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.

1. How do we know it is not the real desk?

It is certain that Trump is stealing priceless artifacts.

Is this one of them?

2. Excellent point

[riversedge]

3. I, for one, certainly have no idea if it is the original or the copy.

10. Yes of course we don't know. But Trump is a psychopath criminal.

And has a history of theft from the items belonging to all Americans.

5. It is roped off...

which could indicate that it's actually the original.

6. For $9k you can buy your own replica of the "Resolute Desk" from the National Archives Store.

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.

8. Has it been returned yet from being lightly refinished?

9. He doesn't deserve anything more than an 'orange' crate.
