Trump has shrugged off economic worries connected to his war on Iran.
Then the price of oil spiked overnight. And he tried to shrug that off, too.

Most plausible explanation is this is a historical reproduction. The curtains protect it from sunlight. Which -- fair.
I must admit I found the photo & curtain so amusing I didn't do a ton of research before my first post. And a Google search could have answered this question.
So. Sorry for that.
Is that *the* Declaration? The actual one? It's not a reproduction (even a historical reproduction)?
I'm being totally serious. Because that would make a lot of sense, actually, as you astutely suggest.
Does Trump do like dramatic reveals of the Declaration for guests?
Guests are seated around the Resolute Desk, and Trump says, "I bet you'll never guess what's behind that curtain," and then does a *whoosh* and it's the Declaration?
Is there a treasure map on the back of it?
This is not the most important thing, but now I'm super curious:
Why is the Declaration of Independence behind a curtain in the Oval Office?
📊 NEW Reuters poll:

Trump and Cabinet members are back in the makeshift “situation room” at Mar-a-Lago for the Iran attack.

Trump’s last attempt at regime change was also run out of a makeshift SCIF at Mar-a-Lago.
Cobb is a clear contender. I love Sweeney. Balsam’s little monologue talking about the prep football team is so idiosyncratic and wonderful. Klugman is so subtle and direct.
I can’t decide my favorite scene!

Everything about is perfect.
If you turn your TV on now, you can catch the end of “12 Angry Men” on Turner Classic Movies.
I can’t decide who gives the best performance in the picture (other than Henry Fonda). Gosh, it’s so good.
I was 23 and pitched a story about how his hit “Is This The Way to Amarillo” became a European football stadium classic.
For some reason he agreed to an interview, and then had to gently explain to me that he was kind of a big deal.
We got past the awkwardness. Such a fun conversation.
Zichronam l’bracha, Neil Sedaka — a national treasure, irrepressibly charming, and a generous entertainer and interview.
If you saw this and said: “Hey, isn’t Jacob between jobs right now?”
You’re right!

This is far from the most important thing, but the “Congressional Medal of Honor” does not exist.
It is simply the “Medal of Honor.”
In fact, since it is awarded by the president as commander-in-chief, Congress has *nothing* to do with it!
📈 REUTERS poll: More than 60% of Americans say Trump has "become erratic with age."
That includes 30% of Republicans and a whopping 64% of *independents.*
President Trump will turn 80 years old on June 14, with more than two years left in his second term.
