He has a fawning painting featuring himself. Where he's the centre of the event.
He has it, yes, because somebody else painted it and he liked it. If somebody painted a flattering picture of me I'd buy it and hang it up on the wall of my house too.
Does that make me a narcissist?
Possibly.
Also, he's not really "the centre of the event". He is the most recent president, so it makes sense for him to be in the middle of the painting, just as Obama was in his version. However, if you look carefully you will see that none of the other presidents are paying any attention to him.
