The 45th president of the United States, Donald Trump, did not only made changes in the country but also inside the White House. Trump has decided to move, add and even eliminate objects in the most popular residence in the U.S. and this article gives a rundown of all the changes.

One of the first things Trump asked in the White House is his favorite Lay's potato chips placed in his private kitchen, according to CNN. This is a huge change from the last two president, George W. Bush and Barack Obama, more healthy preference. This is followed by a new addition to the busts in White House. Now, a Winston Churchill bust joins Martin Luther King Jr in the Oval Office.

As for the things removed in the White House, Realtor.com reported that Trump had to let go the big circle rug that features a quote from MLK Jr and four previous presidents of the country in exchange of the rug from Bush' administration designed by former first lady, Laura Bush. According to the president, the changes had to be done to reflect a more positive outlook in the White House.

The next object added in the president's house, particularly in the Oval Office is a portrait of Andrew Jackson. This change makes a lot of sense as Jackson is said to be the first populist president in the country and is frequently invoked by the president's supporters. In addition, Trump had to let go of the usual gray suede couch to a more expensive cloth called brocade.

Although many changes were made, Trump didn't entirely redecorate the whole house as there were things that the president considered very beautiful. This includes the phones particularly because of its secure system that makes it impossible for anyone to listen in. Another object in the White House the president preferred to keep is the desk which is the very same desk that many previous presidents used including Obama, Bush, Clinton, Reagan, and Kennedy.
