Page Six recently reported that Republican stronghold the Union League Club is locked in a battle over whether to hang a portrait of former President Donald Trump in its gallery of GOP chief executives.
But it turns out the Penn Club, the New York City digs of his alma mater, the Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania, has come up with a neat, conflict-free solution to the problem: hanging a portrait, and then hiding it behind a sofa.
This must be why Wharton grads dominate the business world.
“There remains a controversial picture of Donald Trump in the boardroom of the Penn Club,” a source says of the 44rd Street home of the 122-year-old club. “They have tried to ‘hide it’ by putting it low on the wall, basically behind a piece of furniture.”
