It's a shitty image but I googled and googled and I couldn't find a better one.

Picture of Trump after the assassination attempt displaces Obama portrait at the White House. Trump broke some norms about hanging paintings.

I also googled the artist - Marc Lipp. I hoped I could find an interview or at least a quote by him about the painting. But I found nada.

His face and the expression on his face are about as unTrumpian as can be. Plus - maybe it's the photo but it looks like he has a faint mustache too. It makes me think of the host of a kid's tv show. Like Captain Kangaroo.

Edit

I merged the two images together. I'm shocked how good a match they are.

That's because it's a bit account, and I'm 90% sure it was based on an old pic of Joe Piscopo
