Had someone brag about one of these hideous things at work, shortly after election. He was so excited to show it off. Haven't seen him or his ugly gold lump since then.

You think it's gold?

Anyhow, it's jarring to meet such people IRL. I don't live in the USA (I guess I'd be constantly jarred if I did) but even so I had a Trumpist coworker once - it was jarring.

It's probably not even metal, cheap Chinese plastic covered in cheap metallic gold paint.
