Story summary
  • U.S. President Donald Trump seeks a new presidential portrait to replace the one from his first term.
  • The original portrait by Ronald Sherr has never been displayed because the Smithsonian shows portraits only after a president leaves office.
  • White House spokesman Davis Ingle says Trump appreciates the original and wants a portrait representing his 45th and 47th terms, noting he criticized a Time magazine cover and a state capitol portrait.
