Trump's lavish oval office makeover: Gold, grandeur, and more
After assuming the office of President of the USA, Donald Trump introduced significant changes to the decor of the Oval Office, opting for opulence. A clear difference between the room's current setup and that during Joe Biden's presidency can be seen in two photos published by an Associated Press reporter at the White House.
Upon his return to the White House, Donald Trump decided to make substantial changes to the Oval Office decor. The President introduced numerous gold elements that reflect his personal tastes. Among the new decorations are gold figurines, medals on the mantelpiece, and rococo-style mirrors. There is also a gold-plated paperweight with Trump's name on it.
The Oval Office also features gold eagles on side tables and cherubs brought from Mar-a-Lago. The TV remote control has even been adorned with gold. The room also contains a replica of the FIFA World Cup trophy, symbolizing the USA's co-hosting of the tournament next year.
The contrast in the official workplace of U.S. Presidents during Joe Biden's and Donald Trump's presidencies is highlighted in the post above on the platform X by an Associated Press reporter at the White House.
New decorations and memorabilia
Trump also introduced many new photos and memorabilia, including portraits of former presidents such as George Washington and Abraham Lincoln. The Resolute Desk once again features a button for ordering Diet Coke and a bust of Winston Churchill.
The President does not intend to stop with changes to the Oval Office. He also plans to transform the Rose Garden and build a new ballroom modeled after the one in Versailles. Trump emphasizes that these projects allow him to pursue his passion for real estate.
The changes introduced by Trump contrast with the minimalist style of his predecessors, such as Joe Biden and Barack Obama, who preferred more modern works by American artists.
