He's just moved it. Not removed it

How long has it been there? Most presidents pick their own art I think. Doesn't look great but he maybe doesn't want the same art as Obama.

He's moved it, not removed it.

And really, you're shaking? Really?

He's added a bust of Winston Churchill :)

I think Churchill was moved to make space for MLK by Obama? Can anyone confirm that?

As PPs have said, MLK is still there. Churchill had been there for some time, but apparently Obama removed him when he became POTUS. Trump has put him back.

He didn't.

Also, it's old news and already debunked.

I think Obama moved Churchill out and replaced with MLK. I understood Churchill was reinstated but MLK is there also.

If you really want to be disgusted, there are more important Trump issues to be disgusted about.

Join us in the Trump BAD threads. It's all SAD and FAKE. Grin

Looks like you had better check your facts first before you shake with rage!

Obama himself didn't actually move Churchill from the Oval Office.

The bust was actually on loan to Dubya and when his term ended, it was returned - to the British Embassy I think. There is, however, a bust of Churchill outside the President's private quarters which was there throughout the whole of Obama's presidency.

Much ado about busts.

I'd be worried if Trump had put a different kind of bust on display. The 32D kind.

I dnt know what's real news these days (but I did think they'd moved it).

I suspect there are so many dodgy stories, accusations of lies and barefaced not-quite-truths thrown around so that everyone is just left scratching their heads not knowing what to believe.

Its like that comedy game show where someone has to talk about a subject and slip in a few whoppers amongst the truth and the panel has to guess what were the lies.

But we've known for a long time that he's a racist, haven't we? And a misogynist?

I'm sure he will soon be adding to the collection with a life-size figure of himself (in gold, naturally)
