Trump has a copy of the Resolute Desk on display in the Mar-a-Lago lobby

I see the same gold-plated tacky decorations on the walls.

It is certain that Trump is stealing priceless artifacts.

Is this one of them?

There are actually three Resolute Desks. One large desk gifted to the United States, and two smaller desks used in Britain, with one now located in the National Museum of the Royal Navy in Portsmouth and the other on the Royal Yacht. The one in the White House's Oval Office was made from the timbers of the H.M.S. Resolute and was presented to President Rutherford B. Hayes in 1880.

The Theo. Roosevelt desk is the one that is in the Eisenhower Executive Office building that the Pres. and VPs have signed inside the drawers. I wonder which name Vance will use when/if he signs it?'

For $500 less, you can buy one from Wayfair.
