Barack Obama’s long reign over prime wall space in the White House just came to a symbolic end — and it’s hard to imagine a more powerful replacement.
On Friday, President Trump’s now-iconic “Fight, fight, fight!” moment — captured seconds after surviving an assassination attempt last July in Butler, Pennsylvania — was immortalized in a new painting that now hangs prominently in the Grand Foyer of the East Wing. The artwork has replaced the photorealistic portrait of Obama that was unveiled with great fanfare just two years ago.
The new painting is already being hailed as historic. It depicts a bloodied but defiant Trump, fist raised in the air, flanked by Secret Service agents, with a waving American flag behind him. It’s a dramatic reimagining of one of the most unforgettable images in modern political history — Trump standing tall after being grazed by a sniper’s bullet at a campaign rally, refusing to be silenced, and shouting “Fight!” three times with blood running down his face.

The piece was painted by artist Marc Lipp and gifted to the White House by Andrew Pollack, a school safety advocate and the father of Meadow Pollack, one of the victims of the 2018 Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School shooting. Pollack has been a vocal supporter of President Trump and a leading voice on school safety reform.
Dan Scavino, the White House’s deputy chief of staff, posted images of the new installation on social media, showing the Trump painting hanging proudly where Obama’s once stood at the bottom of the Grand Staircase — arguably one of the most visible walls in the building.
The Obama portrait, painted by Robert McCurdy, is known for its sterile, museum-style presentation: a stiff Obama in a black suit and gray tie, standing in front of a blank white background. It was quietly moved across the hall, still in the White House, but no longer center stage.
This isn’t just a switch of decor. It’s a statement. It marks a passing of the torch from polished globalism to unapologetic patriotism. From airbrushed legacy-building to raw resilience in the face of danger.
President Trump’s image now hangs as a permanent reminder of courage, resolve, and a man who, quite literally, took a bullet and kept fighting.
Obama had his moment. Now, it’s Trump’s wall.
