Fox News’ Jessica Tarlov mocked her co-host Jeanine Pirro on Friday after she praised President Donald Trump for redecorating the White House while opposing the “boring” choices under President Joe Biden.
Tarlov, as part of a panel discussion on “The Five,” named right-wing critics who slammed how the Bidens — particularly former first lady Jill Biden and her Christmas decorations — made their residence look before Pirro interjected.
“The whole point is they all agree with each other, I mean that’s the whole point, that Joe is boring,” Pirro said.
“That is not the point, you’re upset that they’re criticizing your king,” Tarlov replied.
“Oh my king? Oh, the king? No, he’s the president,” Pirro said.
Trump has reportedly tripled the amount of paintings in the Oval Office, which features gilded Rococo mirrors along with gold vermeil figurines and gold eagles on side tables, CNN reported earlier this week.
Presidents ultimately decide how they want their workspace to look.
Trump revealed last month that he chose a desk once used by former President George H.W. Bush in the Oval Office to temporarily replace the Resolute Desk— a gift from Queen Victoria in 1880 — as it got “lightly refinished.”
Trump is also hanging a copy of the Declaration of Independence — hidden behind dark blue curtains to protect it from light exposure — in the Oval Office and showed off the document to Fox News’ Laura Ingraham earlier this week.
In 2021, Biden made a number of choices on decor for the office, as well. He decided to remove a portrait of Andrew Jackson — which Trump saw criticism for in 2017 — and replace it with a portrait of Benjamin Franklin, CNN reported.
He also reportedly had busts of Martin Luther King Jr., Robert F. Kennedy, Cesar Chavez, Rosa Parks and Eleanor Roosevelt throughout the office.
Pirro, earlier in the program, slammed those criticizing Trump’s decor decisions as being “so petty and so irrelevant.”

Tarlov noted that it’s “ritualistic” that Republicans criticize Democratic presidents’ decor and vice versa.
