MAJOR MOVE BY PRESIDENT TRUMP

Postby saxitoxin on Tue Jul 08, 2025 8:19 pm

President Trump today assembled the cabinet and the White House Press Corps to hear the philosophy of his design aesthetic. The President has just finished working on redecorating the Cabinet Room for the last several weeks and said he "picked all the art myself and I'm very proud of it." Trump also said he commandeered Macro Rubio's grandfather clock as part of the redecoration. The room looks FANTASTIC now and not the dump that it was during Biden.

This sent me on a mission to find out which photos Trump thought were 'bad'...

Found this in my hunt which shows alot has changed over the years.

The 1969 Nixon era one is funny, the room is bare with one large portrait and a bunch of ashtrays on the table.

Great Find, Mookie; THANKS for sharing.

I am struck by who else is in the room, including future Presidents in a few cases, where the President sits (middle or end?), that most in the room are white males, and the few details given in the captions. For one of the LBJ Photos, his son-in-law, Chuck Robb, was later the Governor of, then Senator from, VA for many terms. The Governor in VA can only serve one term; talk about Term LIMITS. It was interesting to see Betty Ford ON TOP of the Table after dancing there; a bit humorous and whimsical.

Mookie, here is the answer to your question: (I could not see the details enough to even hazard a guess.)

AI Overview
When Richard Nixon was in office, the Cabinet Room featured portraits of George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, and Theodore Roosevelt.

The choice of these portraits, and other art and objects within the White House during the Nixon administration, reflected the preferences of President Nixon and First Lady Patricia Nixon. In fact, Pat Nixon was particularly involved in acquiring artwork for the White House collection during this time.

In addition to the portraits mentioned above, busts of George Washington and Benjamin Franklin were placed in niches flanking the fireplace. A painting titled "The Signing of the Declaration of Independence" by Charles Édouard Armand-Dumaresq hung above the mantel. It's worth noting that the portraits displayed in the Cabinet Room, and throughout the White House, can change with each new administration to reflect the preferences and inspirations of the sitting president.
