President Donald Trump broke from White House tradition to move former President Barack Obama's official portrait further from public view. Trump previously demoted Obama's portrait

The White House Historical Association has acquired and commissioned official portraits of the president and first lady since 1965.

President Donald Trump directed staff to move Obama’s White House portrait to the top of the Grand Staircase, CNN reports, citing sources familiar with the move. The Grand Staircase leads up to the residence, an area that is restricted to the president’s family, Secret Service and select staff.
