A preservation lawyer calls Trump’s stance hypocritical.

Greg Werkheiser, a lawyer with Cultural Heritage Partners, said temporary furniture and decor changes are generally within a president’s discretion if they do not damage permanent art or architecture. He also argued that the administration has disregarded other historic sites and tried to undermine preservation laws through lawsuits. In that context, he called Trump’s preservation stance hypocritical, pointing to Kennedy Center renovations and a proposed triumphal arch. His criticism places the proclamation alongside projects and legal efforts he says cut against protecting historic places.
