If I'm not mistaken, there is some historical significance in that desk he has his feet on.......ah yes, here it is:

The Resolute Desk

The President's Desk

Many presidents have used the Resolute desk in the Oval Office or the their study in the Residence. It was made from the timbers of HMS Resolute, an abandoned British ship discovered by an American vessel and returned to the Queen of England as a token of friendship and goodwill. When the ship was retired, Queen Victoria commissioned the desk from William Evenden, Royal Naval Dockyard at Chatham, England, and presented to President Rutherford Hayes in 1880.

I kinda envy the marxist usurper being in the position to put his feet up on that particular desk and knowing nobody will tell him to take them down.
