Trump-Vance Team Releases Pictures, Details About Trump Oval Office 2.0
President Donald Trump and Vice President J.D. Vance’s team released pictures and details about the changes to the newly redecorated Oval Office for Trump’s second administration.
In the Wall Street Journal piece published on Monday, one picture showed that Trump’s Oval Office 2.0 included a fresh Andrew Jackson painting which hails from the White House art collection, along with a portrait of Benjamin Franklin, which former President Joe Biden had added to the Oval Office, which Trump has opted to keep.
Under Jackson’s painting is the return of the sculpture called “the Bronco Buster” by Frederic Remington, which was also part of Trump’s first presidency.
It is all part of the redecorating of the Oval Office done by each president — which takes place within hours of the former administration and president’s departure and before the newly sworn-in leader and his staff arrive.
One White House aide told the WSJ that by 10:58 a.m., the blue rug that Biden used had been swapped out for the more neutral one previously used by Trump. However, it was so large that part of the massive Resolute Desk had to be taken apart so the rug could be placed under it.

New silver eagle figures now rest over the mantel as part of the fireplace along with the return of flags for each branch of our military, previously removed by Biden.
Trump has also once again returned the bust of Winston Churchill to the Oval Office where it rests on a table close to the fireplace. There is also a bust of Martin Luther King Jr. which Trump and Biden alike displayed in the office during their presidency.

There was of course the usual sight for a president’s first day in office, which was a tray of black pens on the Resolute Desk that the president used to sign a whole host of executive orders, just hours after he was sworn-in as the 47th President of the United States.
What hasn’t changed from Trump’s first Oval Office decor was the hanging of portraits of Alexander Hamilton and Thomas Jefferson along with a portrait of George Washington which hangs over the fireplace.
And of course the unusual addition to any office, the return of the Diet Coke valet button on the Resolute Desk that Trump used previously to order his favorite beverage.
Typically presidents bring their own special touch to each Oval Office, like former President Barack Obama having a bowl of apples available on the coffee table near the fireplace. On Monday, that table included the addition of a square gold paperweight embossed with the word Trump on it and a bouquet of flowers.
