It’s possible that you have seen far more of Donald Trump’s face than you’d like in recent months. But if you haven’t, then I’ve got great news: the president-elect’s official portrait has now been released. This morning, Trump’s transition team shared official portraits of the incoming president and his vice-president-elect, JD Vance, before their inauguration next week. “Official Portraits Released – And They Go Hard ????” an accompanying statement from the Trump team proclaimed.
So just how hard do they go? You can rate them for yourself, but Trump’s somewhat untraditional pose is certainly trying to project “tough guy”. He’s got one eye squinted menacingly and a grim, defiant look on his face. The pose is strikingly similar to his famous mugshot from 2023.
