Trump Displays Assassination Attempt Painting, Moves Obama Portrait

The White House has replaced former President Barack Obama's portrait with a painting of President Donald Trump depicting him moments after surviving an assassination attempt at a rally. This painting, featuring Trump with a bloodied face and raised fist, now occupies a prominent location in the Grand Foyer, while Obama's portrait has been moved to a nearby area. Critics have taken to social media to express their disapproval of the switch, calling it a break from tradition and labeling Trump's actions as insecure and petty. The Obama portrait was originally unveiled in 2022 during Joe Biden's presidency and was painted by Robert McCurdy. The new Trump portrait is based on a photograph taken immediately after the assassination attempt last year. White House officials have confirmed the authenticity of the painting but have not disclosed details regarding its artist or commission process.
