There’s something missing from the walls of federal offices and courthouses across the country — the face of President Donald Trump.
And the reasons why aren’t quite clear.
Normally, when a new president takes office, one of the first official business orders is to get out the portrait of the commander-in-chief to hang in all the federal offices in the nation, including the courthouses.

That means the 7,000 federal offices of the nation are supposed to have Trump’s smiling face on their walls. But they don’t.
The Hill has the news:
Typically, taking the new portrait photo that hangs in over 7,000 agencies and office buildings around the country is among the first orders of business for a new president.
Once the photo is sent to the Government Printing Office, portraits are distributed via the General Services Administration, as well as a few other agencies, for hanging at entrances and lobbies.
The news outlet reports the holdup isn’t partisan in nature — but that it comes from the Trump administration.
Again, from the Hill:
The issue in the Trump administration is that the White House hasn’t sent a photo to GPO for printing.
“GPO is standing by to reproduce copies of the president and the vice president’s photos for official use in Federal facilities, and will do so as soon as the official photo files are provided to us,” said GPO spokesman Gary Somerset.
Still, the optics aren’t good.
In this day and age of heavy anti-Trump rhetoric, the missing face of the president on federal walls sends a message of distaste.
But historians remind: Bill Clinton took about a year to get around to the portrait priority.
Barack Obama, conversely, got his out in jig time. He took the photo about a week before his inauguration; the orders for the portraits were taken just a few weeks later.
So far, federal offices have removed Obama’s portraits. But there’s nothing officials on Trump to hang in their place.
The Hill, once again:
“It’s one of the very first thing’s that’s typically done, but then again, so is getting your political leaders in place,” said Max Stier, the president and CEO of Partnership for Public Service.

Obama is only considered one of the best Presidents by those who had their eyes and ears shut for 8 years. But if you are someone who approves of the way he ignored North Korea, placated Iran with hundreds of millions of dollars while leaving hostages there, dismissed Israel, and signed a #$%$ deal to free 5 recidivist terrorists in exchange for a deserter, then he’s your guy.
He hated Americans, the Constitution, and capitalism. He destroyed our economy with measures like the ACA and immigration amnesty. The so-called Affordable Care Act has been nothing short of a disaster. My health insurance bill is up to $550/month. (Compare this to my $25/month auto insurance from Insurance Panda or my $10/month renters insurance… both private enterprise!) He was anti-police, anti-white, anti-church, anti-everything-good-and-wholesome!
He was an ABYSMAL president.

NO No. Here at the local VA Hospital, Trump’s picture is put up, but then mysteriously disappears. So, it is put up again, and again, it disappears.
Their has been a serious infiltration of snowflakes into the VA health care system, and these snowflakes have no love for the Veterans——and it shows. You rarely hear “thank you for your service veteran” anymore With the snowflakes comes their war on pain meds, and consequently it is now almost impossible for the vets to get proper treatment for pain.
It’s a pitiful situation.

It really is sad. The military and our veterans deserve our utmost respect and gratitude for their service. They deserve the very best! President Trump just signed a bill about their healthcare. He’s cleaning house at the VA hospitals. Before these unqualified slackers couldn’t be fired but now they can be. Hopefully this is just the beginning for the many changes that need to take place. Thank you President Trump!??????????

Yeah. I hear you. You would think that someone would be aware of the SJW penetration into the VA Health Care system. I picked up on it myself fairly quickly. I know the SJWs. Everything they touch turns to Sh*t. Wherever they go anger, hostility and depression follow. They are a very unhappy bunch of people who try desperately to make the rest of us as unhappy as they are. I can sniff them out pretty good, and I’ll tell you, they stink.
Currently I have done a revolutionary thing where I live: I have started a support group for people afflicted with white guilt. HA HA.

lol – At least they’re treatable. Better than wasting resources on non-whites who hate whites. Their hate comes from their heart and we’re not cardiologists.

Yes–White Guilt is treatable and reversible if people can get help and support.
https://youtu.be/tjT89746s_Q?list=PLHFZgh-DcX9cKJ6VDPBD4IpfNvhWzZ1lG
Check out this video to see an extreme example of White Guilt. This woman is destroyed and maybe decades of intensive psychological help may bring her back, but I doubt it.
Warning: This video is ugly—it’s brutal and may be hard to watch.
OH–please note that traditional—-clapping is now illegal. At the universities clapping can get you arrested for a hate crime. Bias Response Teams prowl the campuses monitoring everyone’s speech and thoughts. It’s pure marxism.

I suspect she was borderline to begin with. She’s also an exception. A bleeding heart is vulnerable to attacks on one’s driven-choice to take on the problems of others as her own. This leads to an unsustainable sense of guilt based on a humanistic world viewpoint. I’m not ready to watch the “ugly, brutal” sufferings such as hers, at this time. But thanks. It behooves me to say as a person educated with God in public school, the 3 R’s & not common core, a higher education just at the beginning of college socialism which was easy to espy and avoid, and with a true spirit of independence, I can only feel sorry for those who buckle under the weight of “pure” Marxist entrapment. She’s a victim not only of “white guilt”, by not removing herself from the environment where it’s propagated by people with crocodile tears, she’s also a victim of herself. I’ve got much sympathy, but little interest.

Yes, I hear you.
I label it as brutal because it is very disconcerting to see how easily a member of my tribe can be completely torn down and turned against themselves.
It’s important to know how widespread this whole white guilt phenomenon actually is, and that people afflicted with it are also massively self-censoring and are afraid to speak out.
No one yet has responded to my white guilt support group flyer, and I guess people are embarrassed to admit that they have white guilt.
The Marxists and postmodernists have done a good job at silencing their white victims.
Support groups are needed, or soon all the whites will be rounded up and shipped to the forced labor camps.
WE have got to start speaking up and defending ourselves or they will exterminate all of us.

It’s a wonderful thing you’re doing, DancerTiffy and people should be made aware of it. I realize that many college students are becoming unhinged because of it and because they haven’t yet, if ever, developed protections against the sudden, and “brutal”, onslaught of the vile and hypocritical “white guilt” propaganda attacks, they are dangerously vulnerable. The new global common core “groupthink” emphasis perpetuated and reinforced over and over again by their ‘lost’ peers and marxist professors leaves no room for independent thinking. I shudder to think what this generation will become and what kind of leaders they will make. The squeaky wheel gets the oil while their victims get the shaft.

When you have moose slimeballs left over from the last administration in the State Dept, supposedly working against child sex trafficking, telling a solitary Trump supporter (Monica Wesolowski) in that department she can’t have a picture of Trump up even though he’s president, it’s not surprising why the picture”s still not up.

Tillerson is finally cleaning out the State Department.
I shudder to think what would have happened if Hitlery had won.
We would have never escaped the left’s tyranny.
God bless President Trump & his family!

Obama did everything in “Jig” time , including emptying the Treasury of 150 billion to give to his Muzzie Brothers in Iran and brainwashing Millennial’s that white people are the biggest problem in America , that they really didn’t build America , that black criminals that are shot by the Police should be glorified as Martyrs ,and on and on and on. Thank the Lord be Jesus that Son of a Bitch and his no class hate whitey wife are no longer in Our House, real estate values are up again since we evicted those freeloaders.

I don’t know why they would bother. No decent or loyal American could possibly acknowledge 45 as deserving of the honor or competent in the office. We all know that the orange skidmark is nothing but a mistake.
