That’s exactly the spot where a portrait of Barack Obama used to be.

As you probably might have guessed, the talking point on the Left is “OMG Trump’s people got rid of the Obama portrait!!”

So Trump ditched tradition, broke protocol, and took down Barack Obama’s portrait—just to hang his own.

Now imagine the reaction from the Left the next time a Democrat is in the White House and tosses Trump pictures in a dumpster.

White House comms director Steven Cheung had some news for any Dems clutching their pearls over the Obama portrait:

Pipe down, moron.

The Obama portrait was just moved a few feet away. https://t.co/2K6XsHn54N

You can already hear the Dems working on a “just like a dictator would” narrative.

Those precious inches are really damaging to our Democracy 😭

They might as well have done that because that’s what the Left and media will say happened to it anyway.
