President Joe Biden reportedly wanted to remove a famous piece of furniture from the Oval Office because former President Donald Trump used it.
The New York Post reports — according to an excerpt from the forthcoming book “The Fight for His Life” by Chris Whipple — the 46th president “let loose” on the “former guy” while giving a friend a private tour of the White House.
“Biden unleashed his ire on an upstairs room where Trump had installed a big-screen TV and a golf simulator that allowed him to practice his swing to the virtual backdrop of famous courses,” the Post reports.
Whipple’s book shares Biden lashed out at Trump as he exclaimed, “What a f***king a**hole.”
Additionally, the current president reportedly wanted to remove the historic Resolute Desk — because Trump used it — and replace it with the desk used by Franklin D. Roosevelt.
However, Whipple explained Roosevelt’s desk “couldn’t be moved from the Roosevelt estate at Hyde Park, NY.”
As The Washington Post notes, “Named after the HMS Resolute, the British ship from which it was crafted, the desk was given to President Rutherford B. Hayes by Queen Victoria of England in 1880.”
