If there’s one thing Trump knows how to do, it’s get people talking. At this point, it feels like every other day he says or does something that makes headlines. And this time? It’s what he decided to put up right outside the Oval Office that has people doing a double take.
People are shocked by Trump’s choice of decor
Even for Trump, this one’s a pretty bold move. His latest White House decor choice is raising eyebrows all over social media. Turns out, the man has framed his own mugshot and put it on display outside the Oval Office.

A framed mugshot hangs outside the Oval Office
The 78-year-old had a meeting with India’s Prime Minister at the White House on Thursday (Feb 13). Cameras were clicking away as they sat at the Resolute desk, but in the background? The Oval Office door was open just enough to show something unexpected on the wall — a framed photo.
And not just any photo. Instead of a piece of art or a family picture with Melania, Trump went ahead and hung up his now-iconic mugshot in a fancy gold frame. Yep, right there for everyone to see.
Trump displays a newspaper cover featuring his mugshot
Oh, and it’s not just the photo. It looks like he framed the entire front page of the New York Post covering his mugshot. Apparently, he’s been a big fan of the paper since the ‘80s, back when they used to feature him all the time.
He embraces the mugshot as a symbol of defiance
For most people, a mugshot is something you’d rather forget. But Trump? He turned his into a whole brand. His campaign used it nonstop, and his supporters ate it up. The guy even slapped it on merch and sold it to raise money for his election campaign.
The mugshot originates from his legal troubles
That photo was taken in 2023, right after he got convicted for falsifying business records linked to hush money payments to Stormy Daniels. And judging by the new Oval Office decor, he’s still pretty proud of it.
This comes just days after he was handed a penalty sentence — right before stepping back into office.
Trump remains a convicted felon but avoids prison time
So, yeah, he made history as the first U.S. president to be a convicted felon. But as of now, he’s not doing any time behind bars.
Public reaction is divided over Trump’s decor choice
As expected, reactions are all over the place. Some people on X (formerly Twitter) called him the “hardest guy,” while others just said, “Wild times.” One person admitted, “As much as I don’t like this man, that sh*t is fire, can’t even lie.”
But then there’s the other side, with comments like, “He’s always had poor taste. Not surprised.”
So, a mugshot in the White House? Just another day in Trump’s America!
