President Trump signed a proclamation to prevent future changes to the Oval Office and Cabinet Room as he has redesigned them.

President Trump signed a proclamation on Thursday that he said will prevent future changes to the Oval Office and Cabinet Room as he has redesigned them. He told reporters: 'We're making it a national monument and it will not be allowed to be touched by anybody.'

Since returning to the White House, Trump has overseen numerous design changes to various rooms. The Oval Office now features portraits, a copy of the Declaration of Independence and numerous golden accents along the walls.

The proclamation signing comes two days after voters, dissatisfied with his economic policies, threw dozens of Republicans out of office, delivering control of Congress to Democrats. It is the third day this week in which Trump, a real estate mogul, has delivered remarks focused on his pet projects in Washington, D.C., including an opulent ballroom and the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool.
