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.

    Oh no, he found out countries play by Capture-the-Flag rules with our founding documents. He’s going to hand it over like it’s the deed to America and we’ll all be cooked— cooked, I say!
