"We're going to be going over to the beautiful Oval Office, one of the great offices in history, even if it wasn't beautiful, it's the Oval Office, but it is beautiful, and we love the Oval Office," Trump said at the Capitol One Arena on Monday following the inauguration ceremony at the Capitol. "Wars start and then there. Everything starts and ends at the Oval Office."
Trump has a well-known affinity for Diet Coke and has repeatedly shared that he does not drink alcohol given his brother, Fred Trump Jr., died from complications of alcoholism in the early 1980s.
On Monday, the Journal noted that a portrait of George Washington was now hanging over the fireplace in the Oval Office, and portraits of Alexander Hamilton and Thomas Jefferson were on each side.

The Oval Office also has new silver eagle figures on the fireplace mantel as of Monday.
Like he had during his first term, Trump again has a portrait of Andrew Jackson in the Oval Office. The one from four years ago was on loan from the U.S. Naval Academy, while the one added on Monday is from the White House art collection, the Journal reported, citing a White House aide. Trump has resonated with Jackson, whose populist, anti-establishment movement landed him in the White House despite critics of the time.

Trump kept Biden's addition of a Benjamin Franklin portrait, which the Democrat initially chose to represent a focus on science.
