Oval Office Desk Where Musk’s Son Seemed To Wipe His Finger Is ‘Being Lightly Refinished,’ Trump Says
Trump will temporarily use a desk once used by the elder President Bush.

President Trump says the famous Oval Office desk where Elon Musk’s son seemed to wipe his finger after picking his nose during his father’s impromptu press conference is now out for a light touch-up. In the meantime, the president is using a desk once used by the elder President Bush.
Mr. Trump announced late Wednesday night that the Resolute Desk — which is the one most often used in the Oval Office — would be removed from the room temporarily while it is being “lightly refinished.” The decision to swap out the desk came just days after Mr. Musk’s son was seen picking his nose while standing next to the president, and wiping his finger on the surface.
