Donald Trump is sitting behind a new desk.
More than one week after Elon Musk and Grimes’ son X Æ A-Xii Musk, 4, went viral for picking his nose by the Resolute Desk during a visit to the White House Oval Office, the President shared he has opted to use a different desk for the time being.
“A President, after election, gets a choice of 1 in 7 desks,” Trump wrote on his Truth Social account Feb. 19. “This desk, the ‘C&O,’ which is also very 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 very important job. This is a beautiful, but temporary replacement.”
Trump, who didn’t elaborate on the reason for the switch, added that he would be “a beautiful, but temporary replacement.”
The president had used the Resolute Desk during all four years of his previous presidency, which ended in 2021, and has also used it several times since he was inaugurated Jan. 20 for his second term, including to sign executive orders.
