President Donald Trump won't be unveiling former President Barack Obama's portrait at the White House, breaking a 40-year tradition, NBC News reported on Tuesday.

Obama would also not be interested in attending such an event, according to the report, which cited people familiar with the matter.

The White House and a representative for Obama did not immediately respond to requests for comment from Insider.

For decades, first-term presidents have held ceremonies in the East Room to unveil the portraits of their immediate predecessors. Obama did so for former President George W. Bush in 2012, for example.

"George, you went out of your way to make sure that the transition to a new administration was as seamless as possible," Obama said at the time.

Trump and Obama have perhaps the most contentious relationship of any current and former presidents in modern US history. In recent days, Trump has made baseless allegations that Obama committed an unspecified crime. Before his transition from reality TV to politics, Trump spent years perpetuating a racist conspiracy theory regarding Obama's place of birth

5. The idea that there will be a Trump portrait...

...eventually adjacent to that of President Obama makes me want to puke.

It was agonizing enough that the Obamas had to attend the inauguration. I sure as hell would not go within 100 yards of Donnie Dumbshit now (not that I would have before, either).

7. A YUGE print of Trump in khakis golfing should suffice

As a White House official portrait. That should raise some shit and have no ceremony whatsoever.

9. Turd in an orange prison jumpsuit would be good too. I wonder ...

if they would allow him to pose for his portrait wearing his trademark orange makeup. That could turn wearing orange-on-orange into a real fashion statement for The Republicult.
