The Trump administration has unveiled a fresh portrait of the U.S. president, and everyone is saying the same thing.
It seems that Donald Trump has several self-portraits hung around the White House, while the paintings of Barack Obama and George Bush have been relocated to a seldom-used staircase.
The president attempted to show off a different portrait to world leaders during a summit with President Zelensky and other European leaders earlier this week.
But his attempts didn’t go as smoothly as planned, while some leaders briefly glanced over, appearing rather uninterested, others completely ignored the ego-boosting gesture.
French President Emmanuel Macron continued to look straight ahead, as per the Irish Star.
Receiving little to no reaction to the portrait, which depicted the moment he was shot in the ear during his presidential election campaign, Trump said: “That was not a good day. Not a great day. See the picture?”
The 79-year-old has been on a mission to refurbish the White House since taking office for the second term, including a makeover of the Rose Garden, and adding numerous gold accents around the Oval Office.
Many of the changes have included replacing portraits of former presidents.
But when Sebastian Gorka, the deputy assistant to the president, revealed a new portrait earlier this week, people were quick to recognize a disturbing detail.
The latest artwork depicts Trump striding through American flags with an orange blur behind him, which viewers noticed had a striking resemblance to flames.
The piece was created by artist Vanessa Horabuena, who describes herself as a Christian worship artist.
One user on X (formerly Twitter) questioned: “Why is the country on fire behind him?”
As another said: “Fits. America is on fire in the background, and Trump walks away.”
But others noted that replacing pictures of former presidents with new artwork of himself, sums his personality up pretty nicely.
“The man can’t get enough of himself,” one remarked.
As another wrote: “As per usual, it’s all about his ego.”
But others noticed another detail in the portrait.
One asked: “Did you request the portrait to appear 60 lbs lighter than reality?”
Speaking about his meeting with European leaders about the war in Ukraine, Trump said: “I think that the European nations are going to take a lot of the burden.
“We’re going to help them, and we’re going to make it very secure.”
Trump added that U.S. support for Ukraine would continue regardless of the outcome of negotiations.
He noted: “It’s never the end of the road.
“People are being killed, and we want to stop that.
“So, I would not say it was the end of the road. I think we have a good chance of doing it.”
