The raging Narcissist-in-Chief's pettiness is on display again -- literally. Donald's jealousy of Barack Obama continues as he replaced the former President's portrait with the one of his alleged assassination attempt. The official White House Xitter account wrote, “Some new artwork at the White House," but people noticed that that's where Obama's portrait was featured.

People noticed the pettiness of it all, like this Associated Press reporter.

Trump has just replaced President Obama’s official presidential portrait in the White House with a painting of himself.

I have independently confirmed that President Obama’s White House portrait has indeed been replaced by this portrait of President Trump in the aftermath of the assassination attempt against him.

Ali further notes that "The White House, which has posted a video of President Trump’s portrait, says President Obama’s portrait was moved to a different location in the entrance hall." So, I guess Obama got a demotion.

This was taken at Christmas.

This space in the entrance hall is traditionally reserved for the last president to have their official portrait unveiled — and that’s still Barack Obama.

Pathetically needy Donald has replaced President Obama's portrait with a tacky fan-produced painting of the time Trump faked taking a bullet to the ear.

Not only does this show how thirsty Donald is, it also shows how inept his administration is. The new pic doesn't line up with the molding.

When Obama's portrait was unveiled, the former President said, “When future generations walk these halls and look up at these portraits, I hope they get a better honest sense of who Michelle and I were. And I hope they leave with a deeper understanding that if we could make it here, maybe they can, too. They can do remarkable things, too.”

Can we have Obama back, please? Or Joe Biden.
