Still falls in line with what u/FractalizingIron is saying: if Truman issued the left facing post WW2, and the Resolute Desk was carved in 1880, then Trump using a right facing eagle could still bear significance, as no one is going to receive the Resolute Desk eagle to face left. They'd keep it original.
I was wondering about this, but I think you might be right. So, possibly, the team took a shot of the Resolute Desk and then enlarged it, shopped it a bit to create the backdrop for Trumps address. Stylistically, they look to be the same relief.
Interesting... thanks
The 3D carved eagle relief appears to be the one on the resolute desk...

Yeah I wasn't disputing anything... just adding where the relief is from.
