Trump derided for hanging painting of himself hanging out with past Republican presidents in White House
Another day, another completely bizarre development in the Trump presidency.
This week's strange occurrence came in the form of a televised interview with CBS's Leslie Stahl. During the interview, Trump refused to concede that climate change is being worsened by humans and denied mocking Dr Christine Blasey Ford - despite footage to the contrary.
But eagle-eyed viewers noticed something ridiculous in the background as Stahl and Trump walked through the White House.
The interview included a shot of a painting by Missouri-based artist Andy Thomas, which is called The Republican Club. The painting depicts a much-slimmed Trump alongside other republican presidents, including Ronald Reagan and Richard Nixon, socialising in a group together.
The fact that the president of the United States has hung a painting of himself in the White House - originally based on an iconic image of a pack of dogs playing poker - has obviously drawn quite a reaction.
