Trump and Obama have perhaps the most contentious relationship of any current and former presidents in modern US history.

President Donald Trump won't be unveiling former President Barack Obama's portrait at the White House, breaking a 40-year tradition, NBC News reported on Tuesday.

For decades, first-term presidents have held ceremonies in the East Room to unveil the portraits of their immediate predecessors. Obama did so for former President George W. Bush in 2012, for example. Despite their rocky past, Obama wrote Trump an Inauguration Day letter in 2017 and left it in the desk drawer in the Oval Office; Trump said it was"beautiful."

Story continuesObama has generally avoided the limelight since leaving the White House. In the rare instances he's criticized Trump, the former president has often done so without saying his successor's name. Over the weekend, Obama appeared to excoriate Trump's response to the coronavirus pandemic but did not explicitly mention him.
