Trump continues to adorn the Oval Office with gold, emulating a "Pimp My White House" renovation
The Oval Office, a symbol of the American presidency, has undergone a notable transformation during the administrations of President Joe Biden and his predecessor, Donald Trump. A series of two images, now labelled as "The Oval Office, then and now", have been shared, highlighting the stark difference in the tastes of the two presidents.
Under President Biden's administration, the Oval Office was kept quite understated. Portraits adorned the walls, and a green garland adorned the fireplace mantlepiece, creating a calm and dignified atmosphere. In stark contrast, during Trump's tenure, the Oval Office took on a more ornate look. Images show the area around the fireplace covered with an ornate gold scroll, a stark departure from the minimalist design of the Biden administration.
However, the posted images do not show any additions of gold to the Oval Office beyond the gold scroll and what was previously present during the administration of President Lyndon B. Johnson. Johnson had gold leaf and gold accents applied in the Oval Office during his term.
The changes in the Oval Office have been met with criticism, with some calling it "embarrassing" and likening it to "Pimp My White House". Others have expressed disapproval, stating that it does not reflect the dignity and seriousness that the Office of the President requires.
It is important to note that the images do not show Trump hanging an image of his infamous mugshot on the wall of the White House, nor do they show any bizarre jokes or comments from Trump. They also do not show any changes to the Rose Garden or any indication of energy or innovation-related events.
Another image pair has been posted, comparing the Oval Office during the Biden and Trump administrations. The images do not show Trump falling asleep at any event, as was often speculated during his term.
The transformation of the Oval Office under Trump's administration is a topic of ongoing discussion, with many expressing their opinions about the changes made. As the White House continues to evolve, it will be interesting to see how future administrations choose to shape this iconic space.
