In a snub to former President Barack Obama, President Donald Trump will reportedly flout the tradition of a sitting president unveiling an official portrait of his or her predecessor to hang in the White House.

I’m pretty sure that President and Mrs. Obama are fine with that.

The next president can hold the unveiling ceremony.

And, guess who will unveil yours? No one, it will be lost somewhere in one of those packing crates.
tRump is such a spiteful, hollowed out little boy.

This is WONDERFUL news! Because now, there is actual precedent for NEVER showing the portrait of Shitgibbon ANYWHERE. Once he’s out, the whole nation can just pretend the last 4 years never happened.!

No worries. I am sure that President Biden will demonstrate the class and character to display Trump’s portrait. Perhaps either Mike Luckovitch or Tom Tomorrow would like the honor of providing the image.

Obama must never share a stage with that pig. Let their one meeting on that dark day in January 2017 be their last. Trump must be ostracized for the remainder of his days. Democrats should use precious political capital to bury Trumps legacy, deny him a library, and refuse him the honors of post presidency. It is important to do so in order to discourage another disgrace.

Oh, no! He can’t do that! If he does, how will Obama ever get elected to the middle school cheer squad? Now he’s ruined everything!

Biden will love to honor Obama very early on.

I’d love to see the one that Biden puts up of Trump when he’s president. Who gets to decide who paints the portrait, and if it’s approved?

I can think of a few choice poses:
