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.

Official Portraits

The Trump-Vance campaign unveiled what it called "official" portraits of the president-elect and vice president-elect on Thursday, just days before their inaugurations.

While these are not the classic, official White House portraits, they will serve as the administration’s official photos for the transition period and perhaps beyond.

Donald Trump, already the 45th president, will be inaugurated as the 47th president today, while JD Vance will be inaugurated as the 50th vice president.
