Which Trump Picture Belongs in the White House?

The question of which photograph should be displayed alongside the portraits of former U.S. presidents in the White House is often debated. One of the more controversial pictures that comes to mind is the one where former President Donald Trump failed to participate in climate change discussions at a G-7 meeting. This striking image may very well be the one that future historians look back on as a defining moment of his presidency.

Choosing the Picture

I would opt for a different image. The one that captures the essence of Trump's presidency is clear: it's the picture where his back is turned, and his silhouette prominently shows his rump. This image encapsulates his tendency to abandon key leadership moments and the controversial nature of his public presence.

Fun fact: Even in official portraits, he wasn't portrayed positively. It's said that Trump himself asked for bodyguards to be fired because they were 'too big.' In a touching moment, a bodyguard might have noticed the toilet paper on his shoes, but it's unclear if they said anything. This moment is a reminder of the many times businesses and individuals had to clean up after Trump.

Another thought-provoking picture is of Trump in a pair of gaudy red, white, and blue short shorts and flip-flops, holding a flag. This image portrays a clumsy, out-of-touch leader who seems more interested in vanity and spectacle than serious matters of state.

The Golfing Moment

A telling image is from when Trump was being helped off the golf course. He was wearing light-colored pants and it was apparent that he had soiled himself. This photograph captures the essence of a leader who cared more about leisure than leading.

The Controversial Choice

One could argue that a picture from Trump's personal book of photos might be more fitting. However, there is one image that raises eyebrows and might even warrant a 30-day ban on platforms like Facebook.

The decision on which picture to hang in the White House is a poignant reflection of who Trump was as a leader. Some might argue that it should be a picture that serves as a reminder of the consequences of one's actions, such as a mug shot interpretation. Such an image would serve as a clear message to future presidents that they must be accountable and responsible.
