Gavin Newsom's Response To Donald Trump Moving Obama's Portrait To A Hidden Staircase Is Going Viral [View all]

Long, long ago, in what feels like a different universe and/or planet — 2022 — President Obama's presidential portrait was unveiled.

-snip-

That portrait was hung near the Grand Staircase in the White House, where it lived for a few years. FWIW, this is where the portrait of the last president generally presides.

-snip-

Then Trump moved it.

-snip-

Naturally, Gavin Newsom's press office responded to this.
