become pivotal moments in history. The celebrations surrounding these events have evolved over time, giving rise to various traditions that hold great importance.
When we think of Easter today, one of the first things that may come to mind is decorating eggs. Even in the current economic climate, the tradition of egg decoration remains strong. As Easter approaches, many people are rushing to dye eggs for the upcoming egg hunts, hoping to find them all before they start to emit an unpleasant odor.
If dyeing eggs is not your preferred method of decoration, you might be interested in exploring other creative ways to make them stand out. For example, Martha Stewart has popularized the use of gold leaf to elevate egg decoration to a whole new level of sophistication. Known for her exquisite taste, Martha Stewart’s innovative ideas can add a touch of glamour to any Easter celebration.
Well, here she is on one of the morning shows applying gold leaf to an egg and chatting it up with the hosts when she mentions that “Our President loves gold leaf, too.”

They are right, too. That gilded wooden egg does look like the Oval Office.

Let’s be honest: no one in modern American politics has cared more about decorative flourishes than Trump. George Washington had Mount Vernon, Jefferson had Monticello, and Trump has Mar-a-Lago, a place that looks like what would happen if Southern Living threw a Gatsby party at a Mediterranean villa. He doesn’t just host dignitaries—he stages full-on scenes. If Martha Stewart is the queen of domestic staging, Trump is the king of aesthetic bravado. He even made the Resolute Desk look like a prop in a high-end casino suite.
Sure, Martha Stewart never had a gold-plated toilet (as far as we know), but she did go to prison and come out more fabulous than ever. While Trump never went to prison, he was indicted and found guilty. While I am not saying that being in legal trouble makes you more fabulous, it would be irresponsible of me as a journalist to discount the possibility.
What I am saying, though, is that Trump may respect that energy. In a way, they’re kindred spirits. They are unbothered by criticism, loyal to their brands, and completely committed to making every room—and every moment—look like it costs more than your mortgage.
So no, he may not be folding napkins into swans anytime soon, but in terms of flair, presentation, and an undying commitment to “making things nice,” Trump might just be Martha Stewart with a political action committee.
Actually, can Trump get Martha on an executive committee to focus on beautifying The Swamp? That would be
