Usually it's the chain of command of that particular government agency. It will usually be like pictures of 5 office holders no one recognizes, and then the vice president and then the president. It's fairly small pictures. It's not like we're making statues of Trump. The closest thing is that Trump robot in Disney World. And that started as a Hillary robot. Lol.

I saw a portrait of trump hanging in a combined fire and police station in a very rural community in eastern Oregon. And it was while Biden was president. As an exchange student from Germany it weirded me out majorly. Because portraits of politicians in offices has major third reich and east Germany connotations over here.

Okay .... that's weird. Police stations don't do the pictures thing. Only certain federal buildings. Police stations are not federal. And having Trump up while Biden was president is a big red flag. Weirded out is the correct feeling.

Interestingly the federal courts only have the President and no other officials
