“America’s Presidents” is a permanent exhibition, located on the second floor of the National Portrait Gallery at 8th and G Streets, NW in Washington, D.C.
WASHINGTON DC – When the Smithsonian’s National Portrait Gallery reopens on May 14 after being closed because of the Covid-19 pandemic, it will do so with a new work—a photograph of former President Donald J. Trump. Installed in the museum’s signature exhibition, “America’s Presidents,” the portrait will hang in a space reserved for the nation’s most recent former president and will be a part of the permanent collections:
“The 2019 image of Trump is one of many captured by the award-winning photographer Pari Dukovic, while on assignment for Time magazine. Taken on June 17, after Trump officially announced his plans to run for reelection, the image depicts him perched at the edge of a maroon chair with one hand resting on the historic Resolute Desk in the Oval Office.”
How long before the cancer (cancel) culture demands it’s removal? From day 1 I did volunteer work for this man knowing he was the one for Us. Thank you President Trump for everything you gave back to us!
Solid
A helluva photo. A masterpiece! MAGA!
Best President of my lifetime!
Just wait until that nut job, who keeps smashing his star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, finds out and shows up with his sledgehammer.
NO ONE does it better!
God bless our president!!!
Better looking (in all ways) from the presidential portrait that preceded his.
Miss him making America Great. It’s what he did best.
*** Does***. It’s what he *does* best.
It isn’t over yet. This outstanding man is not through. Just watch!
Over 100 million Americans stood by him, so keep the Faith and believe in him and America. We must Pray and believe that God is showing his strength for us all.
So thankful I was alive to experience the Trump years first-hand and that I cast my vote for him, with great pride, twice. ???? The Greatest Of All Time! ????
Many of us are looking forward to cast our vote for him for the third time (16,20,24). Best President ever!
Well…..at some point, this *better* be replaced with a painting.
I say that as a painter, but still……..
I find it amazing there are artists who could paint this just as the photo shows. I second your wish for a painting….Jon McNaughton?
I nominate Sunnydaze to do the painting.
Yikes! No thanks.
There are better portrait artists than me out there! It’d take me 5 years just to get the drawing right. LOL.
Well, if it were the 1970s I’d nominate James Bama.
I can guarantee the portrait will not be Trump sitting on a chair in a bush.
That was SO gay, wasn’t it?
My husband saw the Obama portrait for the first time last night, and asked “Why is he in a bush?”
lol
Fantastic! I miss him so much!
Incredible photo of an outstanding President.
Beautiful!
It makes me sad to see the real President not in the WH.. God bless President Trump
The Smithsonian and the treasures of America should be under guard at all times because treasures have been stolen buy that corrupt money pit and it’s leaders.
His expression and pose reminds me of Churchill. Maybe it was planned that way.
I was thinking the same thing…
Really great photo! Shows a man of action.
Former President?
That would imply he lost the election.
In fact he won by the biggest landslide in history.
He is still President of The United States of America!
FACT!
AMEN!!!
Thank you, Petra!!! Thank you, President Donald John Trump, for loving and believing in America and its people! We love and miss you, sir!
Correct! There are enough of us all, we will show our strength and see the bright ending.
AWESOME PICTURE OF AN AWESOME PRESIDENT
MAGA
Call me crazy but I think DJT should run in 2024 and pick Tulsi Gabbard as VP. It would make a good combo and pull alot of indendent and women voters
Pick Tulsi, who was as nasty as any of them when talking about PDT? What are you smoking?
Tulsi is a fraud. We need to stop allowing the enemy into our camp. It’s why GOP is in the state that it’s in now. Put DeSantis on the ticket.
She’s like all the rest – a great “talker” – no action. What has she stood up for? Has she come out against the voter fraud?
The leader of the Free World. Legit 45.
Hi All,
I know I’m from the other side of the Planet, but by gibbedy I agree with a lot of the sentiments below. I didn’t know what a politician really was until PDJT came along.
He has motivated 000’s of patriots & reminded us all of our sacred duty to not only our countries, but for future generations to protect what is theirs.
If you are someone who has volunteered to become a precinct person, or to become a committee member for the RNC, good on you! MAGA
I’m not sure whether it has received much publicity but Bob Katter is an Aus Member of Parliament. Always struck me as as mad as a hatter, but occasionally he come’s out with gems of truth –
So much truth as presented here would explode the head’s of America’s drive-by media, who see it as their job to proselytize for statism and leftist causes in general, rather than to simply inform the populace.
Bob’s comments about Biden’s weakness being a danger to world peace, on the order of Neville Chamberlain, are spot on. In the face of the imperial aspirations of the Chinese government, the feckless ineptitude and soy dispositions of the Biden regime are like a red flag before a bull in heat. This particular coup will turn out to be more costly than we’d even imagined.
Compare that to Obama’s green portrait
This portrait has GRAVITAS!
STATESMAN!
Wonderful portrait of a great man..
That’s the “Getting Stuff Done” pose… always leaning forward.
Ready for action.
His face looks out of focus?
When I look at the portrait, he is looking at me…an American… he is concerned about me and my family.
President Trump is one of the few who EARNED this spot in history.
Just something else to trigger the left.
Trump was Best president of my life,
We need Remove all lib cancel culture in America,
we must be boycott all those lib Businesses,
The good news is that this portrait will replace the Obama portrait which has gotten prominent display in the Presidential Gallery for 4 years.
Up until now, this was the official D J Trump portrait on display in the Smithsonian:
Here is the official Smithsonian FLOTUS portrait:

I love and miss our intelligent, kind and gorgeous First Lady Melania Trump!
anybody know where i can get a copy? it s dynamite
You can touch it and save to your own photos.

Biden will probably be wearing a mask in his portrait—if there is one.
There’s not enough leaves in the background… <smirk!> Seriously, how was that Obama picture even close to being art? All I could think from the image was “Obama leaving.”
That’s going to trigger some nuts.
The Man of the Nation’s Business.
A man with presence…
I will get a framed print of that and hang it in my house.
Anyone who reacts negatively will be turned around and shown the door.
How soon will it be vandalized?
I miss him every single day.
May God bless Donald J. Trump and his family.
A very Churchillian pose. Love it!
Compare and contrast… Obama’s always reminds me of the Homer Simpson sinking into the hedges gif.
Barry looks like he’s sitting on a commode.
The look on Obama’s face is “What happened?” Trump happened.
I hope there will be prints of this available. Meeting President Trump and getting an autographed photo is on my bucket list. I’m looking at some possibilities of making that happen. I bought his book in ‘87 and have been an ardent admirer since. I was thrilled the day he descended the escalator with our beautiful First Lady. God Bless you President Trump for coming to the aide of our great nation when she and her Patriots needed you most! You did not need the job and certainly not the unmitigated, orchestrated bullshit from the bowels of hell. You have inspired us, reminding us that we are Americans, where failure is not an option!
What a Presidential Portrait is all about.
What a stunning picture! It captures the grit, determination and resolve of greatness.
President Trump looks like he’s going to get up and do things…which he did!
The subtle part I most appreciate is that it’s a dynamic pose. Not resting on his laurels, he appears ready to spring up and attack the next problem that “needs fixin'”!
How can ya not love the guy?
That’s what made it perfect…he is ready to move not just sit there.
This portrait needs to be protected at all costs. Amazing!
Interesting that the US Flag is not pictured.
I think for that to be included, the vantage point would have to be 180 degrees, since the American flag is properly positioned where it stands, in relation to the rest of the flags in the office?
It’s the pin on his lapel, over his heart. He always wore a flag pin.
Where can I get a print of that to hang in my home?
He looks ready to take on the entire swamp world.
Again.
Great picture…perfect.
