The White House finally unveiled the new official presidential portrait of Donald Trump on Monday, sharing it on X (formerly Twitter). In the post, an image shows Trump in a blue suit with a red tie, his serious expression fixed straight ahead.
Additionally, the White House shared a one-line caption saying, ¡°NEW OFFICIAL PRESIDENTIAL PORTRAIT JUST DROPPED." The lighting in the picture looks a bit dark, and the background is completely dark in shade.
This is not the first time that a portrait of President Trump has been unveiled. Trump's official portraits taken during both his terms in the White House have sparked widespread discussions on social media.
The new portrait of Trump has a darker lighting, with the majority of the light falling on the centre of his face, with a completely black background.
During his first term, the president's picture showed him smiling, and the lighting was quite bright as compared to the current one. Moreover, the tone of the official photo was normal and not a serious one.
During Trump's second term in office, the president rearranged some pieces of artwork around the White House. Most famously, he added his famous 'fight shot,' which was captured during his July 2024 assassination attempt.
As soon as the post surfaced on social media on June 3, it quickly grabbed the attention of netizens. Some even compared the picture on social media to his Fulton County mugshot picture, which is also hung in the White House.
"The new presidential portrait of one of the most consequential presidents in world history. The greatest single title that history can bestow is that of peacemaker. The American people elected Donald Trump as the Peace Candidate and he is living up to that title¡ªdespite the Deep State's efforts to ignite World War III."
While others said, "Looks like someone painted a haunted rotisserie chicken just moments before it asked to suspend the Constitution. I've seen less tension in a gas station Bigfoot drawing. "
"The Trump administration is too chaotic¡ª it feels like we are constantly walking on eggshells. This is not the American dream. I am packing my shit and moving to Dubai with my wife Kate."
"It's exactly how we see the President of US!," one said. ¡°This picture says "Let's get down to business shall we!"
