Transcript

00:00The Resolute Desk has been fired.

00:03Just a week after Elon Musk's four-year-old son

00:07went viral for picking his nose

00:08and wiping the remnants on President Donald Trump's desk

00:12during a press conference about the administration's

00:14new Department of Government Efficiency,

00:16the Commander-in-Chief is now swapping out

00:19his office furniture.

00:21With the president taking to a social media platform,

00:23Truth Social, February 19th,

00:26to share a picture of his new desk

00:28in the Oval Office writing,

00:30a president after election gets a choice

00:32of one in seven desks.

00:34This desk, the C&O, which is also very well known

00:37and was used by President George H.W. Bush and others,

00:41has been temporarily installed in the White House

00:44while the Resolute Desk is being lightly refinished.

00:46A very important job.

00:48This is a beautiful but temporary replacement.

00:52The C&O desk, constructed in 1920

00:55for the owners of the Chesapeake and Ohio Railway,

00:58was later donated to the White House

00:59and has previously only been used

01:01by former President George H.W. Bush in the Oval Office.

01:06However, some are wondering if this desk swap

01:08may be more than just a simple rearranging of furniture,

01:12as President Trump has long been open

01:14about his fear of germs.

01:16I'm also very much of a germophobe, by the way.

01:20In fact, the 78-year-old's first term in office

01:23was jokingly dubbed the Purell Presidency

01:25by political commentators

01:27after White House aides revealed

01:29that the president used the alcohol-based sanitizer

01:31compulsively every time after shaking someone's hand.

01:35So let's just say it's safe to assume

01:38the Commander-in-Chief was not impressed

01:40with the gift Elon's son left on his desk.
