There is a new broom in the White House, and Joe Biden has wasted no time in sweeping up many of the signs that Donald Trump was once there. First he signed a handful of executive orders to reverse many of his predecessor’s decisions, then he turned his gaze to the Oval Office.
Gone are the artworks depicting America’s populist leaders and the military insignia that Trump brought with him in 2016. There are busts of civil rights activists and nods to the importance of unity and science.
Perhaps the most striking alteration was the removal of the Winston Churchill bust. Originally loaned to George W Bush by Tony Blair in 2001, it was removed by Barack Obama in 2009, a move that then-London Mayor Boris Johnson called a “snub to Britain.”
When Donald Trump came to power in 2017, he reinstalled Churchill’s bust in the Oval Office and proudly displayed it to Theresa May on her visit. In its place now, by order of Mr. Biden, is the bust of Reverend Martin Luther King Jr.
