Trump Just Hung A Patriotic New Painting Of Himself At The White House—And It's Cringey AF

President Trump has been on a redecorating spree at the White House recently—and a new portrait he hung of himself is turning heads.

MAGA Republican President Donald Trump recently hosted several European leaders at the White House after he held a one-on-one meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin in Alaska. The purported purpose was finding a path to peace after the Russian invasion of Ukraine has led to a protracted war.

Trump has repeatedly claimed he could end the conflict in 24 hours, but has failed to do so.


While posing for photos with the world leaders, Trump made certain to point out another massive self-aggrandizing portrait that's been hung in the White House since his second term began.

This portrait depicted the alleged assassination attempt against Trump, when his ear was allegedly nicked by a bullet from a high-powered rifle, then miraculously cured without a scar.

Trump made certain to direct everyone's attention to the painting.

It's not the only new portrait the MAGA leader wanted to show off, but he used another administration member to do it.

Trump sycophant and Deputy Assistant to the President Seb Gorka shared another portrait on X, captioned:

"One of the new [White House] paintings of President [Donald Trump]. More to come."

The exact location of the portrait, which seems to cover a wall from almost ceiling to floor, wasn't immediately revealed. It was later identified as hanging somewhere in the West Wing where it can be viewed by visitors.

The portrait is disturbing in its obvious aim to prop up a pathetically fragile ego.

People took the opportunity to dunk on Trump and his MAGA minions over Trump’s latest insecure cry for validation.

The critiques for the portrait's composition—everything on fire—were less than flattering for Trump.

Is the city on fire behind him LA or DC? Everything he touches, he destroys. What a weak, pathetic excuse of a man.Also, his face doesn't blend into the orange background enough to be accurate.

Yikes, indeed.

Trump Walking Away From America On Fire—not the painting's real title—is just the latest in a series of Trump portraits to be placed within public view, while portraits of former Presidents are removed.

Gorka promised more massive Trump portraits to come, to match the tacky gold decor Trump has already slathered the People's House in. The move, unfortunately for this administration, doesn't make Trump look like the strongman he yearns to be, but rather reeks of desperation and weakness.

But is anyone really surprised Trump wants the White House to become a shrine to himself?

Marvel Just Confirmed That Chris Evans Is Returning For 'Avengers: Doomsday'—And Fans Have Mixed Feelings

Folks, once again, continuity is more of a suggestion than a rule in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Marvel has officially confirmed that Chris Evans is returning as Steve Rogers in Avengers: Doomsday, and the internet has responded exactly how you’d expect: screaming, celebrating, arguing, and a very justified side-eye toward how Sam Wilson keeps getting treated.

The confirmation comes via a teaser now playing exclusively in theaters ahead of Avatar: Fire and Ash. There is no official online release, despite leaks circulating. If you didn’t catch it on the big screen, Marvel’s response is essentially: sorry, guess you had to be there.
