In a move that is sure to rankle Barack Obama, the White House has relegated the 44th president's portrait to a dark corner.

The painting by Robert McCurdy was previously visible in the entranceway, but now hangs at the top of a stairwell, out of public view.

It is the latest example of how Trump is leaving his mark on the White House, to the chagrin of critics who complain he is taking revenge against his enemies.

Obama's portrait hidden away

According to CNN, Trump ordered the White House to move Obama's portrait to a tightly restricted area "at the landing of the entrance to the private residence."

The White House also moved pictures of President George H.W. Bush and his son George W. Bush, both members of a political dynasty that Trump overthrew in his takeover of the Republican party, and American politics more broadly.

The portraits of the Bushes and Obama are now invisible to "thousands of visitors who tour the White House each day," CNN's article stated, noting Trump's involvement in the finest details of White House decor.

Trump remodels WH

Last week, Trump gave reporters a surprise when he took a stroll on the roof of the White House to survey his renovations of the grounds.

The real estate mogul-turned-president has paved over the Rose Garden and is planning to build a new ballroom, projects that have elicited strong reactions from critics.

Trump has also placed mementos to his historic political career throughout the White House, including a picture of his mugshot that hangs in a hallway outside the Oval Office.

The White House moved the Obama portrait from its original place in the Grand Foyer back in April to make room for a painting of the iconic moment Trump survived an assassination attempt in Butler, Pennsylvania.

Getting even

According to tradition, pictures of the most recent U.S. presidents are displayed for the public in the White House entranceway, but Trump has shown little regard for convention as he goes about transforming Washington D.C. in his image, having mounted an unlikely comeback after years of attempts by his enemies to delegitimize his political ascent, destroy him financially and even send him to prison.

Trump recently remarked on the difference between his two terms by saying he was "the hunted" before, but has now become "the hunter."

The Trump administration has accused Obama of leading a treasonous conspiracy to derail Trump's first presidential term by weaponizing U.S. intelligence to manufacture a false narrative tying Trump to Russia. Obama was rattled enough by the Trump administration's claims to release a statement dismissing them as a "distraction."

Trump's attorney general, Pam Bondi, has opened a grand jury probe into Obama officials over the Russia hoax, although it is unlikely that Obama himself will face criminal charges.
