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.
Hey Nic Cage, now’s the time.
I honestly believe he couldn’t tell the difference between the real thing and a gift shop fake, I say give him the fake and see what he does with it at least
Hide the sharpies, at least.
And the white out when he wants the construction next.
Trump or Nic Cage?
This is what they did with his intelligence reports during his first term
Next stop: Mar-a-lago basement where it will be destroyed when the pool floods.

He 100% wants to sign it larger than anyone else.
Haha fuck you’re right.
John Hancock will rise from his grave to prevent that
One can hope.
Let him do it. We can write a new one
Can we get a parliamentary system or fix congress with the new constitution please?
I bet he’s planning on eating it.
Trump would eat torn up documents in the Oval Office, ex-White House aide claims
How the fuck have I not heard of this yet?
Because there’s a million things constantly happening and no one person can keep up with the tsunami of bullshit.
You might even say that the zone has been flooded with shit, even - Bannon’s gotta be proud
Because “ex white house aides” can claim all kinds of ridiculous shit.
I didn’t say I believed it. But I do think it’s funny as shit!
He’s gotta get his fiber from somewhere, it sure as hell isn’t coming from all the McDonald’s he eats…
He’s just going to get ketchup and Big Mac grease all over the priceless historical document…what’s the big deal?!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.
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
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.
He wants to let Jr use it to snort coke
Mark my words, he’s gonna annotate and sign it in sharpie.
Just put the comics section out of the Sunday paper in a frame for him. He won’t know the difference.
Don’t worry, he’ll just use his sharpie to fix a few things.
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.
He doesn’t think the Constitution exists, so I guess this makes sense?
