Overview
- Neither the White House nor Trump’s team has confirmed any relocation of the original desk to Florida.
- The claim spread after the X account Patriot Takes shared an image of a desk behind velvet ropes at Mar-a-Lago.
- Online observers, including Benjamin Ze’ev, highlighted missing carved details and off dimensions inconsistent with the Resolute Desk.
- Multiple reproductions of the Resolute Desk exist, including a copy at the John F. Kennedy Presidential Library in Boston.
- Earlier this year the White House said the Resolute Desk was moved out for light refurbishment, with a C&O desk installed in the Oval Office.
