Trump transforms Oval Office into opulent gallery
cnn.com —
President Donald Trump is significantly altering the Oval Office's decor since returning to office, adding nearly 20 paintings and numerous gold figurines and ornaments. The space now resembles his Mar-a-Lago estate, with a focus on opulence. Plans are underway to revamp the Rose Garden and potentially build a new ballroom on the South Lawn, inspired by his Florida property. Trump has reviewed multiple blueprints for these projects, although their future remains uncertain. The Oval Office now features a crowded display of portraits and memorabilia, with Trump favoring a more ornate style compared to previous presidents. Changes include the removal of traditional elements and the addition of gold artifacts and decorative pieces.
