Hell probably DOES know.
I hope they fumigated the place, THOROUGHLY! And sterilized everything to get all the trump off.

(12,470 posts)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..

(12,470 posts)I'd add a German shepherd,a few wolves great Dane and a pug Chihuahua mix. (that's the kind of dog my mom had)
and of course a chocolate lab,and lastly a black and white shitzu and a dalmation for my dog Mikey I had as a kid..
Does that fix the issue?

I_UndergroundPanther
(12,470 posts)Othello would be the only alive cat there.
Unless while there we get a second first kitten.
ShazamIam
(2,571 posts)the kitty cats. Othello might be offended surrounded by so many dog statues.
I_UndergroundPanther
(12,470 posts)He's ok with dogs.
ChazInAz
(2,569 posts)Just as a reminder to visitors as to who is really in charge!
A diminutive statue of Bastet to accompany Othello's portrait would be in order. Because.

There will be several Basts there including two larger than Lifesize ones maybe up to my hip flanking the door on the way out of the room.

dflprincess
(28,075 posts)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.

(27,045 posts)for meetings always bugged me. It was demeaning, and meant to be. Presidential meetings traditionally take place on the sofas at the other side of the room, not like an elementary school reading group.
underpants
(182,802 posts)I was going to ask about how we dont see Joe in the Oval near as much but I found this. Bored Panda is always an interesting look.
As Ive understood it, the Oval is used for ceremonial stuff and can be quite intimidating. Usually POTUS does most of their time in the office thats beside the Oval. Trump just sat in their making it loses much of its value.
I_UndergroundPanther
(12,470 posts)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.

(19,066 posts)Everything Trump decorates has to have gold in it, his hotels are tacky and full of gold plastic everywhere. These curtains were blue under Obama, the gold needs to go.

(9,665 posts)I agree though - they're hideous. Gold as a color never has been a favourite scheme of mine. Ditto on the carpet and couches.
