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.

    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.
