President Trump has secured moving an official copy of the Declaration of Independence from the national archives to a proud display inside the White House.
Trump has long suggested that the founding document should have equal standing with the Constitution.
Commenting on the move, Trump noted that the blue velvet curtains are hanging over the document to protect it from being bleached by sunlight.

“Isn’t that great? Think Joe Biden would do this? I don’t think so. Do you think he’d think of it? Do you think he knows what it is?!” Trump quipped.

TRUMP: "This is the Declaration of Independence… It's never been up. It's been in the vaults for many, many decades… Just went up yesterday. Think Joe Biden would do this? I don't think so… Do you think… pic.twitter.com/WIQehtGMUT
“[The Oval Office] has never been like that. We’ve [also] taken a lot of great paintings out of the vault. Some of those paintings were in vaults and safes for a hundred years,” Trump further commented.
Referring to gold accents on the paintings, Trump noted “They are all gold. It’s angels. They say angels bring good luck. And we need a lot of luck in this country with what they’ve done over the last four years.”
The full text of the Declaration is below:
“When in the Course of human events it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature’s God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation.
We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. — That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, — That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shown that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security.”
