It’s clear that he wasn’t a huge fan of the previous administration’s policies, but it turns out that he also wasn’t a fan of what Joe Biden did with the Oval Office either.

Sadly, we aren’t privy to the meetings that take place in there, but we can find out what it looks like.

So here’s a detailed look at the changes Trump has made since his return to the White House:

Portrait UpdatesDuring President Joe Biden’s administration, the Oval Office featured portraits of historical figures, including Founding Father Benjamin Franklin and President Franklin D. Roosevelt, per the Associated Press.

However, Trump has replaced Franklin’s portrait with one of Andrew Jackson, the seventh U.S. President, known for his controversial legacy. Additionally, the Roosevelt portrait has been swapped for an image of George Washington, the nation’s first president.

Trump has also reintroduced a bust of former British Prime Minister Winston Churchill, which had been a fixture during his initial presidency, per the Independent.

Military Flags ReturnThe five military service flags, representing each branch of the U.S. Armed Forces, have been reinstated around the Oval Office desk. These flags were a hallmark of Trump’s first term and have now made a comeback.

Personal TouchesAs with previous presidents, Trump has brought in personal photographs to decorate the space. Notable images include photos of his Scottish mother, Mary Anne MacLeod Trump, and snapshots of his children. These additions lend a familial feel to the historic office.

The ‘Diet Coke Button’One of the most talked-about features of Trump’s first term was the so-called “Diet Coke button” installed on the Resolute Desk.
