Richard Nixon was not president in 1975, Bush 41 did NOT use the Resolute desk either, It was Reagan and not Kennedy that added the plinth to make the desk taller.

[@TexasNorthDFW]

I caught that, too. Reagan added the extra height to the desk because he kept hitting his knees under it.

[@jamesflamish4938]

This guy is joke

[@stephentg1]

Are you sure about the desk height addition? The famous picture of JFK's son seems to show it already there.

[@stflaw]

@@stephentg1 Nope, it was Reagan, as described in the memoirs of Michael Deaver. Deaver related that Reagan didn't fit under the desk, but was too polite to complain. Deaver noticed Reagan was sitting at the desk sideways and asked why. Reagan explained it was the only way he could get his legs to fit, whereupon arrangements were made to raise the height of the desk.

They will lead you across the street from the dealership where they have constructed a complete and highly detailed copy of the Oval Office, right down to the pictures on the desk that are currently present in Washington today. The doors, the carpet, the desk, the seal, everything just like at the White House. Quite a patriotic gesture for current and future customers. They also have school tours conducted weekly.

Since they are both mentioned in this vid, here's a tangent about JFK's death and his back brace. I'll admit to going down rabbit holes about his killing, but only recently did i hear someone make a very valid point on it, regardless of any theory involved. JFK's thick back brace almost certainly must have kept him in an upright position after being shoot through the neck. Without it he most likely would have slouched down to his knees and wouldn't be an open target for the head shot. It's easy to see it now, but he never should have been exposed the way he was. He literally couldn't duck down!

Actually, not all of the oval office rugs had the presidential seal in it. The first rug made for President Kennedy, which was red didn’t have the presidential seal at all, and it was ironically installed the day. He was assassinated the rug built for President Gerald Ford also did not have the presidential seal in it and that rug was also used by President Carter and Reagan in Richard Nixon was the last president to have the presidential seal in his rug until President Reagan had a new one made for the office that was installed in 1987. This rug has been used by every Republican president since. President George Bush Senior used temporarily President George Bush, used it until his blue rug was finished. President George W. Bush used it until his personal rug was completed with the exact same design as President Reagan, and President Trump used it for the entirety of his administration. President Joe Biden uses Bill Clinton’s rug.
