President Donald Trump has turned his son-in-law’s former office into a hoarding space complete with “papers, paintings, tchotchkes, MAGA paraphernalia, and various gifts he couldn’t bear to throw away,” according to a new report.
The Daily Beast reported, citing details in the new book Regime Change: Inside the Imperial Presidency of Donald Trump by Maggie Haberman and Jonathan Swan of The New York Times, that Trump has been storing his stuff in so-called “Beautiful mind boxes” in Jared Kushner’s old office. The boxes hold memorabilia from Trump’s time in office, including papers, newspaper clippings, and other items that make Trump feel secure, according to aides who spoke with Haberman and Swan.
“The president’s hoarding habits came to light in 2023, when he and his personal aide, Walt Nauta, were federally indicted for allegedly mishandling classified documents. Prosecutors said he took top-secret documents with him to Florida after leaving office, including some on nuclear programs and military vulnerabilities,” the report reads in part.
The Daily Beast also noted that the details add a new layer to Trump’s cosmetic renovations of the White House. The president has redecorated the Oval Office with gold-plated items, and tore down the East Wing to make room for a new ballroom, despite promising that the project would not involve tearing down part of the White House.
