Trump Painting Replaces Obama Portrait in White House Grand Foyer

The White House installed a painting of Donald Trump after surviving an assassination attempt, relocating Barack Obama's portrait to a less prominent position.

The new painting depicts Trump bloodied and raising his fist after a July 2024 assassination attempt in Butler, Pennsylvania, a moment that became central to his reelection campaign.
Obama’s portrait, unveiled in 2022, was moved across the Grand Foyer to a location previously occupied by George W. Bush's portrait, which has been relocated elsewhere in the White House.
The painting, based on photographs from the event, was created by artist Marc Lipp and gifted to Trump by Andrew Pollack, a school safety advocate.
The White House announced the change via social media, sharing a video with the caption, 'Some new artwork at the White House,' without prior notice.
The decision has drawn mixed reactions, with criticism centering on Trump’s break from tradition and perceived self-promotion, while some supporters have praised the move.
