Trump moves Obama, Bush portraits to hidden stairwell: CNN

DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA, UNITED STATES, AUG 10 – President Trump moved official portraits of Obama and Bushes to a restricted staircase area rarely seen by visitors, breaking tradition of prominent display, sources said.

  • Ordering the relocation of President Donald Trump moved the official portrait of Barack Obama to a hidden staircase, also relocating portraits of George W. Bush and George H.W. Bush.
  • In April, staffers moved Obama's portrait across the White House, replacing it with a Trump scene amid escalating tensions in recent months.
  • The restricted area is rarely seen by visitors, and the portrait now sits in a heavily restricted, out-of-view location, according to sources.
  • Unprecedentedly, the moves break White House protocol by relocating the official portrait of Barack Obama to a less prominent position, underscoring tensions between recent presidents.
  • According to reports, the portrait maneuvers mark Trump’s latest slight against a perceived political rival, reflecting his hands-on style in White House decor decisions.
