WASHINGTON (AP) — It took just a few hours for President Donald Trump to give the Oval Office a makeover, including some fresh gold trim. There were changes from floor to ceiling as the White House brought reporters into the Oval Office on Friday evening for the first time since Trump became president at noon. Gone was the giant, circular "quote rug" that took up most of the room when Barack Obama was in charge, featuring quotes attributed to former presidents lining the perimeter. Trump spokesman Sean Spicer tweeted a photo of it sitting on a small wooden desk in the Oval Office, and said White House chief of staff Reince Priebus had taken the photo.
