When President Obama' official White House Portrait is unveiled, they should invite Clinton & Bush

Well, and Jimmy Carter, too, but Clinton and Bush should be there when their portraits are returned to their original display position. And since it's a given that trump* won't return for his unveiling, it should be done at that same time, too. Only it will be hung someplace even MOREvobscure. Maybe they can base the portrait on this because the CNN logo in the background is such a nice touch:

He can sit and look at it and admire himself from behind bars.

Just my two cents worth.

On second thought, maybe an even better idea.

Why don't we have Sarah Cooper pose for a portrait?
She is the Trump we all love. So her picture should be in the White House!

Just return the Bush and Obama portraits to their rightful places, and let it go at that. If Trump or one of his minions complains, tell them, "Maybe we'll get around to it one day."

Just as a nameless boot is the only memorial to Benedict Arnold.

And if I had anything to say about it, that would be it. No other mention of him ANYWHERE. No presidential library, no street or building or airport named after him.

Sweep him onto the dustbin of history, as he so well deserves.

and it just reenforces that opinion.

This country needs to be RID OF Trumpy and Trumpism, just as Germany did with Nazism, though they seem to be needing another cleaning these days.

I want you to understand that the current racist occupant will not allow the unveiling of the former president's portrait. You need any more proof of racism?

So, maybe they could put up a picture of his mug shot! Not in the White House, of course. Maybe they could sell posters at the gift shop.

It would be rather cool to have Pres. Biden unveil Pres. Obama's Official portrait.
