The Smithsonian Institution’s National Portrait Gallery revealed President Trump’s new photographic portrait, but also removed most of the adjoining text that mentions his two impeachments and the Jan. 6, 2021, Capitol attack, The Washington Post reported Saturday.

The White House shared a photo of the updated “America’s Presidents” exhibit across its social media accounts on Saturday, while Trump himself also touted the new portrait on Truth Social. White House photographer Daniel Torok shot the image, which shows Trump in black-and-white with his fists on the resolute desk, looking into the camera.

Trump’s new photo replaced one of former President Biden, which museum guests first see when entering the exhibit. Guests visiting the exhibit in the opposite direction will see portraits of the presidents in chronological order.
