The National Portrait Gallery swapped out President Donald Trump’s official presidential portrait on display this week and changed his biography while they were at it. The New York Times reported Saturday that the language on the wall about Trump and his history “removed wall text that referred to President Trump’s two impeachments — language that had upset the White House.”The official painting of Trump was recently replaced in the “America’s Presidents” exhibition, and the biography was as well. Previously, the language read: “Impeached twice, on charges of abuse of power and incitement of insurrection after supporters attacked the U.S. Capitol on January 6, 2021, he was acquitted by the Senate in both trials.”Earlier last year, Trump fired Portrait Gallery Director Kim Sajet, crafting a dossier on her “partisanship and bias” to justify firing her. The previous image of Trump featured his big smile and reddish skin as he stands in front of a flag and what appears to be the gold Oval Office wallpaper. The new official painting has his head floating in a sea of black with his signature red tie dangling from his neck. His hands are folded in front of him, and he’s lit dramatically from his left, leaving his right side in shadow. White House spokesman Davis Ingle told the Times that the “iconic photo” of Trump will spread and his “unmatched aura will be seen and felt throughout the halls of the National Portrait Gallery.”The Trump biography says only that he is the 45th and 47th president and was born in 1946. Former President Bill Clinton’s portrait notes his impeachment for “lying while under oath about a sexual relationship he had with a White House intern.”Read the full report here.
