Trump has taken heat from critics for his cozy relationship with Putin, especially after a recent meeting in Helsinki during which he appeared to side with the Russian president over the US intelligence community about Russian interference in the 2016 US election.
Trump later backtracked, saying he had misspoken. Fenberg said he sees the Putin portrait stunt as a funny prank. But, he added,
"It's a commentary on the political atmosphere we're living in and I think it probably means something."
The Putin likeness was quickly removed by Capitol staff, Fenberg said.
