White House Hangs Defiant Trump Portrait, Moves Obama’s Painting to Make Room | Watch

In a bold move, the White House replaced Barack Obama’s portrait in the Grand Foyer with a dramatic new painting of Donald Trump. The artwork depicts Trump bloodied but defiant, moments after surviving an assassination attempt in 2024. Created by Marc Lipp and donated by school safety advocate Andrew Pollack, the image captures Trump’s resilience and has been placed in a traditionally prestigious space. While critics noted the protocol shift, the Obama portrait remains on display elsewhere, ensuring no break in tradition while spotlighting Trump’s symbolic comeback. #TrumpPortrait #WhiteHouseArt #TrumpVsObama #ObamaPortraitMoved #TrumpAssassinationAttempt #TrumpPainting #GrandFoyer #PoliticalArt #MarcLipp #AndrewPollack #MeadowPollack #ParklandShooting #Trump2024 #TrumpDefiant #AmericanFlag #ButlerPA #WhiteHouseUpdate #PresidentialPortraits #ObamaArt #EastWing ~HT.178~GR.121~ED.102~

Trump Scraps Obama-Biden Era Water Limits, Says ‘I Need to Wash My Beautiful Hair!’ [Video]

Trump Scraps Obama-Biden Era Water Limits, Says ‘I Need to Wash My Beautiful Hair!’

Former President Donald Trump rolled back an Obama-Biden era rule limiting showerheads to 2.5 gallons per minute, calling the regulation “ridiculous.” During his White House tenure, Trump joked about the low water pressure affecting his ability to shower and wash his “beautiful hair.” The move was part of his sweeping deregulation campaign and extended to toilets, dishwashers, and more. Supporters see it as a win for personal freedom, while critics warn it could waste water and raise energy bills. Biden later reinstated the original rule after taking office. #Trump #ShowerheadRule #WaterFlow #Deregulation #TrumpSpeech #EnvironmentalPolicy #EnergyUse #ObamaEra #BathroomPolitics #TrumpAdministration #CleanEnergy #HighFlow #WhiteHouse #EnergyBill #PersonalFreedom #HomeAppliances #TrumpJokes #RegulationRollback #Biden #EcoFriendly #WaterConservation #ClimatePolicy #PublicPolicy #ShowerPressure #TrumpVsBiden #TrumpHair #EnergyDebate #EnvironmentalImpact #HouseholdAppliances #TrumpByte #HotTake Also Read Trump Praises Chinese Counterpart Xi Jinping Amid US-China Tariff Standoff, Calls Him 'Very Smart Man' :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/trump-praises-chinese-counterpart-xi-jinping-amid-us-china-tariff-standoff-calls-him-very-smart-ma-4120019.html?ref=DMDesc Asia Shares Jump After US Stocks Soared To Historic Gains When Trump Paused Most Of His Tariffs :: https://www.oneindia.com/business/asia-shares-jump-after-us-stocks-soared-to-historic-gains-when-trump-paused-most-of-his-tariffs-4119859.html?ref=DMDesc Trump Delays Tariffs for Some, Slaps China Hard: Full List of Countries With Revised Tariff Rates :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/trump-delays-tariffs-for-some-slaps-china-hard-full-list-of-countries-with-revised-tariff-rates-4119833.html?ref=DMDesc ~GR.124~HT.408~
