Trump's new presidential portrait has the internet weirded out after they realized that half of face resembles Joe Biden.

In case you missed it, President Donald Trump's new presidential portrait was unveiled just before his inauguration—but it has social media users weirded out now that they've realized that half of his face kind of resembles Joe Biden.

The portrait features Trump dressed in a blue suit and tie, standing before an American flag. The composition is tightly framed, focusing on his face and upper chest. His expression is stern, with a slightly raised eyebrow.

But it didn't take long for someone to point out this inconvenient truth:

"If you cover the right side of his face with your hand and squint he looks like Joe biden."

Others raised the same question.


Many tried this out for themselves—and they couldn't disagree.





In a press release, the Trump-Vance transition team said the photos of Trump and Vice President J.D. Vance—whose own photo is less tightly framed and shows him smiling—"go hard," adding:

"In just four days, Donald J. Trump will be sworn in as the 47th President of the United States and JD Vance as the 50th Vice President of the United States — and their official portraits are here."

But the image of Trump in particular, The New York Timeswrote last week, "does not exactly scream celebration," noting that Trump is "shown sternly squinting, bathed in eerie, David Lynchian lighting from below, high-powered strobes reflected in his eyes" in a pose not dissimilar to the one "he struck for his 2024 mug shot, taken by the Fulton County, Georgia, sheriff’s office in that state’s election interference case."

Trump's portrait, captured a few weeks ago by his chief photographer, Daniel Torok, was specifically intended for the inauguration. A separate photograph will soon be chosen as his official presidential portrait, which will then be distributed to government agencies and American embassies worldwide.

Fox Host Ripped For Suggesting Trump Tell Anxious '401k People' To Treat Stock Market Tumble Like A Wartime Sacrifice

Fox News host Harris Faulkner received furious criticism on April 1 after suggesting that President Donald Trump, amid stock market tumbles, tell retirees and those worried about losing their retirement savings due to his tariffs that they should treat it like a wartime sacrifice, evoking World War II in response to widespread uncertainty.

Trump has repeatedly referred to April 2 as “Liberation Day,” pledging to impose tariffs—taxes on imports—to reduce U.S. reliance on foreign goods. He has framed these tariffs as “reciprocal,” aiming to match the duties other nations place on American exports.

Boebert Dragged After Confusing Director Oliver Stone With Roger Stone At JFK Hearing

Colorado Republican Representative Lauren Boebert hit a new low after she attempted to grill director Oliver Stone—the director of the classic 1991 political thriller JFK—on some of his views on the assassination of JFK, only to have colleagues point out that she'd mistaken him for Roger Stone, a former adviser and strategist to President Donald Trump.

The hearing—held in response to last month’s release of 80,000 pages of documents by the Trump administration related to the 1963 assassination—took an awkward turn when more than halfway through the hearing, Boebert brought up a book Roger Stone wrote, which alleges that former President Lyndon B. Johnson played a role in former President John F. Kennedy’s assassination.
