President Donald Trump has reportedly asked advisers about the possibility of moving the Declaration of Independence into the Oval Office

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.

- ~~~~pool~~~~ entire state*

Nice document you’ve got there. Real shame if something happened to it. 🇬🇧
- Seriously, though, is it too late to rescind the declaration? If we're gonna have a king no matter what, I'd rather have King Charles.
- Saxe-Coburg and Gotha playing the long game

He’s just going to get ketchup and Big Mac grease all over the priceless historical document…what’s the big deal?!
- He likes to steal shit, they're worried he'll take it and keep it or trade it to Russia or whatever idiotic whim he's on that day.

Let him do it. We can write a new one
- Can we get a parliamentary system or fix congress with the new constitution please?

Just put the comics section out of the Sunday paper in a frame for him. He won't know the difference.

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!
- "possession is 9/10s of the law"

The Atlantic highlighted that Trump has shown interest in planning the celebrations of the 250th anniversary of the declaration of independence,
All while denying people their independence.

Ya think he's gonna try reading it?
🤡🤡🤡
- The Declaration would be one thing, but the real win would be getting him to read the Constitution.

I'm a Patriotic Republican who defends the Constitution but ONLY after Children get Murdered and I think this is a GREAT idea that CANT go Wrong!

He's probably wanting to read the list of grievances against King George and trying to figure out which ones he hasn't done yet.
Well, if he could read, that is.
- There is no chance in hell that he knows who King George is/was.

Nicholas Cage is ALSO controlling drumpf now? Dude is like one of those Muppets with one person doing the voice, another the mouth, and two other people are working the hands. Makes for an impressive illusion
