Donald Trump returns to the Oval Office: What are the additions?
Washington, D.C.: Donald Trump, now serving as the 47th President of the United States, has revamped the Oval Office as part of his return to the White House. His modifications include a portrait of Andrew Jackson, a choice previously criticised due to Jackson's history as a slave owner and his role in the forced displacement of Native Americans.
Trump's Oval Office now features portraits of George Washington, Alexander Hamilton, and Thomas Jefferson. The bust of Winston Churchill has been reinstated, while Martin Luther King Jr.'s bust remains in place. A sculpture titled The Bronco Buster by Frederic Remington is positioned under Jackson's portrait. Meanwhile, a bust of Robert F. Kennedy, which was displayed during Joe Biden's presidency, has been removed.
The President has personalised the space with silver eagle figurines, a square paperweight bearing his name, and family photos near the Resolute Desk. The gold curtains from his first term have been retained, replacing Biden’s blue rug with a neutral-coloured one used during Ronald Reagan's presidency.
Trump’s famous "Diet Coke" button, which signals White House staff to serve his favourite beverage, is back on his desk. Outside the Oval Office, Biden’s chocolate chip cookies have been replaced with flowers and a gold paperweight embossed with "Trump."
