Trump Demands New Official Portrait While First Stays Secret

Donald Trump wants a new presidential portrait done to replace one commissioned after his first term that’s never seen the light of day.

“President Trump was appreciative of the portrait created for his 45th term, and looks forward to seeing the completion of a portrait that will encapsulate both his 45th and 47th presidential terms,” White House spokesman, Davis Ingle, told The New York Times Friday.

The first painting would otherwise have hung in the Smithsonian’s National Portrait Gallery as part of its permanent exhibition, “America’s Presidents.”
