President Donald Trump recounted an anecdote during a Cabinet meeting about how he took a grandfather clock from Secretary of State Marco Rubio's office to place it in the Cabinet Room as part of a redesign. Trump explained that as president, he has the authority to take items he likes from government offices. Initially, Rubio was reluctant to give up the clock, but Trump asserted his right to relocate it, after which Rubio acquiesced. The clock, described as "gorgeous," is now installed in the Cabinet Room. This story was shared with humor during the meeting and has been widely reported as part of Trump's remarks on his interior design preferences in the White House.
