The #NationalPortraitGallery removed a swath of text that mentioned Trump’s 2 #impeachments & the #Jan6, 2021, #insurrection as it swapped out a prominent photo of him this week.
#Trump & the White House posted on social media Fri & Sat to highlight the updated portrait in the “America’s Presidents” exhibition, which now features a framed B&W photo by White House photographer Daniel Torok.

It replaced a photo by photojournalist Matt McClain, which showed #Trump with his hands folded in front of him, & was accompanied by a longer caption recounting Trump’s first term & his reelection. “Impeached twice, on charges of #AbuseOfPower & #incitement of #insurrection after supporters attacked the U.S. Capitol on January 6, 2021, he was acquitted by the Senate in both trials,” it read in part.
