Trump is refusing to unveil Obama's portrait at the White House, breaking a 40-year tradition

President Donald Trump and former President Barack Obama prior to Obama's departure during the 2017 presidential inauguration at the US Capitol January 20, 2017 in Washington, DC.President Donald Trump will not hold a ceremony at the White House for the unveiling of former President Barack Obama's portrait, NBC News reported.

For decades, first-term presidents have held ceremonies in the East Room to unveil the portraits of their closest predecessor. Obama did so for former President George W. Bush in 2012, for example. Trump and Obama have perhaps the most contentious relationship of any current and former president in modern US history. In recent days, Trump has made baseless allegations thatPrior to his transition from reality TV to politics, Trump spent years perpetuating a racist conspiracy theory regarding Obama's place of birth.

Obama has generally avoided the limelight since leaving the White House. In the rare instances in which he's criticized Trump, the former president has often done so without saying his successor's name. Over the weekend, Obama appeared to excoriate Trump's response to the coronavirus pandemic, but did not explicitly mention the current occupant of the White House.

Phillip2020Vote Trump is a petty, petty man. And consumed with jealousy of Obama.

I'm make Graphic designs for $6. anyone interested?

It's a painting of Obama in a van listening to Trump on a tapped line.

tkhereandthere He’s a big child! Excuse of a man! Needs to be ripped kicking and screaming from the WH. I can imagine what he was like at school, a bully and a cheat.

Phillip2020Vote TrumpIsJealousOfObama ObamaDidEverythingBetter

Check your fact & try some Journalists research!! He'll go down as most crooked Pres in our lifetime. He knows things he's done & loves the country. Blinders off sheep r keep ur mask on

Poor baby would get his feelings hurt seeing it up there. Seeing a vital, honest man whose in far better shape than he ever was on the walls is just too much for this ugly spoiled child.

He should be forced to. The man can't do one presidential thing. Narcissist, jealous POS. ObamaGreat

Phillip2020Vote He is a very petty little man

That's OK. In a few short months, President Biden will.

BarackObama couldnt care less. Most important that the people know he was POTUS 🇺🇸

Seriously? What a shame, no respect.

Isn't Obama refusing to testify? Interesting focus from the Biased Insider

Ok but karma can be a bitch.

They don't like him, but they still vote him in November.

Trump is an example to the world that money does not buy class.

'Things change'....isn't that what (the atrocious) Meghan Markle said? How did she get to be a princess again? Princess no more, note...either you fit the bill or you do not.

Considering Obama has broken the tradition of not speaking against his predecessor too! N spied on him too

Who wants to look at bam bans mfg ugly monkey face anyway

All the power to you PRESIDENT TRUMP

its only a potrait

Petty but expected when you have an ass as President realDonaldTrump

Lol this guy is such a baby

Unimportant

Why should he? Obama is the guy that turned the other way when his cronies tried to sabotage the Trump presidency from the start?

Lock up Trump

'Things change'....isn't that what (the atrocious) Meghan Markle said? How did she she get to be a princess again? Princess no more, note...either you fit the bill or you do not.

Why should Donald Trump do that? It’s very clear Obama committed true crimes and no it hasn’t been debunked business insider. Samantha powers lied under oath. Susan Rice lied publicly and then Underoath said there’s no evidence. Obama attempted a coup. realDonaldTrump VP

Biden can do it in January

Все правильно сделал.

“extraordinarily contentious relationship” NO, one man is a distinguished world leader of integrity and compassion, the other a sniveling, racist, orange mobster who must feed its thirsty ego via degrading others. They don’t have *any* kind of relationship. FFS

Another day, another disgraceful act. Stop embarrassing America

Trump is a tiny little shadow of a man ! His jealousy of Obama has been on display for the World to see. Trump is pathetic !!!

Contentious relationship implies equivalence on both sides. DJT's called Obama a criminal, a Muslim born in Kenya, doubted his academic record, called him a very bad or sick guy & that's a tiny subset. Obama has not even mentioned DJT's name. A leaked call criticized policy. not=

trumpmanchild whinylittlebitch

Imagine being this petty. Does it really matter Trump. Just let go of some pride and just do be gracious.

Obama broke a 220+ year tradition of harmoniously transitioning power to an incoming President. He spied on President Trump and is lucky that unveiling his portrait is the only thing that happens to the corrupt Obama. He should be prosecuted.

Such tiny hands. What a small and petty man. How in the hell did he con so many in to believing he’s an embodiment of masculinity? He’s a bloated pumpkin stuffed with insecurity.

Of course he won't. He can't stand to look at a real president. He compares himself to Obama constantly, knowing that he can never be a good man, never be that loved and admired. Looking at Obama harms Trump's massive ego.

trumplethinskin MoronsAreGoverningAmerica MAGA

Hopefully, this will be 45's portrait:

Jealous man-child!!!

pettylittlemanchild

Pretty sure Obama could care less. Let another President do it later.

That man is like a big child.

Pettiness personified.

I hope Biden burns trump’s portrait in the Rose Garden all while passing out Bud Lights to only Dem members of Congress

RacismDog

Jfc 🤦🏻‍♂️ what class

Ma_LoJ racist steak

The president after you which is soon, will not even want to put up your pic too.

realDonaldTrump proving once again how pathetic, pitiful, and insecure he is! He is such a joke. His tens of thousands lies can’t hide that on the inside he knows he is incompetent and inadequate. these petty actions only highlight it.

That’s dumb and petty. OTOH a little understandable since it now seems Obama may have orchestrated the beginnings of Russiagate (at least his admin spying) and (a) is actively 2nd guessing current pres in time of crisis (another tradition break) and (b) is campaigning for Biden

That’s ok Don but don’t whitewash it.

KarlRove What was that you were saying the other day?

As long as 52% of your USAmerican fellows are getting excited about this stable genius with preference for burgers, he represents the average capability of understanding complexity accurately.

Huh, what childishness is this now?This is a 'first' world leader🤣😂is what Obama said about his way of handeling the situation at hand?

Sure if you asked Former President Obama about Trump not putting his picture up, bet he really doesn’t care. He is petty. If anything Former POTUS should pay Trump rent for setting up shop in this brain.

Ahhh this guy kraa why?

That realDonaldTrump is a vindictive little boy isn't he.

Here’s why 👇🏼

Great! Obama was the most corrupt president in US history. We are supposed to celebrate that?

Obama broke tradition when he spied on Trump’s campaign.

Here’s Trump’s official portrait. The most accurate rendering ever done of a president.

Ha! Good for him! I saw a clip from 2011 that BHO was giving PT some shit at some function. Paybacks a bitch Barrie.

Who can explain to me the hatred of Trump towards Obama even before he became president? What did Obama do that cause him so hostile?

Melania looks happier at a funeral than she has in ages. Wouldn’t you too if you went from being with Donald every day to sitting next to Barack?” wrote one person on Twitter.

Too petty.

'Trump and Obama have had an extraordinarily contentious relationship...' - WRONG!!! trump has been extraordinarily contentious. President Obama has been respectful of the office, & his behavior has always been very mature and sophisticated.

Everything you need to know about this in 2 min and 20 seconds Watch! This is what the press isn't saying

Intersting that all the negative comments from south africans. Your president is way worse.... and the one before him also.... so maybe take the tree out of your own eye first.....

Who cares? Oh boy, a 40 year old tradition, Trump must honor the sacred tradition 🤦‍♂️

Obamagate

africaupdates BarackObama didn’t cause a global epidemic so who is really at fault here?

Obama 🤡 was never vetted. We found out he was never a citizen. 🤬🇺🇸

africaupdates This man is actually going nuts.

Monkey's are blessed with more beautiful noses and looks than Trump.

Obama is the most corrupt president in American history. A stain on America!

Not so bad, in prison, where he is in November, none of Trump hangs either Either way, history will brand him and his disgusting moves forever👌

mabbmike poor guy can even handle looking at a picture of Obama. ❄️

not really a surprise. Better than being 2 faced though, something a of the younger generation on both sides of the split seem to be.

Trump is bitter asf lol. Does anybody have a cure for grumpy old man syndrome

Anything that is reasonable and honorable, you can bet trump will do the complete opposite. Absolute scum.

ObamaGate ConstitutionalRights

The petty president. Is he still off sulking because Pelosi called him fat?

Look, I am not a supporter of Obama. At the same time, I respect him, and the Office of the President of the United States. Put your ego aside, and do what is right!

Petty spite. Says it all about him and his supporters and what is his major issue with Obama? His blackness. No two ways about it there is not other rationale

Trump is the King of all Man-Childs.

I'm partial to this one myself....It really captures his spirit trump portrait USA obama

I mean really though are we surprised? SMH he is terrible but in no way does this shock me at all!

For more cartoons subscribe to

or maybe this one?

Trump has no class. But we already new this about the insecure loser.

he wants this one up instead

Although trump holds the title, he will never be a real president. I doubt Obama is too bothered. And once America does have a real president, all these traditions can be reinstated.

What a child

Trump's fear of Obama is palpable. An example of a President he could even aspire to. A snapshot of Trump's insecurity to his betters.

Surprise, surprise.

Good move Mr. President. realDonaldTrump

Petty & unprofessional. But that's the way of the obese pumpkin.

hai this man

OBAMA attacked America: 1. Attempted to manipulate election ... using FOREIGN agencies to spy on AMERICANS 2. Manipulated presidential TRANSITION 3. SABOTAGED presidential DUTIES. Media hiding facts and misleading public. Many evidences now in public domain. ObamaGate

How classless and disgusting he is

Maybe in 2024 he’ll do it.

He's a coward

WOW!! That is certainly a pathetic act by the current President.🤦‍♂️

Good!

Let Melania do it. Every day, She must secretly long to see an actual man instead of a fat androgynous blob.

Nice. ObamaGate

Biden will do it

What a baby...

Good. Trump is a loathsome criminal.

Good. Obama is a loathsome criminal.
