In a move that’s sure to spark controversy among Democrats, President Trump has replaced a portrait of former President Obama with a striking image of himself in the White House. This iconic image depicts Trump standing defiantly and yelling “fight” after surviving an assassination attempt in Pennsylvania during the summer of 2024.
This decision is bound to trigger outrage on the left, though it really shouldn’t. If the Democrats are wise, they’ll let this one slide.
According to Mediaite, the White House made the swap, removing Obama’s portrait from a prominent position and replacing it with artwork portraying Trump during the dramatic moment when he was grazed by a bullet fired by 20-year-old Thomas Matthew Crooks. The image posted around 3 p.m. ET on the White House’s official page showed Trump valiantly raising his fist, bleeding from the ear.

Numerous confirmations followed, with various sources pointing out that this location previously displayed Obama’s portrait.
I’m pretty sure this is where the Obama portrait was.

Apropos of nothing, this spot is where the Biden White House displayed the official Obama portrait.
