Growing up in Miami. Some were plain n some ornate but I learned what they were and meant. By all means, a mezuzah on the doors of the White House will be history. 🤗

on the entrance to the white House private residence if he wants too. However the public and official parts of the White House should not display any religious symbol. I would not want to see a cross hanging in the oval office.
