Just hours after President Donald Trump was sworn in for a second term, the White House revealed his Oval Office makeover.
Perhaps one of the most iconic and recognizable rooms in the world, the historic office has for centuries received a revamp at the start of each presidency.
The series of changes unveiled on Monday reveal what inspires the 78-year-old in an exclusive space where he will conduct some of the most powerful business meetings on the planet for the next four years.
A group of reporters received a first glimpse of the room as Trump signed a series of executive orders after the carefully choreographed changeover.
The revamp was made in just a matter of hours as staff quickly swept away signs of Trump’s predecessor Joe Biden.
His redecorated office features a series of items from Trump’s first term in office including his famous Diet Coke button, which gives the president the ability to summon a glass of his favorite beverage at a moment’s notice.
The office also pays homage to some of his favorite historic figures and features the portraits of a number of Trump family members.
One big change is that Trump has removed a bust of Robert F. Kennedy.
This comes as surprise, especially as Trump has nominated Kennedy’s son and close ally Robert Kennedy Jr. to be his Secretary of Health and Human Services.
The White House team also made other changes to the interior designs preferred by Biden.
One of the more obvious updates made as Trump resumes office is the deep blue rug that Biden had during his four years in office.
In a quickly executed flip, the rug was swapped out for a more neutral cream one that Trump previously had in the Oval Office during his first term from 2017 to 2021.
The rug was also featured in the Oval Office when former Republican President Ronald Reagan was its occupant in the 1980s.
While the rug was removed, which involved the Resolute Desk having to be taken apart, the gold curtains remain.
The drapes were actually a holdover from Trump’s first term in office which Biden had kept. They were first designed for President Bill Clinton’s Oval Office.
Another holdover is the bust of Martin Luther King Jr. which remains on display in the Oval Office as it did under Biden and during Trump’s first term.
In a similar choice from his first term, prominently displayed on the wall is a portrait of President Andrew Jackson who Trump has expressed a fondness for on multiple occasions.
Unlike the portrait on the wall during Trump’s first term, which was on loan from the U.S. Naval Academy, the current portrait hails from the White House art collection, according to the Wall Street Journal.
It’s on display between two military flags.
There is also a vase featuring Jackson on the bookshelf nearby.
Trump has declared himself a fan and even traveled to Tennessee to commemorate the seventh president’s 250th birthday during his first term in office.
On the wall on the other side of the Resolute desk is a portrait of President Abraham Lincoln.
Other portraits featured in the newly redecorated Oval Office include one of President George Washington, which hangs over the fire place just as it did in 2017.
It’s flanked by portraits of President Thomas Jefferson who was also the first secretary of state and Alexander Hamilton, the first treasury secretary.
A portrait of Benjamin Franklin which was on display in the Oval Office under Biden remains.
But a portrait of President Franklin Roosevelt prominently feature above the fireplace when Biden was in office has been removed with Trump’s return.
Another work making a return to the Oval Office with Trump is the bust of Winston Churchill. It was prominently featured during his first term but was removed by Biden and President Obama.
Another feature back in place is ‘The Bronco Buster’ sculpture by Frederic Remington, which also graced Trump’s office during his first term.
But also taken out of the Oval Office after Biden’s tenure was a bust of labor leader Cesar Chavez.
As Trump returns to power for the next four years, there have been some personal touches added.
The table features a series of Trump family photos taken over the years in gold frames including ones of the president’s late parents.
Also prominently displayed on the table behind his chair is a series of challenge coins featuring different states and agencies.
One of the most unique features from Trump’s first term making a return is famous diet coke button as Trump was known for calling on staff to bring his favorite soda.
As Trump signed a series of executive orders Monday evening, the button was already back on display ready to go to keep the cola coming.
