If you visit the White House, you no longer have to stare up at an image of Barack Obama — or either of the Bushes, for that matter.
Reportedly at the direction of President Trump, the official portrait of Barack Obama has been moved from the White House entryway to a stairwell that only a few have access to.
The portraits of George W. Bush Sr. & Jr. have also been moved to less public places.
Specifically, the portrait of Obama now hangs at the top of the Grand Staircase, which is only accessible to the first family, Secret Service, and some White House staff.
CNN reported:
Once a dramatic feature of the White House entryway, the official portrait of former President Barack Obama has been moved to a decidedly less prominent position, underscoring the years long tensions between the 44th and 47th presidents.
Portraits of other recent predecessors with whom President Donald Trump has a contentious relationship, former President George W. Bush and his father, George H. W. Bush, have also been moved.
Trump directed staff to move the Obama portrait to the top of the Grand Staircase, two sources familiar with the matter told CNN, where it will now be out of view from thousands of visitors who tour the White House each day. One of the sources added that the portraits of both Bushes are also now in the staircase area.
Multiple sources have said that the president is directly involved with nearly everything that is done to the aesthetic of the White House, big or small.
CNN obtained a photo of the Obama portrait hanging at the top of the stairwell in a corner, at the landing of the entrance to the private residence. That area is heavily restricted to members of the first family, US Secret Service agents, and a limited number of White House and executive residence staff. It is firmly out of view for any visitor hoping to see the photorealistic Robert McCurdy painting of the former president, a source familiar with the matter confirmed.
