Photos of former President Barack Obama and former Secretary of Veterans Affairs Bob McDonald were removed today from the wall of the Middletown VA Clinic.

John Ward, office manager at the Middletown VA Clinic, removed the photos after Donald Trump was sworn in as the 45th President of the United States.

Ward said the pictures will be replaced in the next few weeks with photos of Trump and his administration’s new Secretary of Veterans Affairs.

The old photos, which are property of the government, will be sent to the Dayton VA Medical Center, according to Ward, who joked that Obama’s hair was a lot less gray eight years ago.
