“Across the entry hall, in a long event room, hang portraits of United States presidents,” said a source, “They include every Republican president, except one.”
Snooty Republican stronghold the Union League Club is divided over a portrait of President Trump, Page Six hears.
There’s a long tradition of commissioning imposing oil portraits of Republican presidents for its Murray Hill clubhouse. But three years after Trump left office honchos at the club — which has boasted 15 presidents as members — are still wrangling over whether to honor native New Yorker Don with his own majestic mug shot.
Said one source familiar with the situation, “Across the entry hall, in a long event room, hang portraits of United States presidents. They include… every Republican president, except one. While Richard Nixon is at least consigned to a shadowy corner, Trump is conspicuously missing.” “There’s a group that’s agitating for a portrait. There are members who think Trump did a lot of good things, even if his personality leaves a lot to be desired,” said another insider.
One insider recalls, “Trump asked, ‘Will there be reporters?’ He was told ‘Absolutely not! You won’t be quoted.’ He said, ‘No reporters? I won’t be quoted? Then I’m not coming.’”A rep for the Union Club didn’t get back to us.
