In tfg oval office was unbearable.


I would if I was redoing the oval as president it would be done in subtle rainbows and lots of cat statues scattered about and 2 big stone Sekhmet statues as tall as I am flanking the desk. The Egyptian Gods would be there scattered about the room.Than of course I'd pick the potraits and presidents Biden chose I like who he picked but I would add Jimmy Carter and Obama.
And pictures of Othello on the credenza . Keep the resolute desk because it's beautiful and has a great history. It would be tasteful not tacky..

that for a long time the only family picture TFG displayed was of his father.

Later on he eventually added more (his mother was also prominently displayed, more so than Melania or the kids) so I would guess someone else finally figured out the optics were off.

I was going to ask about how we don’t see Joe in the Oval near as much but I found this. Bored Panda is always an interesting look.

As I’ve understood it, the Oval is used for ceremonial stuff and can be quite intimidating. Usually POTUS does most of their time in the office that’s beside the Oval. Trump just sat in their making it loses much of its value.

Do that kind of chair thing with thier subs when doing M/s stuff.

Trump doing that is a reflection of his overbearing narcissistic ego.

He is master of nothing that's why those chairs are there.
His acting out with those chairs is totally inappropriate in the oval office. Proves tfg is a master of nothing.
