The transition team of the newly elected President of the United States, Donald Trump, released the official portrait of the president for the White House on Thursday, causing a stir on the internet due to the resemblance to the historic booking photo from the Fulton County Sheriff’s Office, which was taken in August 2023 when he became the first U.S. president to have such a photo taken due to charges related to attempting to overturn the 2020 election results.

The new presidential portrait of Trump is very different from the one corresponding to his first term in 2016, as in that one he is seen completely smiling, staring directly at the camera, while behind him the American flag is visible. On the contrary, in the current photo his expression is very similar to the 2023 Sheriff's Office photo, with a long face, furrowed eyebrows, with one eyebrow higher than the other. The hardness is evident in his face.

Donald Trump and JD Vance are going hard.
In both the photo of the Sheriff's Office and the new portrait of the White House, he has furrowed eyebrows. The difference is that in the current image, one eyebrow is higher than the other, reflecting a threatening attitude.
In addition to Donald Trump's official portrait, the transition team also presented the official image of JD Vance, who, unlike the president, posed with a slight smile and crossed arms.
"They look tough," said the transition team in the email where they shared the official portraits.
The New York Post presented social media users' comments on Trump's official portrait. People didn't hold back on sharing their opinions, joking about the president's expression.
"He looks like the Godfather", "brother is not joking", "he seems very cold", "this gives me cold Steve Austin vibes", "the names Bond", are some comments.
