Summary

Donald Trump reportedly alarmed advisers by requesting that the original Declaration of Independence be moved into the Oval Office.

Aides pointed out the security and preservation challenges, as the document is stored in a high-security case at the National Archives.

Trump later shifted his focus to relocating a historical copy instead.

The request is part of his efforts to reshape the White House and plan celebrations for the Declaration’s 250th anniversary.

    Ugh.

    He doesn’t get that it’s there not because it’s valuable, it’s there because it’s an important cultural artifact that would disintegrate in a regular environment.

    We get one of the real thing. Any time we get one of something, we like to protect it. Or at least we, humans, do.

      Protect it?

      You think trump wants to protect it?

      Edit: it was a rhetorical question. We all know he just wants to destroy every good thing America has accomplished

        What?!? No, absolutely not. He wants it because it’s something to brag about in his office.

        The country has stored it in the archives to protect it.

          He definitely just wants to let Putin hold it when he visits.
