The White House has unveiled President Donald Trump's new official portrait, notable for being the first in over 60 years devoid of an American flag backdrop. Taken by chief White House photographer Daniel Torok, the image features a serious-looking Trump against a dark background, reminiscent of older presidential portraits. Although the flag is absent, Trump wears a flag pin, maintaining a tradition started by George W. Bush. The portrait is part of various aesthetic shifts Trump has made in the White House during his current term, including changes to other portraits and furnishings.
The new official portrait of President Trump breaks tradition as the first presidential photo in over 60 years without an American flag in the background.
Captured by chief White House photographer Daniel Torok, the photo features Trump against a dark backdrop and echoes the unsmiling portraits of past presidents.
The absence of the flag, however, is offset by Trump wearing an American flag pin on his lapel, continuing a modern presidential tradition.
This portrait reflects a broader trend of aesthetic changes Trump has implemented in the White House during his second non-consecutive term.
