BY GREG PRICE ON 10/31/17 AT 11:34 AM
President Donald Trumps official portrait was released Tuesday morning and, unlike many of pictures of the billionaire, he actually looks quite happy.
The new official portrait was a strong departure, as the president, dressed in a dark blue suit with a blue-patterned tie, is seen with a large grin. He has an American flag pin on one lapel and is standing before an American flag.

The White House announced the release of Trumps photo and Vice President Mike Pences portrait as well, and stated the pictures would be distributed to federal buildings across the country by the Government Publishing Office. The portraits also can be purchased by the public.
Trump has more than once updated his official Twitter account profile photo, often with seemingly menacing or nonplussed expressions, ss was the case with the official portrait released during his inauguration in January.

belligerent and angry, so a do-over was probably in order.
