WASHINGTON, DC: Two photos of the Oval Office have gone viral on the internet, showing the difference in decor under Joe Biden and Donald Trump.

The White House tweeted a photo on Monday, April 7, that showed the 47th president holding a meeting with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, as reported by the HuffPost.



 

The picture gave a glimpse of the decor showing the government building adorned with gold ornaments, picture frames, and more.

Viral photos show stark difference in Joe Biden and Donald Trump's preferences

The Associated Press' Michelle L Price then shared a photo of the same office while former President Joe Biden was in power.

The old photo showed a a more toned-down aesthetic. 



 

Price wrote, "This picture from the White House really shows how many gold accents have been added to the Oval Office. This is how it looked last year."

Donald Trump supporters love his decor choice

Naturally, Donald Trump's supporters praised the current decoration, with one writing, "Interesting. The picture from the present looks better." Another said, "I see. So if Trump went with an Amish decor, you'd respect his administration, right? Nice Oval Office."

"This is what conveys power to the leaders of other countries. America has projected an image of weakness for too long. This is what I voted for," a person declared. 

Taking a dig at Biden, someone else wrote, "Biden’s office was empty, just like his brain." 



 



 



 



 

But there were many who were not amused by Trump’s decor.

Critics call Donald Trump's Oval Office transformation 'tacky'

A critic said, "Gold is a tyrant's favorite material," while another wrote, "Wow this looks like s**t. Tacky as hell. It looks cheap honestly."

A person expressed, "All that gold is tacky," whereas someone else noted, "Trump is so tacky lmao."

A person sarcastically wrote, "I'm shocked there isn't a framed picture of him in Butler after the questionable assassination attempt, with a speech bubble above his head that says, ‘fight fight fight!’ behind him."

"HaHa…what designer did this? Sorry, but that looks really gaudy. It had more class the way it was before," another comment read. 

One more quipped, "Russian oligarch decor 101," while another person added, "This is what happens when a man needs to try to make up for something he's insecure about. Seems to be a lot of making up here.tacky."
