What's behind this
US President Donald Trump signed a proclamation designating the Oval Office and the Cabinet Room as national monuments after his party suffered midterm election losses and Democrats took control of Congress. The move was accompanied by a visual display of a large red cap bearing the word “VETO” on the historic Resolute Desk, described as a pointed political makeover. The proclamation is presented as a measure to preserve the rooms, though it is noted that future presidents may still redecorate them. The action follows voter dissatisfaction with his economic policies that led to a shift in congressional control.
