Trump was likely grateful that Joe Biden didn’t replace the drapes Trump had installed in his first term, but in his second term his garish taste revealed itself further.
Trump has turned the neoclassical, Palladian-Georgian Oval Office into a gaudy, cheap fake-gold, blinged out eyesore.
Since President Donald Trump moved back into the White House in January, it has undergone some major decorative changes. The Swedish ivy that perched upon the mantle has been replaced with golden vases from the White House collection. And the room, overall, has just gotten noticeably more shiny and gold.
Looking at photos taken in the Oval Office this week with El Salvadoran President Nayib Bukele, we noticed several decorative medallions applied to the marble fireplace, and the same ones stuck on the wall under portraits in gilded frames.
