President Donald Trump has made a bold patriotic statement by displaying a framed copy of the Declaration of Independence in the Oval Office, according to photos he shared on social media.
In images posted to his official X account, Trump revealed the historic document prominently placed on the wall near his desk. One picture shows him carefully pulling back dark blue curtains surrounding the frame, taking a closer look at the treasured piece of American history.
The original Declaration, which dates back to 1776, is famously housed at the National Archives and has faded over time. However, the version now displayed in the Oval Office appears to be crisp and legible, according to the images released.
Neither the White House nor the National Archives immediately responded to questions regarding the specific version of the document now hanging in the president’s office. Trump’s social media post offered no further details beyond the simple caption: “The Declaration of Independence in the Oval Office.”
