Did they put it behind a curtain so they can cover it up when they're about to violate the constitution and spirit of the US, like when people take their wedding ring off for an affair?
The White House is sorta pretending that they hung the original Declaration of Independence in the Oval Office, despite the original being displayed in the National Archives and being very faded whereas the Oval Office copy is clearly legible. If it were an original, they'd need to minimize light exposure as much as possible to prevent further fading. In which case, hanging it on an office wall would be an extremely stupid idea, but curtains would at least help somewhat. So it helps keep up the facade of it being an original copy to those with negative IQ.
It's likely a compromise as the document is extremely sensitive to light and changes in temperature. Displaying it like this is a ridiculous thing to have done, but at least it's just one of the copies and not a significant original. Still... Something tells me the orange lump would rather it be hanging from the roll in the white house bathroom the way he acts.
0% chance Trump knows anything about the contents of the Declaration. remember during his first term when some organization posted the text as a twitter thread on July 4, and maga morons got upset because they thought the list of King George's crimes was a personal attack on Trump?

More like turning the photo of grandma around while you fuck your kids.
