When Donald Trump took office as president, one of his initial actions was to change the artwork in the West Wing. He opted to remove a collection of inspirational photographs that had been displayed there and replaced them with images depicting large crowds from his inauguration. This move illustrated Trump's desire to emphasize the size and significance of his inaugural event.

This decision reflects a broader theme of Trump's presidency, where he frequently focused on the perception of his success and public support. By prioritizing prominent images of his crowd over more motivational visuals, Trump sought to project an image of popularity and validation right from the start of his administration.
