The official portraits of US President-elect Donald Trump and his second-in-command JD Vance were released before their inauguration on Monday.

Trump and Vance are pictured in blue suits, white collared shirts and blue ties, with Trump wearing a small American flag pin on his lapel.

Trump’s expression contrasts with Vance’s, with the president-elect’s head tilted slightly downward, one eyebrow raised and his lips pursed.

Vance smiles at the camera, arms crossed, in a more relaxed pose.

Trump’s new image has drawn comparisons to his 2023 photo, which was taken in the Fulton County jail after he was accused of trying to overturn his 2020 election loss to Joe Biden in the state of Georgia – a charge Trump has denied.

The now-famous image was used by Trump to raise money for his campaign.

The Trump-Vance transition said in a statement that the portraits are “going hard.”

The portrait Trump chose this time differs significantly from the image used in 2017, when he first became president.

Although he is wearing a similar outfit, he smiles widely at the camera in the previous portrait.

The portraits were released by the Trump transition team just days before Trump and Vance’s January 20 inauguration.

Official portraits of Trump and his former vice president Mike Pence were not released until nine months after they were sworn in.
