President Donald Trump's White House has just decided to remove and relocate a portrait of former President Barack Obama. 

According to the New York Post, the Trump administration has decided to replace the Obama portrait with the infamous "fight, fight, fight" photo from the first assassination attempt on Trump's life.

The swap

This is taking place within the Grand Foyer of the White House.

CNN reports:

A painting of an iconic scene of President Donald Trump surviving an assassination attempt in Pennsylvania last summer now hangs in the Grand Foyer of the White House . . . he Obama portrait was moved across the Grand Foyer in place of a President George W. Bush portrait. The 43rd president was moved to join his father by a nearby staircase.

The outlet goes on to explain the portrait tradition in the White House.

It writes:

White House tradition calls for portraits of the most recent American presidents to be given the most prominent placement, in the entrance of the executive mansion, visible to guests during official events.

This tradition is still being satisfied, as Trump, Obama, and Bush are all represented. Former President Joe Biden will also be represented, but it appears that his portrait has yet to be completed.

It's not the first time . . .

Trump is known for making these kinds of changes. He made a similar move, according to CNN, during his first administration.

Per the outlet:

The move is reminiscent of a decision Trump made during his first term, when he replaced portraits of Bill Clinton and George W. Bush in the Grand Foyer, choosing instead to highlight William McKinley and Theodore Roosevelt.

As for why Trump has made the move, it is because he wants to set the tone for what visitors will see when they enter the White House of his administration. In this regard, the assassination attempt photo is a fitting choice.

The Post reports:

The artwork depicts Trump, with blood splattered across his face and the American flag in the background, defiantly raising his fist in the air as Secret Service agents attempt to shield and rush him off stage.

At some point, Trump will also have an official portrait placed in the Grand Foyer, and it appears likely that this official portrait will replace the assassination attempt photo - although this has yet to be confirmed.
