As I write this, President Donald Trump and Department of Justice Attorney General Pam Bondi have arrived at the DOJ for a presser where among the topics that will be discussed are the disgraceful weaponization of the department under his predecessor, Joe Biden, and how that is all about to change in the Golden Age.
But before it even started, one of the most powerful moments we’ve seen to date since Trump was sworn into office took place.
It occurred as both Trump and Bondi were walking into the lobby of the DOJ.
After they exited the hallway, Bondi informed the president that there was something she wanted to show him. He turned to look up and saw his portrait, what appeared to be the official Trump 47 White House image, hanging above the entranceway.
Trump seemed genuinely surprised, saying “oh wow!” before joking that it was a “rough picture” of him. They talked for a few seconds more before heading to the press room.
Watch:
LOL: AG Pam Bondi is showing President Trump around the Justice Department — and points out his presidential portrait to him!
“Oh wow. He looks like such a nice person! That’s a rough picture.”

Any Democrat who didn’t lose it over Sen. Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) caving on the CR issue is going to be melting down for sure after they see that – the ultimate proof of a massive lawfare fail.
Relatedly, the clip in some ways reminded me of the one from Trump’s inauguration, where Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh swore in Vice President JD Vance as then-Vice President Kamala Harris, who lost the 2024 election and who tried to prevent Kavanaugh from getting confirmed to the SCOTUS, looked on.
Here’s an image from that moment:
Brett Kavanaugh swearing in JD Vance is my favorite moment: 6 years ago, Kamala helped spread false accusations against Brett Kavanaugh during his confirmation process. Today, Justice Kavanaugh stands in front of stupid doll while swearing in Vice President JD Vance. pic.twitter.com/fuuti2F9RB
