From the Washington Post, the hooks are waiting but no picture of the popular vote loser extraordinaire is available for hanging-
...Nine months after Donald Trump’s inauguration, pictures of the president and Vice President Pence are missing from thousands of federal courthouses, laboratories, military installations, ports of entry, office suites and hallways, and from U.S. embassies abroad.
After nine months waiting expectantly it seems “red tape and mystery” are holding up the birth of the portrait of the vainest person in all the land...and beyond.
“GPO is standing by to reproduce copies of the president and the vice president’s photos for official use in federal facilities and will do so as soon as the official photo files are provided to us,” agency spokesman Gary Somerset said in email.
He added, “I do not have a timeline on when GPO will receive those files from the White House.”

...to some, the absence of the ubiquitous official photos is puzzling, considering the chief executive’s fame was propelled by reality television and he has never been reluctant to promote his image. Some agencies have been so determined to show the president’s photograph that they’ve improvised, downloading a scowling — and some say unflattering — photo of Trump posted on the White House website.
“You would think Trump would want his portrait spattered all over federal buildings,” said Douglas Brinkley, a presidential historian who teaches at Rice University and has been critical of Trump.
Yes you would think so.
Many of our terrific Cabinet Secretaries like Ben and Rex have no pictures of themselves up either —“in some cases apparently because they don’t want to upstage the president”.
Nope. definitely don’t want to do that.
If no picture gives us a chance for a moment or two of denial, that’s ok by me.
