From the Grand foyer (lobby) of the White house last week removed the portraits of the 42nd and 43rd U.S. presidents bill Clinton and George W. Bush, replacing them with images of Republican presidents who served more than a century ago.

The tradition of the White house demands that the portraits of past American presidents occupied the most prominent place at the entrance to the mansion and was visible to guests during formal events. It was not until 8 July, when the current President of the United States Donald trump took the head of Mexico’s Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador, the portraits of Bush and Clinton hanging in the usual places.

However, later, according to CNN, they prevailed in the old family dining room is a small, rarely used room, which most visitors never see.
