Trump Quietly Removes MLK Bust from Oval Office

A bronze bust of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. has been quietly moved out of the Oval Office.

According to USA Today, the MLK bust was moved to Trump's private dining room as part of various changes the president made to the Oval Office, a White House official confirmed. The dining room, steps away from the Oval Office, is where Trump holds private meetings and lunches with senior staff.

More changes to the Oval Office under Trump include gold ornaments around the door frames, gold figurines on the fireplace mantle, and a framed copy of the Declaration of Independence behind blue velvet curtains.

The MLK bust was first installed in the Oval Office in 2009 by former President Barack Obama. The bust held its prominent place in the Oval Office during Trump's first presidential term.
