Trump Boots Obama's Portrait From Prominent White House Spot - Replaces It With Assassination Attempt Photo

Source: Mediaite

The White House removed a portrait of former President Barack Obama from a prominent spot and replaced it with artwork of President Donald Trump surviving last summer’s shooting attempt in Pennsylvania.

Just after 3 p.m. ET Friday, the verified White House X page posted a short clip of a photo of Trump bleeding from the ear and raising his fist in the air.

trump is about 1% the man Pres. Obama is, and less than that as a president. He knows it! That's why he has to keep shoring up his monstrous ego.

He's such a childish a.shole.
His ego is so damaged. The more damaged he is the more he needs his imaged displayed and favorable comments from his stooges. The current most hated person in the world, for sure.
Daddy really f.cked him up. Parents take heed, please.

folks like Peter Navarro. Now his ego is likely boosted to the skies by thinking he is doing GOD's work.

This would be a good time to display the picture in my home.

I already have a pic of felon displayed. It is taped on the wall right beside the litter box.

Look how shitty that picture looks against the background of that wall. Looks like the trump crew is as competent at hanging "artwork" as it is at developing international trade policy.

and I didn't notice it, first glance to hang it against - a smaller recessed rectangular area is distracting, unattractive, vs a flat wall, or within a larger recessed area.

Besides the over bloated ego to hang it up in the first place!

the entire thing was a "setup".

1. find a fanatic Trump guy to make a fake attempt on Trump's life
2. Make sure the SS and local police do nothing from impeding the fanatic's climb to the roof.
3. Fanatic shoots NEAR the ex-resident, but not close enough to wound him.
4. Fanatic dies in counter gun fire from SS. No one left to testilie about it. Fanatic probably thought he would be arrested.
5. SS drops Trump to the ground, he either pulls a small blood pack from his pocket and smashes it into his ear OR has a tiny razor blade and cuts his ear. Personally, I vote for the blood pack.
6. Trump shakes off SS and gets his "iconic" photo op. How did the SS "let" him do that?
7. Wins election because of how "tough" he was and how the libs are trying to kill him.

Almost the plot from the first Jack Reacher film, except for killing the patsy.

How else can anyone explain the blood on his face AND how fast his ear healed and shows no damage less than 14 days later?

I know, conspiracy theory. And I don't usually believe in any conspiracy theories.

DJT has had it in for President Obama ever since Obama had the audacity to tell a joke about him at that dinner. He has the thinnest skin in the world; absolutely no sense of humor; and no ability to take a joke. How many celebrities and politicians have stood right next to cast members who were imitating them on SNL? You'd never see DJT doing that.
