I suppose it's not a surprise but still gosh I'm shaking at the news we have a racist as most powerful man in world.

He's just moved it. Not removed it

glenthebattleostrich · 25/01/2017 16:45

He didn't. It is still there.

Lucked · 25/01/2017 16:45

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.

SheldonsSpot · 25/01/2017 16:47

He's moved it, not removed it.

And really, you're shaking? Really?

BizzyFizzy · 25/01/2017 16:48

He's added a bust of Winston Churchill :)

AnthonyPandy · 25/01/2017 16:52

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

MrsBernardBlack · 25/01/2017 16:53

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.

Lweji · 25/01/2017 16:54

He didn't.

Also, it's old news and already debunked.

Let the shaking and over reacting be done. MLK is still there Cake

ClaudiaNaughton · 25/01/2017 16:55

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

SheldonsSpot · 25/01/2017 16:56

There there OP, you can stop shaking now Hmm.

Lweji · 25/01/2017 16:56

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

LagunaBubbles · 25/01/2017 16:57

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

JustAnotherSilentOldNumber · 25/01/2017 17:08

I wish people would fact check before getting so worked up.

Creampastry · 25/01/2017 17:09

You're shaking..... get a grip

LouiseBrooks · 25/01/2017 17:11

I think Obama moved Churchill out and replaced with MLK

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.

Lweji · 25/01/2017 17:15

Much ado about busts.

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

originalmavis · 25/01/2017 17:15

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.

Megatherium · 25/01/2017 17:18

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

Slightlyperturbedowlagain · 25/01/2017 17:23

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

PausingFlatly · 25/01/2017 17:26

Oh god, Slightlyperturbed, please don't suggest that to him.

You know he would.

Dogivemeabreak · 25/01/2017 17:27

Check your facts before you make yourself look like an idiot. Biscuit

Lweji · 25/01/2017 17:29

Does he have a flag to hug rub against?
