Overview

• The White House unveiled the new portrait of President Trump on June 2, showing him in a blue suit, red tie and flag pin against a stark black background with deep shadows.
• The photograph, shot by chief White House photographer Daniel Torok, was introduced in a brief video clip of staff mounting the image in the Eisenhower Executive Office Building.
• This unusually early update to a presidential portrait is set to replace previous official images across federal buildings and on the White House website.
• The portrait release follows recent additions to the presidential art collection, including a Marc Lipp painting of Trump after surviving a 2024 assassination attempt.
• Observers compared the image to Trump’s 2023 Fulton County mugshot, and it follows his dismissal of National Portrait Gallery director Kim Sajet.
