White House Updates Gallery with Trump Portrait, Moves Obama's

The White House Grand Foyer has witnessed a dramatic change in its collection of presidential portraits.

According to Newsmax, a painting depicting Donald Trump during an assassination attempt has replaced a portrait of Barack Obama.

In a significant reorganization of the White House's displayed artwork, a portrait of former President Barack Obama, which had been a focal point in the Grand Foyer since 2022, has been removed. It was replaced at the bottom of the Grand Staircase with a striking depiction of former President Donald Trump, captured bloodied but defiantly raising his fist during a harrowing moment at a campaign rally in Butler, Pennsylvania.

The painting of Trump, which vividly captures the intensity of the attempted assassination, was contributed by Andrew Pollack, a noted school safety advocate. Pollack's daughter tragically lost her life in the Parkland school shooting.

The artwork, executed by artist Marc Lipp, is based on photographs taken by photojournalists Evan Vucci and Doug Mills during the incident.

I'm glad he's getting so much mileage out of that horrible day. He's made a mint in sales of the portrait on different things like coffee cups, flags and placemats. And it was just when he was going through those trials. It's like the bullet was sent from God to help pay the bills. And God Bless the Secret Service for pausing for a moment so he could pose. They are the best.

@8:42...you must love being an A-H. Various companies have licenses to make a profit off of his name and photo such as Proud Patriots. He doesn't need his bills paid by the American public. He has lost billions just being President. And crazy Democrats are still trying to "take him out." MAGA!
