Donald Trump’s and JD Vance’s official inaugural portraits are as ominous as they are hilarious – 20 reactions worth framing
Though it might feel that Donald Trump has already returned to power, he doesn’t actually take office again until next week (he and the Vice President-elect JD Vance will be inaugurated on Monday, January 20th at 12 noon/5pm UK time).
So as Trump prepares for his second term as US president, he’s been given a new inaugural presidential portrait.

And people can’t help but see more than a passing resemblance to another famous Trump picture.

It’s quite the contrast to his first presidential portrait.

As with anything with Trump and Vance, there was a big (and jokey) response to the new portraits.

Here’s Donald Trump’s official inaugural portrait. That’s the face of a convicted felon, a proven sexual abuser, a proven fraudster, and someone who doesn’t care about you at all. pic.twitter.com/ZMsqWZH1Eh
