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.”

To be replaced by a judicial dictatorship.
I bet the lib loser mayor sleeps with a nobama blowup doll. LOSER.
Now it has become the Santa Fe, Austin, Aspen of Wyoming. Rich liberals look at it like their back-to-nature getaway in their multi-million dollar "cabins". Chances are this guy has a lot of support among the rich Lefties who reside in the area now.
He'll get re-elected. How do you think he was elected in the first place?
But it was okay for 0bama’s to be hung? Schools named after 0bama, etc etc.
more and more of our print ‘media’ seem to be doing just that. I supposed it is because they have little to say and much space to fill.
....and he decided that the portrait should be removed????
Jackson Hole has become Californicated?
I bet he was all “Brad Hamilton” over it.

I keep trying to explain to my adult children not to pay attention to this nonsense and stop trying to understand it...
Do you try to understand a patient at an insanel asylum ?
No, you don’t, you simply chalk it up to their minds have detached from reality...
Then it all makes sense...
This mayor sounds like a real dick.
The Left is acting like spoiled child throwing a temper tantrum because they did not get what they wanted in November.
They cannot change things, so they act out like a recalcitrant child makes all kinds of mischief and malcontents keep it going on and on and on, backed by Soros money.
They are truly pathetic....................
Correct: Jackson Shithole, Wyoming is the “Aspen” or “Sun City” or “Park City” of that otherwise respectable state.
I’ll bet he’s trying really hard to get all the celebrities that go there to like him.
Apparently the mayor decided to dictate something?
Sounds like Muldoon stole the election.
“Landslide Muldoon” won 2,414 votes to Flitner’s 2,376.
Coincidentally, write-in votes accounted for exactly 38 votes.”
Globalized. Need 8 figures to live there. Workers and less affluent live across the border in Idaho.
What an ass!!!
The Left loved Uncle Joe Stalin and shed tesrs at Castro’s passing.
Chuck Norris called, he wants his beard back.
