In 2018, Trump was interviewed by American media on TV in the White House. A brief shot captured the paintings hanging on the wall of his office, and sharp-eyed viewers took screenshots and posted them online.


That’s the painting above, which was hung in the White House office during Trump’s presidency.

This painting attracted a lot of attention at the time. In the picture, Trump and the Republican presidents of the United States, such as Lincoln, Eisenhower, Nixon, Roosevelt, Reagan, Bush Sr. and Bush Jr., were "sitting" at a table, drinking wine and chatting happily. Trump, who was sitting in the center and surrounded by everyone, was "chatting and laughing" and looked very proud.


However, after seeing this painting, many people on the Internet joked that the painter had at least made Trump lose 10 kilograms.



The painting was originally presented to Trump by self-taught artist Andy Thomas, who said he initially showed it at a private club before it was spotted by California Rep. Darrell Issa, who gave it to Trump.


"Trump called me personally and said he had seen many portraits of himself and was not satisfied with any of them, but he liked this one very much," Thomas said. Some people said that this painting reflects Trump's "special taste" and his "ambition" to stand shoulder to shoulder with these famous presidents.


At 18:00 on July 13, 2024, Trump was attacked during a speech at a campaign rally in Pennsylvania. With his right ear injured and blood on his face, Trump shouted, "Fight! Fight!"

This scene seems to add a bit of passionate oil painting color to it and will also be recorded in history.
