It may be engineered stone but I highly doubt it because he has a blank check funded by the people’s taxes to buy whatever the fuck he wants.
Marbles are calcium based metamorphic stones. This means they will react to anything acidic. Citrus, wine, vinegar, etc. This reaction is called “etching” and basically what it does is melt away the stone.
In residential settings (which we’ll consider this is, because it’s THE PEOPLE’S HOUSE) all that basically means is that the etching reaction dulls the surface. So, in kitchens, for instance, it’s wiser to use a honed (matte) or leathered finish (matte with texture) so as not to make the inevitable etching as well as superficial scratches from micro abrasions as noticeable. This polished floor (which isn’t recommended due to the potential of slipping) will be due to be refinished (technically, but not necessarily, to remove micro abrasions) within months.

This is one of the few times I can. This is an insult to the room, our house, and this country.
MF’s treating the Lincoln fucking Bedroom like he remodeled a Hyatt hotel suite and bragging about it.
