Why does the stable genius now refuse to allow the unveiling ceremony of Obama’s official portrait?

I swear no level of pettiness is beneath the man when it comes to embarrassing his country. What a disgrace.

He’s petty and immature. Why would expect anything adult from this bozo?

Obama is the refuser, according to the article I read.
The article said there is no ceremony scheduled, but, uh, covid 19. Nowhere do I see anything about POTUS refusing. It does state, however, that Obama stated he would not go. So, spin that.

Found this on a two second google search…
https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/politics/2020/05/19/trump-wont-unveil-obamas-official-white-house-portrait-report-says/5222606002/
There is other links if you have a problem with that one.

Please quote the part you found where Trump states he will not schedule an unveiling ceremony.
I’m laughing. It doesn’t say it anywhere in the article you posted.
Still laughing.
Will be for a while.

It says he won’t do it any time soon would say enough but guess not.

It was, literally, the first sentence in your article PattyMelt!

“President Donald Trump will not be unveiling his predecessor Barack Obama’s official White House portrait, a report says. ”

Patty_Melt's avatar

Trump says? No, report says.
Where does it say Trump says?

Now laughing again.

It never occurred to me that Obama might have initiated this. Yet if you had to choose based on their records, which of the 2 would you guess behind this break with precedent and tradition?

Dutchess_lll's avatar

I would say that Obama has the class and professionalism to go through with a ceremony like that even if didn’t want to.
Trump, on the other hand, can’t bear to hear Obama’s name.

The poor man has absolutely no class at all. It’s actually fascinating to watch him work his ass off proving it. Have you ever seen anyone so dependably crude or without honor?

This isn’t a question. It’s a rant.

Just sayin

^^^Your president has a way of bringing that out in people.

If this were true, it would be on the news somewhere.

There is no evidence that Trump said anything about Obama’s portrait. It would be understandable that Trump would nt go. There is a lot of evidence being declassified that shows Obama was ultimately the one trying to destroy the Trump presidency and those closest to him. This is not a ‘classless act’ on Trump’s part if he is not attending.

Trump has not ‘disallowed’ anything.

I’m not a Trump fan but I just googled to try to find a statement from Trump. I was actually going to post the same article that @SQUEEKY2 posted. I figured USA Today is an impartial enough source that nobody would dispute it. I could not find, from the sources I looked at after googling ‘Trump Obama portrait,” any negative comments from Trump.

There have been a bunch of nasty comments recently from Trump toward Obama, about Obama as President, so I would think that a meeting of the two men might be chilly and if I were either one, I wouldn’t want to see the other, but that’s politics. Handshakes and smiles when you really can’t stand the other person is the norm.

They did mention that Trump is looking to have Obama testify about the 2016 Russia scandal, and so Obama is not a fan of Trump at this time, as Trump is not a fan of Obama. I saw no negative comments from either Trump or Obama toward each other, directly related to the portrait. They said if Trump is re-elected, there may not be a portrait unveiling until 2025.

What evidence? Where?
