There’s been a recent development at the White House, where a portrait of former President Barack Obama was moved and replaced with the portrait of the current president, Donald Trump, a picture from his assassination attempt during a rally.
Trump’s painting replaced the official portrait of former President Barack Obama in the foyer of the State Floor, a space traditionally revered for the two most former presidents.
Obama’s portrait was taken to the opposite wall, previously occupied by George W. Bush’s likeness, which is now set to be moved closer to his father’s portrait on the staircase to the residence.

The painting, created by artist Marc Lipp and donated by Andrew Pollock via the Blue Gallery in Florida, captures Trump wounded in the ear, thrusting his fist skyward while declaring, “Fight, fight, fight!”
The phrase became a rallying cry during Trump’s successful reelection campaign. The White House announced the change on its official X account, sharing a photo of the painting with the caption, “Some new artwork at the White House,” followed by the eyes emoji.
Hanging a new presidential portrait without any notice is unusual and shows Trump’s habit of breaking traditions. Normally, current presidents invite their predecessors for a portrait unveiling, but Trump didn’t do this for Obama during his time in office.
