What's behind this
President Donald Trump signed a proclamation designating the Oval Office and the Cabinet Room as national monuments, saying the spaces are of great interest and will become a landmark for the ages. The order also aims to prevent future changes to the Oval Office. Critics accused Trump of ignoring voter concerns over the Iran war and affordability ahead of midterm elections, focusing instead on construction and renovation projects in the capital. The signing occurred two days after voters dissatisfied with his economic policies removed dozens of Republicans from office, giving Democrats control of Congress.
