Once known as the “Monroe Room,” because it was where President James Monroe worked, it also has been the setting for major wartime addresses by presidents George W. Bush & Joseph R. Biden Jr.
… #Trump made his intentions for the #TreatyRoom known during a tour that he gave on Feb. 6 for a small group of people that included some members of the Committee for the #Preservation of the #WhiteHouse & the Commission of Fine Arts.

#Trump has added gold flourishes to the East Room of the Executive Residence in a style similar to the gilded trimmings he installed in the #OvalOffice. And he has affixed “challenge coins” [nonsense meaningless junk] that celebrate his presidency — including the newest medallions in red & gold — to the walls inside the #WestWing.

@Nonilex all of this is not the work of someone planning on leaving in 2 years...

In recent weeks, #Trump has taken new, previously unreported steps to redecorate & remodel the #WhiteHouse, the latest moves in one of the most significant renovations in the history of the White House, according to people with knowledge of his plans, who were granted anonymity because they weren’t authorized to discuss them.

#Trump already has torn down the #EastWing to make room for his $400 million, 90,000-square-foot #ballroom; he remade the bathroom attached to the #LincolnBedroom in marble & gold; he paved over the #RoseGarden grass; he added marble floors & a chandelier to the #PalmRoom; he covered the #OvalOffice in gold; & he has a new, 33,000-square-foot security screening center for #WhiteHouse visitors in the works.
His latest plans involve the more private spaces of the #WhiteHouse, in the second-floor presidential residence. The #TreatyRoom —which is separate from the Indian Treaty Room in the Eisenhower Executive Office Bldg—is one of the most #historic rooms in the White House. Presidents Ulysses S. Grant & William McKinley used it as a Cabinet room, & it was where the #SpanishAmericanWar peace protocol of 1898, & the #NuclearTestBan treaty of 1963, were signed.
