Trump says Oval Office to become national monument

Trump said the move will block future changes to the rooms after he added gold accents, portraits and other decor.

  • On Nov 5, President Donald Trump signed a proclamation declaring the Oval Office and White House Cabinet Room national monuments, preventing future occupants from altering his design choices.
  • Since returning to the White House, Trump has overseen numerous design changes including portraits, a copy of the Declaration of Independence, and golden accents throughout his workspace.
  • "We're making it a national monument," Trump told reporters, warning that future leaders might otherwise remodel the Oval Office into a square shape rather than preserve his design.
  • Voters dissatisfied with economic policies threw dozens of Republicans out of office two days before the proclamation, delivering control of Congress to the Democrats.
