Trump Mocked For Bizarre New Portrait Of Him Alongside Lincoln And Reagan—And It's A Lot

New York Times correspondent Shawn McCreesh shared a photo of a strange portrait of Presidents Trump, Lincoln, and Reagan now hanging in the West Wing, and social media users were quick to react.

President Donald Trump's latest bizarre decision had social media users laughing after a journalist shared a photo of a portrait of Trump and former presidents Abraham Lincoln and Ronald Reagan that now hangs in the West Wing.

Last week, New York Times correspondent Shawn McCreesh noted that there is "a new piece of artwork hanging on the walls of the West Wing," sharing a portrait that shows Trump flanked on either side by Lincoln and Reagan, respectively.


You can see it below.

As many pointed out, the portrait—very much in tune with a president oft-criticized for narcissistic behavior—is not something that should hang on any wall in the first place.

The decision to hang the new portrait comes several weeks after the White House faced criticism for presenting a new painting of Trump's assassination attempt last summer that now hangs where an official portrait of former President Barack Obama was once displayed.

The portrait of Obama, unveiled in 2022, remains on display but has been relocated. Originally hung near the staircase to the presidential residence on the State Floor, it has been moved to the opposite wall—which was once home to a portrait of former President George W. Bush.

The newly installed painting of Trump shows him surrounded by Secret Service agents, with an American flag waving behind him in a cloudless sky. Red streaks mark his face, and the imagery closely mirrors photos captured after the assassination attempt during a campaign event where a bullet hit Trump's left ear.

The portrait has been seen as red meat for Trump's MAGA supporters, who have continued to use Trump's survival—as well as his cry that day to "Fight! Fight! Fight!" in the immediate aftermath—as a rallying cry for their cause. The White House, which shared the portrait on X, did not make public comment.

The heightened attention brought with it a lot of racist and colorist comments about their hair, their skin, and their bodies—especially Serena's more muscular and curvy body.
