According to CNN, President Donald Trump has made a quiet but striking change inside the White House — moving the official portrait of former President Barack Obama from its traditional public display to a little-used, “hidden” stairwell.
Traditionally, portraits of former presidents are showcased prominently for visiting dignitaries, press tours, and official functions. By shifting Obama’s portrait to an area rarely seen by anyone outside White House staff, Trump has broken with decades of bipartisan tradition.
Insiders say the move is emblematic of the long-standing tension between the two leaders. From dismantling Obama-era policies to trading personal jabs in speeches and interviews, their rivalry has been one of the defining political dramas of the past decade.
The relocation has already sparked outrage among critics, who call it an intentional slight, while supporters see it as a symbolic statement of Trump’s rejection of Obama’s legacy.
Whether calculated or coincidental, the move ensures one thing — the conversation about their feud isn’t going away anytime soon.
