Overview
- The National Portrait Gallery installed a new black‑and‑white Oval Office photo of President Trump by White House photographer Daniel Torok, replacing a prior image and longer label.
- The new display omits previous references to Trump’s two impeachments and the Jan. 6 Capitol attack, leaving only brief identifiers such as his presidency and birth year.
- As observed by reporters, Trump was the only president in the gallery without extended biographical wall text, while labels for Bill Clinton and Andrew Johnson still note their impeachments.
- A Smithsonian spokesperson said the update is part of a planned refresh that tests shorter “tombstone” labels, adding that impeachment history remains represented elsewhere in the museums.
- The White House celebrated the portrait and continues to press a broad content review, with a January 13 deadline for internal documents and warnings that funding could be at risk.
