Tired of constantly ushering staff members and administrators out the revolving door in the West Wing, President Trump has installed a trap door in the floor in front of his desk in the Oval Office. Triggered by a button above his drawer, the door opens into a deep, dark tube beneath the carpet. While it remains unclear where the tube leads, many believe its first use will come in a Friday Cabinet dump.
Although he has publicly admitted he will not work in the Oval Office, Trump still spends nearly his entire day on the numerous putting greens he placed throughout the executive office. Meetings with cabinet members normally consist of making diplomatic and policy decisions based on whether he makes the putt or not.
“The opening isn’t that big,” White House carpenter Rupert Willis said,”So the real trick will be getting the Cabinet member or relative to stand directly over it.” Trump has considered installing several more putting greens so his visitors have no choice but to stand over the drop spot. The president has also asked Willis to install second smaller door in the Cabinet room beneath Attorney General Jeff Sessions high chair.
In previous administrations it was often considered an honor to be invited into the Oval Office, but Trump has rapidly changed that perception amongst his staffers. “Sometimes he calls us in to pull the flag when his caddy’s on a break, but that’s a best case scenario,” one West Wing employee admitted,”Everyone thinks they will be safe while he’s away from his desk, but he’s already trying to hit the button with chip shots from across the room.”
