When the new president moves into the White houseThey have free hands to rearrange as suits them.
As president Donald Trump Participated in the inaugural ceremonies on Monday, dozens of staff worked furiously at the White House to bring out the personal belongings of former President Biden and enter Trump.
Some of the decors seen in the oval office belong to the president – such as family photographs of Biden and Trump exposed behind the Resolute Desus. But other objects, such as portraits of former presidents, tables, chairs and interesting things, belong to the collection of the White House and chooses them to be exposed to during their term.
The appearance of an oval office, from carpet to curtains and artwork on the walls, is a completely election of the president. Here’s a look at what Trump kept and what he rejected from his predecessor:
Retained: The Resolute Desk

All except the three US presidents since 1880 – LBJ, Nixon and Ford – used the famous table that Queen Victoria donated to President Rutherford B. Hayes that year. Trump used it in his first term, as well as Biden, and Trump was painted that he signs a series of executive measures at the table of his first day on Monday.
Removed: Portrait of President Franklin D. Roosevelt

When Biden assumed his duty, he hung a large portrait of the progressive hero of the FDR above the fireplace, which became the focus of the room. Biden’s intention was to pay tribute to the Roosevelt, who led the nation through great depression and World War II, while now they were facing another crisis during Pandemia Covid-19.
