The White House announced Tuesday that it is releasing the official portrait of President Tяump to be hung in thousands of government offices nationwide, and in all U.S. embassies and consulates overseas — twelve months after he was sworn in.

The portrait had been conspicuously missing from the lobbies of government buildings and office walls, which have been graced by empty picture frames and hooks. Initially there had been speculation that the empty frames and hooks were intended by the White House to be the actual representation of President Tяump

Truly a sad clown. A sad sick clown.

It clown.

“**ithole” clown.

Much too sympathetic, Trump is an evil demon.

But that suggests that Trump is pennywise. How much has he spent on his golf trips again?

If you think of Trump as being Satanically possessed, all of his actions make sense.

This is the most touching and thoughtful image of President Trump I have seen to date. Might we substitute “Vesti la giubba” in place of “Hail to the Chief” to set a new tone for his presidency?

With ANY luck at all, the picture will be mounted on a cork backing – so at least the presidential portrait will serve SOME useful purpose.

I think this is a major insult to Emmett Kelly and all clowns everywhere.

That pic is ready to be put on the cover of Time mag. Clown of the year.

Raising the question, “How many clowns can fit in a jail cell”?
