A portrait of US President Trump that depicts him raising his fist immediately after the attempt on his life last July at a Bulter, Pa., rally is replacing an image of former President Barack Obama in a prominent spot inside the White House.
White House deputy chief of staff, Dan Scavino posted side-by-side photos on social media of the Trump artwork seemingly replacing the Obama painting on Friday at the bottom of the Grand Staircase.
The artwork of Trump shows him bloodied with an American flag waving behind him after he survived the assassination attempt last year.
The image of Trump appeared to take the place of a portrait of Obama that was unveiled at the White House in 2022.
The life-like portrait by artist Robert McCurdy shows Obama sporting a black suit and grey tie in front of a white background.
The white background, the White House said at the time, “allow the viewer to establish a relationship with the subject.”;
