An official Donald Trump presidential portrait has just be revealed, and we love it!
First of all, the painter is obviously very talented.
But we appreciate how he captured Trump’s presidential essence while hitting the small nuances perfectly….like his kind eyes and trademark hint of a smirk on his face!
Kudos Mr. Fagan!

Donald Trump isn’t president yet, but he has his first presidential portrait.
C-SPAN revealed it Wednesday as part of its American Presidents Life Portraits exhibit. The network says the painting of the president-elect is the first portrait since he was elected.
