President Donald Trump may be tall, but he continues to prove that deep down inside he’s a teeny tiny little baby man.
Case in point, according to CNN, Trump decided to essentially hide former president Barack Obama’s official portrait from the White House — and Gov. Gavin Newsom (D-Calif.) is calling the move like he sees it.
Typically, White House protocol calls for portraits of the most recent American presidents to be featured prominently in the entrance way, so that they’re visible during official events and visitors on tours.
But Trump directed staff to move Robert McCurdy’s photorealistic painting of the 44th president to the top of the Grand Staircase into a corner where most can’t see it. CNN, who obtained a photo of the portrait’s new location, also noted that it’s now hanging on a landing leading into a private residence that is heavily restricted.
Portraits of former presidents George W. Bush and his father, George H. W. Bush, have also been moved to the same location.
