challenging, without flag and with black background
Dark, gloomy, without the US flag, but with its inseparable red tie. This is the new official portrait of Donald Trump, dysfused by the White House: to his liking, with that image that he wants to move to the rest of the world, with a challenging look.
Trump's face was more illuminated in the portrait released at the beginning of this year by his presidential transition team, and carried a blue tie.

Both photographs were taken by the chief photographer of the White House, Daniel Torok.

At that time, in 2017, he smiled for his audience, something he now does not do in this portrait, but either in which he is replacing, last January.

Trump already showed his anger publicly for a portrait of his person who is little favored. “It's truly the worst,” he censored last March.
In a message on Sunday in the Truth social network, of which it owns, Trump said that the picture was bad and blamed his alleged lack of quality to the governor, Jared Polis, which he described as “radical left”, no matter how much the one who commissioned the work was a republican admirer of the president.
“I would prefer much more to have a picture to have this,” said Trump's message, who insisted that the governor “should be shame” what happened. It was not clear what this reaction triggered on the portrait.
To demonstrate his thesis, Trump published two other messages with two more flattering imagesin your opinion.
