Trump Designates Oval Office and Cabinet Room as National Monument to Preserve Redesigns

President Donald Trump signed a proclamation on November 5, 2026, declaring the Oval Office and Cabinet Room as a national monument. This action aims to prevent future alterations to his redesigns of these areas, with Trump stating they "will not be allowed to be touched." The move follows recent midterm elections where Republicans lost congressional control, reportedly due to voter dissatisfaction with his economic policies.
