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.

@Nonilex What's so funny about this is that he doesn't understand how much he looks in that photo like a little boy who put on his dad's clothes and is playing Important Man

@Nonilex these clowns will never be able to delete the insurrection from the footage that ALL the TV stations in the WORLD have, plus all of our collective memories.

They'd have to destroy the Earth, ending the human race to accomplish that. They might try...

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.

A #Trump ofcl complained about that passage months earlier, when Trump was trying to force out the #NationalPortraitGallery dir.

The placard has been replaced with one whose caption is so short that the outline of the old sign is visible on the wall, simply noting Trump’s years in office. It contrasts with portraits of other presidents, including Joe Biden, Barack Obama, George W. Bush & Bill Clinton, which have wall text highlighting events during their terms. Clinton’s notes his impeachment.
