The White House was mocked by social media users after it revealed President Donald Trump's latest presidential portrait in a bizarre video—not too long after it faced criticism for other oddball portraits of Trump that have been on display.

In posts on X and Instagram, the White House declared that a "NEW OFFICIAL PRESIDENTIAL PORTRAIT JUST DROPPED," words accompanied by American flag and fire emojis.

The result the Trump administration is celebrating is... not great.

It kind of a looks like a mugshot... one of those comes to mind.

People were not impressed.


The White House was criticized in January for unveiling a portrait of Trump just before his inauguration. It shows him dressed in a blue suit and tie, standing before an American flag, a stern expression on his face—and that one also looked like a mugshot.

The New York Timeswrote then that the portrait "does not exactly scream celebration," noting that Trump was "shown sternly squinting, bathed in eerie, David Lynchian lighting from below, high-powered strobes reflected in his eyes" in a pose like the one "he struck for his 2024 mug shot, taken by the Fulton County, Georgia, sheriff’s office in that state’s election interference case."

And just last month, a journalist shared a photo of a portrait of Trump and former presidents Abraham Lincoln and Ronald Reagan that now hangs in the West Wing. Trump is shown flanked by the two former leaders, a decision that prompted critics to point out that the portrait is a reflection of the president's narcissism.

Additionally, a separate portrait depicting the attempt on Trump's life last summer was derided because it replaced a portrait of former President Barack Obama.

There are a few "roommate etiquette" rules we should all be able to agree to: don't use or take something that doesn't belong to you, at least without asking; don't eat your roommate's food; and honestly, don't touch their food, especially with your bare hands.

A leading rule, however, should be: If you break something that belongs to your roommate, you should replace it.
