New Trump portrait ends decades-long tradition

Donald Trump Austin Powers
  • The White House has unveiled a new presidential portrait of Donald Trump, using a knock-off version of the Austin Powers movie theme for the reveal video on X.
  • The new portrait replaces the one introduced earlier this year and features a stern-looking Trump in a navy suit and red tie against a dark backdrop, utilizing high contrast and dark shadows.
  • This portrait is the first since Richard Nixon's in 1969 not to feature an American flag in the background, differing from Trump's first-term portrait, which showed him smiling in front of an American flag.
  • The new portrait has been updated on the White House website and Trump's Facebook account and is hung in the Eisenhower Executive Office Building.
  • The expression in Trump’s new portrait is similar to his Georgia mug shot from two years ago, which his supporters used to depict him standing up against what they viewed as the deep state.
