President Donald Trump has eyed the Treaty Room for his latest makeover project at the White House, according to a new report. Trump has made it his mission to beautify the White House and the D.C. area as he sees fit. Perhaps most notably, he is working on an estimated $400 million ballroom, to replace the demolished East Wing.
Now, the president is considering renovating the Treaty Room, a historic private study for the president and a meeting room for political figures on the second floor of the White House, into a guest bedroom with an upgraded bathroom, The New York Times reported Thursday.
A White House official has emphasized to The Independent that there are no current plans to change the Treaty Room.
The Treaty Room is where the 1898 peace protocol between the U.S. and Spain and the 1963 Limited Nuclear Test Ban between the U.S. and the former Soviet Union were signed. It is also possibly where President James Monroe wrote the Monroe Doctrine, a pillar of U.S. foreign policy, according to the White House Historical Association.

Why, spend all those boring meetings (when awake) looking around and picturing new flooring, window treatments, new furniture and gold trim everywhere! It makes the meetings almost tolerable!
