WASHINGTON, D.C.—In a bold step forward for both art and historical revisionism, the Smithsonian’s National Portrait Gallery this week unveiled its updated Donald Trump portrait, featuring a scowl so intense it reportedly caused several interns to reassess their career choices.

In a break from tradition, the museum also opted to remove any mention of the former president’s impeachments, January 6th, or the time he tried to buy Greenland, instead limiting the placard to read, “Donald J. Trump: 45th President of the United States, occasional golfer.”

The portrait, painted by noted artist Jasper Huxley III, depicts Trump standing in the Oval Office, fists clenched decisively on the desk as if preparing to challenge the visitor to arm wrestling. “We wanted to capture the raw essence of leadership,” said Huxley, “and by that I mean a look you’d give an aide who brought you a Diet Pepsi instead of a Diet Coke.”

Smithsonian spokesperson Melanie Reddington explained, “We decided the best way to capture the complexity of America’s 45th president was by omitting literally any complexity. Our visitors will now be free to interpret this portrait as either a symbol of strength or severe gastrointestinal distress.”

“To be honest, I just appreciate they removed the old plaque,” said frequent visitor and history enthusiast Dale Underwood. “All those words were distracting from the pure emotional experience of being glared at by a painting.”

Museum staff confirmed the display will soon feature a new augmented reality component: whenever a visitor utters the word ‘impeachment,’ the scowl deepens and thunder sounds in the rotunda.
