President Donald Trump and former President Barack Obama won’t team up to reveal the 44th President’s official White House portrait, people familiar with the discussion told NBC News.

NBC’s sources said that Obama will forgo the ceremony as long as Trump is in office and is willing to potentially wait until 2025 to have his and former First Lady Michelle Obama’s portraits revealed in the East Room. The Obamas began the customary consultation process for the portraits, different from those revealed in 2018 at the National Portrait Gallery, shortly after leaving office in 2017.

Did you see 0's "Commencement Address" last weekend.

Very first thing I thought, even before the volume came up was that he was wrecked.

The obama messed up eyes were on display-bigly.

Obama doesn’t want an official portrait that forever shows the world what a pig he is married to and what a graceful, beautiful woman Melania Trump is. You can sometimes fake ugly, but when it’s in the same frame as beauty, the contrast is too shocking. It becomes F’UGLY. For an eternity.

I've been wanting to comment on this "portrait" for
some time. But I can't. I'd get kicked of Free Republic
if I spoke what's on my mind..
So I'll just say I consider this to a very undignified,
ridiculous image of a former President.

I don't think Obama realizes how stupid he appears in
this painting. If he did he would have never allowed
it to be created.

So let it hang in the White House and let everyone quietly
snicker at it and laugh and make jokes about it in private.
It's an apt representation of Obama and his Democrats'
bizarre unconstitutional administration.

As Wintrich of TGP reports:

The fawning New York Magazine piece makes this clear after the writer attempts to snap a few pictures of the studio space. Wiley immediately grows uncomfortable and begins skirting around the truth:

There’s nothing new about artists using assistants—everyone from Michelangelo to Jeff Koons has employed teams of helpers, with varying degrees of irony and pride—but Wiley gets uncomfortable discussing the subject. “I’m sensitive to it,” he says. When I first arrived at his Beijing studio, the assistants had left, and he made me delete the iPhone snapshots I’d taken of the empty space. […] “I don’t want you to know every aspect of where my hand starts and ends” […]

Producing work in China cuts costs, but not as much as it used to, Wiley says. These days in Beijing he employs anywhere from four to ten workers, depending on the urgency, plus a studio manager, the American artist Ain Cocke.

Obama obviously is still stuck back in the Plantation of 200 years ago.

This is the kind of division he sows.

And now Trump supporters will begin to hate Obama more than they do now.

Obama is a douche bag through and through. He tries t unseat a duly elected president and them has a hissy fgit when he’s called out.

Obama gives the appearance afraid to go to the White House because someone will kick the shit out of hum, deservedly so.

Clinton and Obama ruined the office of President. Republicans may never hold that office again after the Trump era. The same goes for the House. Our government is ruined. What I really want to say about Obama cannot be said here.

Its always been hard for Zero, to try to find some place somewhere where he’s not the least competent person in the room.
