Trump's Gold Phones Spark Criticism Amid Gas Price Woes

Two new gold-finished Cisco phones have become an unexpected talking point in the White House. The phones, which feature a presidential seal on the keypad and lettering identifying Donald Trump as 'The President', were spotted on Trump's Resolute Desk by Fox News correspondent Peter Doocy during a recent event.

Trump confirmed that the phones were new when asked about them by Doocy. He then showed them off to travel executives attending an event focused on summer tourism. The phones match the gold-heavy decor Trump has added to the Oval Office since returning to office.

Critics have been quick to point out the extravagance of the gift, with one media strategist arguing that it's tone-deaf given Americans' struggles with gas prices.
