The unveiling of presidents’ official White House portraits by their successor has been a long-held tradition until now. Barack Obama is refusing to participate in the ceremony for the unveiling of his portrait, NBC News has learned.
“Republican presidents have done it for Democratic presidents, and vice versa,” noted NBC News. “Even when one of them ascended to the White House by defeating or sharply criticizing the other.” True enough, Barack Obama hosted the ceremony of the unveiling of George W. Bush’s official White House portrait, despite Obama ascending to the office by being a harsh critic of the 43rd president. George W. Bush similarly hosted the ceremony of Clinton’s portrait unveiling. Bush had been a critic of Clinton’s during the 2000 campaign, promising to restore honor and dignity to the office, sullied by Clinton’s sex scandal with Monica Lewinsky. Bill Clinton hosted the ceremony for George H.W. Bush, whom he’d defeated in the 1992 election.

The painting is missing the flies that are always landing on him.
Good, maybe it will mysteriously disappear before it is ever seen.
No problem. Trump needs to put the life size cardboard BO and MO in the portait instead. I’d drive to DC to see that!
It means he’s dumb as Ivy.

True. The feeling is mutual with these guys. It’s hard to imagine that President Trump extended a cordial invitation and is broken up by a rejection by his predecessor.
There’s a lot hidden in that painting. Do some searching and you might be surprised at what you find.
The artist is a homosexual, and many of his paintings have sperm in them. This one is no exception.

And that’s something a free and independent press would have vigorously investigated. But the United States no longer has a free and independent press. Please see my post #81.
Yup
I swear I would do it! It would be EPIC!
That CANNOT be the OFFICIAL PORTRAIT!!! NO....that portrait was done years ago! And the DUMBEST LOOKING PICTURE EVER!
I wouldn’t give Zero he time of day!
I wouldn’t invite the A hole!
Get a couple of ho’s to urinate on the portrait and hang it up in the men’s room.
That works too.
For what? There was never an unveiling planned so Obama is refusing to show up for something that wasn't happening in the first place.
Just to jack with Obama.
