President Trump has lined the West Wing with the front pages of The Post that chronicle his stunning political comeback.
The snapshots of history, in the form of commemorative plaques featuring The Post’s distinctive covers, are prominently displayed in Trump’s Oval Office dining room.
Photographs of Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick’s Feb. 21 swearing-in ceremony released by the White House earlier this week show several of The Post front pages sitting on the mantle above the fireplace in the Oval Office dining room, which is one of a suite of rooms accessed via a private internal corridor from the Oval Office.
More front-page plaques were also visible on a sideboard in the room, which is often used for working lunches the president has with administration officials and foreign leaders.
The Post’s coverage of Trump’s “MAGA Square Garden” rally last October and his raucous September 2024 Long Island event, where he pledged to “save New York” are among the front pages the president chose to highlight.
Trump also put up the “‘I shouldn’t be here” cover – his first interview after the Butler, Pa., assassination attempt with The Post’s Michael Goodwin – and the Sept. 16, 2024 front page after the attempt on his life, in Palm Beach, Fla.
The Post’s Aug. 24, 2024 front page – “A Kennedy Endorses a Republican” – after Trump received the pivotal endorsement of one-time-opponent-turned-Cabinet-secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., is also on display.
Interestingly, The Post’s “The End” cover, from the day after former President Joe Biden dropped out of the 2024 race and endorsed former Vice President Kamala Harris, sits in the room as well.
Trump, a New York-native, is known to have a soft spot for the paper.
Earlier this month, The Post spotted one of its front pages – the one...

Joy Reid, call your office . . .
Hail to the Chief!
Not that it’s a hard and fast rule but I’ve noticed tabloids tend to lean more right than broadsheets. The Daily News is an obvious exception among others. Nothing of course beats the Post’s Headless Body found in Topless Bar but they also have more fun coming up with headlines. They would also be more fun places to work at I would think.
Trump will have the best Presidentil Library of any of our Presidents... and it’ll be finished before Obama’s.
I just read he’s putting in his library items the FBI took
from the Mar-a-Lago raid that they just returned to him.
Isnt that a scream?
You’re right.
I guess you usually have to have a sense of humor to own a tabloid...and dems have none so it’s a bad fit :)
Yes and they are also important historical items of value - to be preserved and displayed for posterity. Lol I’m picturing the Trump Presidential Library.
Perhaps, but the Phil Spector headline "Wall of Sound Meets Mountain of Evidence" comes pretty close.
"Freddie Star Ate My Hamster"
Freddie, a British comedian, later denied he so much as took a nibble from the hamster!
Hand Salute. Thank GOD for Donald Trump.
LOL yes, Trump knows how to stick it to 'em...
I can’t seem to find a shot of it online but one of the funniest tabloid covers was in the run up to the 1992 World Series between Toronto and Atlanta and Ted Turner and Jane Fonda were married to each other and cheering on Ted’s Braves and the Toronto Sun found an old pic of Jane wearing a Blue Jays jersey. They plastered this shot on their cover. Once a traitor always a traitor.
