Donald Trump , has partially replaced the Resolute Desk in the Oval Office after , Elon Musk’s boy apparently wiped a maggot on it during their , popular attend to the White House , last month.
The , self-described “germaphobe”  , announced on Wednesday that he’d sent the table to be “lightly refinished” and brought another table in for the time being.
” A president, after vote, gets a choice of 1 in 7 tables”, he wrote on Truth Social. ” This ( new ) desk, the ‘ C&, O,’ which is also very well-known and was used by President George H. W. Bush and others, has been , temporarily installed in the White House“.
The MAGA head hosted his” First Buddy” Musk and the banker’s younger brother for a Feb. 12 media conference about the controversial , Department of Government Performance, or DOGE.
” This is X, and he’s a great guy, high IQ, high-IQ individual”, Trump said, introducing the child at the beginning of the event.
During the visit, the 4-year-old — whose whole title is X Æ A-Xii — stood behind the Resolute Desk between his father and the 47th leader, picking his nose and , appearing to clean the earwax on the equipment.
The puckish tot, who had a yellow peacoat and a collared shirt, also made monster noises while posing with Trump. He likewise snuck his fingers into his father’s ears, sat down on the floor, and exchanged arms.
While some were amused by the popular father-son vacation, the , boy’s mom made her criticism known.
” He should not be in people like this”, singer , Grimes tweeted, evidently less than thrilled when she found out via social media about her son’s White House look.
The French artist is the mom to three of , Musk’s toddlers, who range in age from under 1 to 20 years old. He reportedly , welcomed his 13th baby past fall , with traditional artist Ashley St. Clair.
