A viral claim has sparked debate: did former US President Donald Trump move the historic Resolute Desk to his Mar-a-Lago estate? The 19th-century desk, gifted by Queen Victoria, was last seen at the White House in February 2025. Trump announced the desk's removal for 'light refurbishment,' replacing it with a C&O desk. However, a photo emerged claiming the Resolute Desk was spotted at Mar-a-Lago. Despite the photo's authenticity remaining uncertain, experts agree the desk in the image bears resemblance to the iconic piece. The White House has yet to confirm the desk's location. Trump had initially stated the C&O desk would serve as a temporary replacement, but it remains in the Oval Office to this day. The truth behind the Resolute Desk's current whereabouts remains unclear, leaving many questions unanswered.
