Donald Trump will no longer pass the portraits of former Presidents Bill Clinton and George W. Bush on his way to the Oval Office every morning. According to CNN, the White House has removed the official portraits from the Grand Foyer (or Entrance Hall), the formal entrance to the House and a central location where guests and world leaders are greeted, to a smaller, less frequented room.
Reportedly, the presidential portraits of Clinton and Bush were moved last week to the Old Family Dining Room, a room rarely used or seen by visitors. The new location also removes the portraits from Trump’s view as he descends from his third-floor private residence to the State Floor.
The portraits were replaced by those of former Republican presidents more revered by Trump, according to CNN’s report. Bush’s portrait was replaced by the 25th president, William McKinley. The Clinton portrait has been replaced by McKinley’s successor, Theodore Roosevelt.
