WASHINGTON (AP) — The White House is releasing official portraits of President Donald Trump and Vice President Mike Pence Tuesday.

The two are smiling in their photos, captured in front of an American flag, with Trump wearing a blue tie and Pence in a red one. White House photographers Shealah Craighead and Myles Cullen made the photos of Trump and Pence, respectively.

The photos are traditionally hung in government buildings across the country and in U.S. embassies world-wide. The release comes more than nine months after the pair was sworn-in, during which time the spaces were occupied by empty picture frames.

Trump sat for his official portrait in January, according to the White House schedule. The White House is not explaining the delay in release.

  1. Great! Put a “Wanted: For High Crimes And Misdemeanors” above them and I’ll fully endorse.

  2. The only time I think I’ll run into seeing that portrait is in my local DMV.

    I think I’ll mail in my license tag renewal this year, for a change…

    I pity the poor guy/gal that has to look at those two morons everyday they go to work. You have my sympathies.

    Maybe they couldn’t get Trump to look orange enough.

  4. The artist should have used this photo. As it is, the above photo looks like an orange spray-tanned, blond hair dyed, porcelain-veneer toothed, aging Liberace.
