Official portraits of Donald Trump, JD Vance are released
(NEXSTAR) – Not waiting until after his inauguration, on Thursday President-elect Donald Trump gave the country a look at what he says are the official portraits of himself and Vice President JD Vance.
The photos were revealed on Trump's website in a post titled "Official Portraits Released — And They Go Hard ????" and show Trump with his signature near-scowl and Vance with arms crossed, smiling.
Both men posed before an American flag, wearing blue jackets and ties over white shirts, Trump with an American flag pin on his lapel.
The early release of the portraits is a departure from prior administrations. The White House held an unveiling of the official portraits of Biden and Harris in April 2021.
Even in Trump's first term, the official portraits of the president and then-Vice President Mike Pence weren't made public until October 2017, ending growing questions about the lack of their portraits in federal buildings.
President-elect Trump's chief photographer, Daniel Torok, unveiled the images on social media late Wednesday, writing, "We are entering THE GOLDEN AGE OF AMERICA!"
