WASHINGTON — The White House on Friday hung a painting of President Donald Trump depicting a moment after an assassination attempt against him last summer — bumping the official portrait of one of his predecessors, Barack Obama.

Hanging a new presidential likeness without advance notice is unusual, and Trump putting himself in that space could be seen as him breaking with norms yet again. By tradition, portraits of the two most recent former presidents go on display in the foyer — and Trump is in the unique position of also being a former president.

Obama’s portrait went on display in the foyer of the State Floor, near the staircase to the president’s residence, after it was unveiled in 2022. The White House said it is still in the foyer, but has been moved to the opposite wall, where a portrait of former President George W. Bush used to hang. Plans are to move Bush’s portrait nearer to his father’s, former President George H.W. Bush, which is on the staircase to the residence.
