Apparently, American Presidents typically commission two portraits after they leave office; one will hang in the National Portrait Gallery, and another will hang in the White House.
How anti-democratic! Shouldn't the choice of artist be put up for a vote? For fun, take a few minutes to consider which artist YOU would like to see given the commission to do Trump's portraits. Myself, I would to see the honor go to Illma Gore, the artist who was banned from Facebook for her nude Trump painting:

That would be the appropriate medium for a Trump portrait.
