@DennisinPeoria :
I actually believe the Resolute Desk was a gift to the American people, bestowed on then President Rutherford B Hayes in 1880. It was one of two constructed for Queen Victoria from the recovered timbers of the HMS Resolute - which sank in 1854 and the sunken remains of which were found a year later following the northwest passage's thaw. The salvage was returned to England and then the Queen commissioned two desks from the hull. One she maintained and the other brought to the US and presented to the then President Hayes in 1880 as a thank you for the return of the ship. It's major claim to fame is simply its significant presence in the Oval office. Although the current occupant of the office of president is not the first to remove it from the Oval Office - he is in fact the first to remove it from the premises of the White House.
 
It is a shame to be seen as a museum-esque oddity presented for onlookers to that swampy toilet of a building - but guess you need somewhere to file all those classified documents.

Seems to be some serious questions as to the validity of the meme. Snopes says false.

Photo from Nov. 6th appears to show DJT standing behind the finely carved desk.

The desk in the meme is not very clear and cannot really see any quality carving on it.
I certainly hope it is the real Resolute Desk in the oval office and a reproduction on display at Mar-A-Lago.

Unfortunately AI and other Deepfake abilities will only makes things look so real, people won't be able to see past the fake.

And now that we've determined the desk meme to be fake, where the hell is the desk?

Trump and his loyalists claim that the Epstein Files are a hoax. OK, release all of the information in the files and prove it. Seems pretty simple. And then if Trump is proven innocent (🙄) he can file yet another lawsuit for defamation of character. Stop wasting time, money, and effort.

I have always thought that politicians should be held to a higher standard. Instead we have the exact opposite.

I was better off with Biden. This country sure seems to be on fire.
