The Left Won’t Like What Trump Just Did to Obama’s Portrait

Donald Trump has sent an unmistakable message—Barack Obama’s White House portrait has once again been moved. It’s been tucked away where visitors won’t see the grinning image of a president whose tenure was marked by scandal, deception, and failed policies. Advertisement

Unfortunately, it’s not in the garbage. CNN reports the portrait now sits in an out-of-the-way corner, away from guests who don’t need a reminder of Obama’s disastrous legacy and his effort to frame Trump with collusion charges. This is more than redecorating — it’s a statement about accountability and honesty in presidential legacies. By moving the portrait, Trump delivers a quiet but clear verdict on one of the most corrupt administrations in modern history.

Put it in the closet...just like the real guy.

[Fireone]

On the porta-potti wall, used for construction of the new ballroom?
Used as a floor mat, while changing oil on the MAGA garbage truck?
I can think of several uses, just hope no one has to look at it.

[Recompennation]

Put joe and obozo face to face in the corner closet’s onlyest’s wall.

[Sertorius]

Best idea yet.

[Ann Archy]

Two of the DUMBEST looking paintings ever!!

[Liz]

Really really dumb........ghetto taste.

I distinctly remember after Obama was elected, they erected a Greek or Roman type facade and he gave a speech in which he said,” WE are the people we have been waiting for!”

Made me sick to my stomach…

We took the White House public tour a few months ago. The official Obama portrait was on view. (The Big Mike one looked like the artist used a while pack of crayons to make that monstrosity)

A few days later I ready that the Obama portrait was replaced with a 5’X5’ portrait of Trump, fist in the air and blood streaming down his face.

I suspect there’s either a rule, law of strong tradition that each President has a portrait hanging. The servants stairway is appropriate for Obama.

His legacy is destroyed.

[Sacajaweau]

Both are out of line. IIRC, they both used black artists.

[cnsmom]

I thought those two portraits were in the Ptotrait Gallery not the White House.in that case put them in a basement or attic of the Gallery. hang it backwards.

[MNnice]

Believe it or not, I don’t think most on the American left are big fans of Obama.

Excellent!

Life goes on and the earth keeps spinning be for the good or bad.
Enjoy and make the best of your allotted time.

I really like this idea. At least Obama gets the respect he deserves.

[TheThirdRuffian]

A bar in west Texas has a sign with an arrow pointing down at the toilet “free Obama dolls”.

[TheThirdRuffian]

Which is why they were moved.

They’re ugly.

[Resolute Conservative]

He is a floating turd.

[castlebrew]

PDJT47 should establish the bH0 memorial dumpster and post it there.

Appropriately protected from the dumpster contents, of course. (/only slight sarc)

[bray]

The Dems think it should be in the Vatican.

"I distinctly remember after Obama was elected, they erected a Greek or Roman type facade"

I think you're referring to the facade where he gave a speech after winning the dem nomination. It was actually BEFORE he was elected. The arrogance, hubris, and megalomania of it was striking.
