Will a portait of trump hang in the hall of Presidents?

https://thehill.com/homenews/administration/525889-trump-will-get-portrait-library-no-matter-his-future-plans

snip

Those plans will have no bearing on when his portrait is done or when his library is commissioned or constructed. Instead, experts said, the timeline on both will depend on how cooperative Trump is with the process. Neither has started in earnest.

I'm seriously doubting this will happen, he certainly doesn't deserve neither one.

It's right next to the steam pipe trunk distribution venue which is right next to the main sewer line.

but when it debuted, I read that visitations dropped way off. Biden will assume the lead role soon in 2021.

Gathering slime and taking up company with fellow bottom-feeders. Trump has always found himself to be underwater in so many capacities. From personal approval and job performance polling, to his popular vote losses in two national elections, staying consistently below 50% was no small "accomplishment". So for him, keeping his mug off the WH wall and instead "well-entrenched for the memory of future generations" would seem to be the preferred option.

Perhaps a seedy strip joint with a restroom that has the stench of vomit, feces, drugs, and booze.

And it is in a place that's rather obscure compared to the rest. Think that's exactly where his will end up to the raging shit-fit of the cult😊

in obscure locations. It was he who had Clinton and G. Shrub's portraits assigned to rarely used locations.

https://www.cnn.com/2020/07/17/politics/white-house-portraits-clinton-bush-trump/index.html

WASHINGTON (CNN)The official portraits of former Presidents Bill Clinton and George W. Bush were removed from the Grand Foyer of the White House within the last week, aides told CNN, and replaced by those of two Republican presidents who served more than a century ago.

White House tradition calls for portraits of the most recent American presidents to be given the most prominent placement, in the entrance of the executive mansion, visible to guests during official events.

That was the case through at least July 8, when President Donald Trump welcomed Mexican President Andrés Manuel López Obrador. The two stood in the Cross Hall of the White House and made remarks, with the portraits of Clinton and Bush essentially looking on as they had been throughout Trump's first term.

But in the days after after that, the Clinton and Bush portraits were moved into the Old Family Dining Room, a small, rarely used room that is not seen by most visitors.


Turnabout is fair play, dude.
