The White House recently moved former President Barack Obama’s official portrait to a new location in the East Room, replacing it with a painting of former President Donald Trump with his fist raised after an assassination attempt. The new Trump portrait is based on a photo from his campaign, featuring him bloodied and surrounded by Secret Service agents. The tradition of having the most recent official presidential portrait in this spot was broken, as current President Joe Biden does not yet have one. The former official presidential portraits were rearranged during Trump’s term, and Obama’s portrait was moved to another location. The replacement of Obama’s portrait with Trump’s has received mixed reactions, with some Republicans praising the change. This move is part of a series of unexpected events involving presidential portraits, including Trump demanding the removal of a painting of him from the Colorado State House and the disappearance of a portrait of former Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Mark Milley from the Pentagon.
