President Trump at the National Portrait Gallery

@SoDakCampaigns

Corresponding from the national portrait gallery this afternoon.

Learned an interesting fact. Apparently both President Donald and Melania Trump are represented by photographs because artists cannot be secured to paint them.

Similarly, only found one picture of them during their residency while on my White House tour.

  1. I’ve also gotten the impression that Trump hasn’t really embraced the typical “former president” rituals, like commissioning a portrait or building a presidential library, because he hopes to return to the White House.

    One would have thought that he would love the idea of building a presidential library. It’s a big, multi-million dollar museum about his favorite subject – himself! And he would certainly plan to build the “biggest” “greatest” library of them all.

    But in fact there has been basically no talk about this – no fundraising, no stories about where it will be built.

    It’s pretty clear that he views a library and a portrait as an admission that he is “done” and, in his mind and in fact, that very much remains to be seen.

    1. Yankton would be a great choice for the Trump Presidential Library, if you catch my drift.

      1. i suspect you mean that big beautiful library building on the former yankton college campus. it’d be the first presidential library to provide presidential housing. interesting.

    2. This library is going to go in South Dakota, behind his head on the revision of Mt Rushmore.

  2. He probably planned to turn Mar a Lago into a presidential library, but then the FBI would confiscate everything in it, so there would be no point

    1. Probably could have if he didnt mess around with classified defense plans and refuse to give them back, but hey, here we are.

  3. it’s a great 45th president portrait, very presidential. certainly very very handsome, you can say it. come on. and yuge, very big. probably no others bigger. everyone tells me this.

    1. Did they tell you this with tears in their eyes, while saying “Sir, this is the most beautiful portrait that I have ever seen?”

  4. Surprised they didn’t have Ben Garrison do the portrait… That would have been CLASSY.
