Jimmy Kimmel<\/a> has mocked Donald Trump\u2019s latest proclamation<\/a> designating the Oval Office a landmark.<\/p>\n

Trump, 80, renovated the president\u2019s office with countless golden tchotchkes and adornments<\/a>. The decor prompted Barack Obama to say during a midterm rally speech that the executive mansion now looks \u201clike Saddam Hussein opened a Cheesecake Factory.\u201d<\/p>\n

Seemingly in response, Trump held a ceremony Thursday afternoon \u2014 two days after Republicans suffered crushing midterm losses <\/a>\u2014 declaring both the Oval Office and the White House Cabinet Room national monuments.<\/p>\n

Kimmel, 58, addressed Trump\u2019s declaration during his Thursday night monologue, referring to the president as \u201cTacky-O\u201d and saying: \u201cTrump also signed his first proclamation since the blood bath on Tuesday and it is to turn the Oval Office into a national monument so that no future president can remove any of his crap.<\/p>\n

\u201cThat\u2019s right. His historic Diet Coke button will be preserved for many generations to come.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cHe turned the Oval Office into the gift shop at the Liberace Museum,\u201d Kimmel continued. \u201cAnd now he wants to keep it like that forever. He doesn\u2019t want anyone to change it \u2013 ever. Why do this now? Why do this right after the midterms<\/a>?\u201d<\/p>\n

Kimmel then floated his theory for why Trump took these actions, saying, \u201cMaybe he\u2019s planning to leave sooner than we think?\u201d<\/p>\n

After the audience\u2019s audible reaction, Kimmel delivered his two-word verdict on Trump\u2019s latest move, calling his landmark designation more of a \u201cskid mark.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cAnd let me tell you something, buddy,\u201d Kimmel said. \u201cOn January 20th, 2029, we are going to yank that crap down and throw it out faster than Melania<\/a> moves back to New York.\u201d<\/p>\n

During Thursday\u2019s announcement, Trump referred to an executive order placed on the Resolute Desk as he said the Oval Office \u201cwill not be allowed to be touched by anybody, destroyed, ripped down by stupid people in order to build something in a slightly different shape.\u201d<\/p>\n

During his second term, the 80-year-old president has transformed the Oval Office, perhaps more extensively than any other modern president. He has filled the room with gold accents, including appliqu\u00e9s, cherubs and urns, and lined the walls with framed portraits. Outside the entrance, he has added a sign in gold cursive lettering<\/a> that reads \u201cThe Oval Office.\u201d<\/p>\n

Kimmel\u2019s latest dig comes just days after he addressed the midterm results directly, saying during Tuesday night\u2019s monologue: \u201cWhat we do know for sure is that Democrats have officially taken the House. Thanks to President Trump. Blob Vila flipped another House! The blue wave made landfall, and now the Red Wedding begins.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Red Wedding is a reference to an infamous Game of Thrones scene <\/a>where several of the show\u2019s heroes were brutally massacred.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Want to bookmark your favourite articles and stories to read or reference later?
