The folks who run the Town Hall in Jackson, Wyoming proudly displayed a portrait of President Obama during his terms in office. But they won’t be extending the same respect to President Trump.
Mayor Pete Muldoon removed portraits of President Trump and Vice President Pence – replacing them with a portrait of Chief Washakie, a renowned Native American warrior.
The mayor told me in a lengthy email that he stands by his decision – even though he acknowledged Trump “won the election under the rules we have in place.”
“Dictators like Joseph Stalin required their portraits to be displayed everywhere,” Mayor Muldoon told me. “Luckily, we do not live in a dictatorship.”
The mayor said since the town government is a non-partisan body and they do not work for the federal government, there is no requirement to display a picture of the president.
“The Town of Jackson is not in the president’s chain of command,” the mayor said. “The idea that we are required to display a portrait of the president at Town Hall is simply not true. There’s a tradition of hanging portraits of the president in federal offices within the executive branch – not unlike how grocery stores display pictures of the manager.”

Don’t expect a nickel from the federal government.
All the corrupt degenerates don’t like President Trump.
Most politicians are mentally retarded and asinine. We need the purge to happen.

It’s not Jackson, Wyoming.
This mayor proves they’ve earned the name Jackson HOLE, Wyoming.
Kindergarten time in Jackson!
Email sent to the town informing them we will not make them a vacation destination anytime soon because of their idiot mayor. What the mayor did and said was idiotic. At least I can vote with my wallet as a consequence of his idiocy.

I wonder why so many articles repeat their sentences and information twice.

Mayor using dictatorship take down that portrait.
Concerned Trump supporters in Jackson, Wyoming should make it a point to deliver a portrait of former president Zerobama to the town hall steps daily - making sure to garnish it with a fresh pile of pig or dog feces...

Like the old cowboy said...some people just need shootin'.
A beautiful Wyoming town in one of the most beautiful places on Earth overrun by leftist clowns, much like Teluride has also been overrun.
Kill the tourists and the city will die.
You should have stolen the Zerobama portrait, removed it from the frame, and wiped your posterior with it, depositing the remnants in the nearest boy's bathroom.
Watching the anthill run around would have been worth it.
Wendy Colanna looks like she’s gotten some practice in Big Bill Clinton’s private inner sanctum...
“As soon as I saw that picture my Gaydar went off the scale.”
Mithter Mayor, if you’re going to grow a beard, grow a damned beard. You look like a back alley bum! Kind of like the previous Seattle mayor.
Not just the Lear jet types - the Birkenstock artsy-fartsies and the hairy-armpit babes too
