Ah my bad - it's gorgeous, though. I love it. Especially when you see it among those other dull, colorless portraits. Hard to imagine some people look at that mock-up and think that Obama's is the problematic portrait there.

It’s problematic for them. But not because of the background.

No I get that - it's just, it's such a beautiful portrait and the fact they think including it is an argument against Obama is really something

It stands out in such a good way compared to the same old same old surrounding it.

That is the Portrait Museum’s portrait of Obama - not the White House portrait.

Trump in theory will have both a portrait gallery and WH portrait. But he would have to sit for one. Maybe they can do it while he’s on the toilet, eating a Big Mac while he writes an email about a hole in one. His natural state.

I love Obama's portrait. I think it's so bright, and cheerful, and still dignified. It shows some appreciation for art, not just some hearkening back to those stolid, dull oil portraits of a man in a suit looking like he's thinking about lunch.

I shudder to think of what Trump's will look like. Maybe they can just borrow that tax fraud portrait he bought for himself a while ago.
