Briefings
President Trump signed a proclamation designating the White House's Oval Office and Cabinet Room as federal landmarks to prevent future presidents from altering them. He stated these spaces would be legally protected from destruction or modification, with a specific deadline of January 20, 2029, for removing any pyrite cackling from the walls. The article notes a comparison to a scene in Pulp Fiction involving a Chevy Malibu, expressing personal skepticism about the next two years. The source is a WSJ article dated November 6, 2026, which presents the proclamation as signed but does not confirm the legal status of the monument.
