Why does it look so busy behind them? What are all those ribbons on the flags??? Just so much going on.... I do love how Trump has him standing while he's sitting. He knows all the power moves.
I call them Battle Ribbons... here's what a search said:
The flags displayed in the Oval Office, particularly during President Donald Trump's administration, included military service flags such as the Army and Marine Corps flags, which featured attached ribbons or streamers at the top.
These streamers, often referred to as campaign or battle ribbons, represent major conflicts or campaigns in which the respective military branch has participated.
For example, the Army flag's streamers commemorate wars and deployments such as the Revolutionary War, World War I, and World War II, symbolizing the service and sacrifices of military personnel throughout history.
During Trump's presidency, these military branch flags were displayed around the Oval Office, in addition to the two traditional flags behind the Resolute Desk—the U.S. flag and the presidential seal flag.
However, when President Joe Biden took office in January 2021, the additional military flags and their associated streamers were removed from the Oval Office decor.
Most modern presidents traditionally display only the American flag and the presidential seal flag behind the Resolute Desk, making the inclusion of military branch flags with battle ribbons a matter of individual presidential preference rather than standard practice.
