Since returning to office last month, Donald Trump has made some massive changes.

As of 20 February, the US President had signed 73 executive orders – the most in a president’s

first 100 days in more than 40 years – and it doesn’t look like he’ll be slowing down any time soon.

More recently, Trump has turned his hand to interior design, removing an ‘iconic’ piece of furniture from the White House.

The 78-year-old has revealed that he’s removed the Resolute Desk from the Oval Office.

This desk, which was used by his predecessors Barack Obama and
Joe Biden, was crafted from the British exploration ship the HMS Resolute and was

gifted to President Rutherford Haye by Queen Victoria in 1880.

Now, Trump has decided to bring in a ‘beautiful but temporary’ replacement,

the C&O Desk, while it undergoes refurbishments.

Writing about the decision on Truth Social, he wrote: “A President, after election,

gets a choice of 1 in 7 desks,” (in reality, they get a choice of one in six).

“This desk, the C&O, which is also well-known and was used by President George H.W.

Bush and others, has been temporarily installed in the White House while the Resolute

Desk is being lightly refinished—a vital job. This is a beautiful, but temporary replacement!”

The decision to change desks comes just days after Elon Musk’s 4-year-old son, X, appeared to pick his nose and rub the desk during a Q&A session about the Department of Government Efficiency or DOGE.

The little boy, who has the rather unfortunate full name of X Æ A-12, fidgeted, babbled and looked completely bored when he joined his dad at work.

And, at one point, this youngster even wiggled his finger around in his nostril before seemingly wiping it on the iconic desk.

Following the New York Post shared the news of the Resolute Desk’s refurbishments alongside a snap of X digging for gold on Instagram, users were quick to take to the comments to share their opinions.

“I noticed the top was looking warn out when he was doing all his order signings. It was due with or without the kids snot.”, one person wrote.

Another said: “I personally don’t like people who bring their kids everywhere. If your kid isn’t extremely well behaved and silent, why are you bringing them to a work meeting?” And a third joked: “I would’ve got rid of it too.”

The President is yet to reveal the reason for the desk’s refurbishments.
