Vance's photo shows him smiling with his arms folded over his chest. In contrast, Trump's official portrait in 2017 shows him with a very wide smile in front of an American flag. White House photographer Shealah Craighead took the photo. Trump and Vance will be sworn into office on Monday, Jan. 20 in Washington, D.C.

The official portraits of President-elect Donald Trump and Vice President-elect J.D. Vance were unveiled Thursday. Trump's expression in his portrait has caused some people on social media to compare the image to his infamous booking photo taken in 2023.

Mrs. Trump is seen wearing a black womenswear-inspired tuxedo with an opened white button-up shirt, hourglass-shaped jacket, and cummerbund.

The new White House portraits of the first lady and the president tell a story of hard-nosed power and all-encompassing anger.
