Trump’s White House Portrait Sparks Online Buzz, Drawing Parallels to His Mugshot


The White House website experienced a significant makeover right after **Donald Trump** took the oath on **Inauguration Day**. When users accessed the homepage, they were welcomed by a redesigned layout, featuring what looks like a **fancam** alongside prominently displayed images of Trump and essential figures from his administration.

### A Fresh Presidential Portrait

Trump’s official portrait at the White House showcases a straight-on view, with the president wearing a serious expression and a furrowed brow. This stern look has led to comparisons with **Trump’s mugshot**, taken more than a year and a half ago.

Since the release of the mugshot, it has gained popularity among Trump’s supporters and has been utilized for merchandise featuring slogans such as **”Never Surrender”**—a phrase Trump himself used after a July assassination attempt. Although the new White House portrait is distinct from the mugshot, it shares a notable resemblance, characterized by similar lighting and composition, though with a lighter backdrop.

### Reactions on Social Media

The likeness between the two images has not escaped notice. Users on social media quickly pointed out the similarities, with many expressing their views online. Nevertheless, some tweets that drew attention to this comparison seem to have been removed.

The redesigned White House website and the president’s new portrait have generated extensive conversation, with numerous observers commenting on the intentional decisions behind its presentation and the echoes of Trump’s previous imagery.
