After dropping off his bags at the White House on Monday, Donald Trump not only signed a myriad of decrees, but also revised the decoration of the Oval Office.
Donald Trump’s strong return to the White House on Monday January 20 was marked by the signing of a host of decrees. The billionaire who returned to business after the debacle of 2020 intends to make up for lost time and put his foot down. Starting with the famous Oval Office, where the President of the United States officiates at the White House. Once invested, any new head of state has the right to revise the decoration to his liking, however using pieces from the White House collection. Donald Trump quickly passed on his decoration instructions, report American media including the Wall Street Journal who was able to visit the place. The changes would have been made even while Joe Biden was still there.
Undoubtedly the most striking element which marks the great return of Donald Trump to the Oval Office: a small red button. Discreetly hidden inside a wooden box, we are told, this famous button would allow Donald Trump to satisfy, without delay, one of his vices… Indeed, by pressing it, a butler is immediately alerted to the irrepressible desire of the 47th President of the United States to… drink a Diet Coca-Cola. This button had already been installed in the very serious Oval Office during the billionaire’s previous mandate. Obviously not to the taste of his successor, Joe Biden, he was removed when he came to power.
In addition to this magic button, which heavy consumers of the famous sparkling drink will undoubtedly envy of the new President of the United States, Donald Trump is said to have had the portrait of the first American President George Washington and a bust of British Prime Minister Winston Churchill reinstalled. They had both been removed during Joe Biden’s term, unlike the bust of Martin Luther King which seems to appeal to both personalities, as do the gold curtains. Joe Biden’s blue carpet, on the other hand, was replaced by a carpet in yellow-orange tones.
Among the portraits displayed are also those of the founding fathers of the United States Benjamin Franklin, Alexander Hamilton and Thomas Jefferson. According to the New York Postthe sculpture The Bronco Buster, created by the artist Frederic Remington and symbol of the conquering and heroic spirit which prevailed in the United States during the conquest of the West, has made its “come back”. Finally, two sculptures of silver eagles now adorn the fireplace of the Oval Office.
