Close the blinds

In the background of the photo of President Trump getting a nicely framed piece of metal, the noble Nobel that you can't really give away, there is a copy of the Declaration of Independence, but why does it have curtains? It's a copy, as the original is too delicate and faded, so it doesn't need to be out of the sunlight.

Is it there to remind President Trump of why and how the country was founded? He doesn't seem to know much about the Constitution either so a prominent copy in the Oval office would also be a good move.

Why the curtains? Perhaps so they can be put in the dark while the President rains havoc on their content. The curtains might also be fireproof in case the documents explode into flames as he signs the next Executive Order.

Most countries have a Constitution to guide their leaders and people but rarely has one been so under attack from one person.
