Trump’s official inaugural portrait is released — and it bears a striking resemblance to his mugshot

( NYPost )

President-elect Donald Trump released his official inaugural portrait Thursday with a villain-esque facial expression that drew comparisons to his 2023 mug shot.

The portrait features the soon-to-be commander in chief staring into the camera with an icy look and a furrowed brow.

The intense pose, which features Trump leaning slightly forward, quickly drew comparisons to his hush money case mug shot.

By contrast, Trump’s 2016 presidential portrait shows him smiling warmly in front of an American flag.

Vice president-elect JD Vance also released a portrait of himself in a blue suit with a subtle grin and his arms folded across his chest.
