Trump Ditches Resolute Desk After Musk’s Toddler Nose-Picking Incident

In a whirlwind of presidential antics, Donald Trump has officially swapped out the iconic Resolute Desk in the Oval Office—just a week after an amusing (and slightly uncomfortable) moment went viral featuring Elon Musk’s son, X Æ A-Xii, engaging in some good old fashion nose-picking right behind the desk. Yes, the same desk that’s hosted historical figures and monumental decisions.
In a post on Truth Social, Trump casually announced his decision on February 19, stating he’s temporarily transitioned to the lesser-known ‘C&O’ desk, previously occupied by legends like George H.W. Bush. He reassured us that the change was due to necessary refinishing on the Resolute Desk—something he described as a “very important job.” But let’s be real, we can’t help but wonder if the little one’s infamous moment played a role in this switcheroo.
The scene unfolded during a press conference on February 12, where Trump welcomed Musk and the toddler, X Æ, into the Oval Office. While discussing the Department of Government Efficiency (or DOGE—yes, like the cryptocurrency), the young Musk quickly became the center of attention, leaving Trump speechless except for his praise. “This is X, and he’s a great guy—high IQ,” Trump acknowledged. A bit ironic, considering the whole nose-picking incident, but hey, kids will be kids, right?
And speaking of Musk, the CEO of Tesla and SpaceX has been making headlines recently, especially with the news that he’s about to welcome his 13th child with conservative influencer Ashley St. Clair. But hold on, because it looks like he’s not in the hot seat just yet regarding the state of their relationship. St. Clair’s spokesperson expressed that they’re eager for Musk to publicly acknowledge his role as a father, making us wonder what else we can expect from this colorful character.
In a world that seems to thrive on memes and viral moments, it’s refreshing (if not a tad chaotic) to see how these high-profile figures navigate personal and professional lives that often seem to overlap in the most absurd ways. So, what’s next for the Trump desk saga? Only time will tell, but for now, it’s a throne fit for a president sipping his coffee while dodging nasal intrusions.
