WASHINGTON (CNN) The official portraits of former Presidents Bill Clinton and George W. Bush were removed from the Grand Foyer of the White House within the last week, aides told CNN, and replaced by those of two Republican presidents who served more than a century ago.
White House tradition calls for portraits of the most recent American presidents to be given the most prominent placement, in the entrance of the executive mansion, visible to guests during official events.
That was the case through at least July 8, when President Donald Trump welcomed Mexican President Andrés Manuel López Obrador. The two stood in the Cross Hall of the White House and made remarks, with the portraits of Clinton and Bush essentially looking on as they had been throughout Trump's first term.
But in the days after after that, the Clinton and Bush portraits were moved into the Old Family Dining Room, a small, rarely used room that is not seen by most visitors.
That places the paintings well outside of Trump's vantage point in the White House. In their previous location, the pictures would have been seen daily as Trump descends the staircase from his third floor private residence or when he hosts events on the state floor of the White House. Now, they hang in a space used mainly for storing unused tablecloths and furniture.
The White House did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

Perfect!
I see your point!
nasty. :)
I would move those out by the trash cans.
Oh ... The Horror! Victory has its perks..
It’s about time.
Those 2 represent all that has gone wrong that Trump is now dealing with. All members of Congress that have been there 30 plus years too. Wish Tucker would do a timeline on who was President and who was in Congress that is still there, that got us into this mess with China and ME wars.
I want him to make the media soil themselves. Hang the MT. Rushmore meme with a smiling Trump as the 5th honored pres.
Good.
In a trash can would have been fine with me.
Ha!

I have just finished reading and torn out your review. I am sitting in the smallest room in the house. It was in front of me but is about to be behind me.
Bye-bye, BJ! Hilarious. Or should that be, Hillaryous?
And the portrait of Obama was moved to the loo.
Hope Obsma’s portrait is in the transvestite rest room.
Men's room. With a target for accurate attempts to hit it just right.
Awesome!They should flip them around, like I do in stores when I see books or magazines with the Clintons, Obamas, or any other Democrat on the cover.
Oooh, what a scoop! Clinton-Non-News scored a big one. CNN is a big one, as a matter of fact.
Partisan Media Shills update.
Put Obozos pic in the toilet. MAGA!
