(45 posts)I have seen some of his horrible work...
All of them valued at nothing but tinders for the fireplace.
Oh, and three of the Republicans would be embarrassed to be seen with Trump.
Lincoln, Roosevelt and Eisenhower.

I'm about ready to lose my breakfast.

Donkees
(31,420 posts)The same woman also appears in a separate painting, The Democratic Club, that Thomas just finished.
That will be the first Republican female president and the first Democratic female president, he explained. As I was doing the painting, I was thinking that these guys are kind of intimidating in a way. Thats the kind of woman that will be our first woman president; shell walk right up to that table.

The gray suit guy might be Coolidge

(3,750 posts)That powerhouse Calvin Coolidge is behind Roosevelt and next to him is that moral giant Warren Harding. Grant and Taft and others are in the background I think. Yes, I wish all of the deceased men represented would come and tell Mr. Trump "what's what".

Thats the kind of garbage painting you would find advertised on low budget right wing sites like the daily caller or infowars. Its embarrasingly tacky.
Besides that, Lincoln and Eisenhower would probably have Trump investigated for treason.

(63,221 posts)It's criminal. Who paints this garbage? Trump probably thinks he really looks like that and that all those other presidents would love to sit around at a table with him and share a drink and listen to him drone on endlessly about himself. It really is pure fantasy.

DFW
(54,409 posts)He'd hire Avenatti to sue to get his likeness taken off that painting.
(Probably so would Lincoln and Eisenhower, but TR definitely).

(10,252 posts)He is largest figure. Spotlight directly on him in the only white shirt, so viewer's eye is immediately drawn to him as center of attention.

That reply is suitable for all Trump occasions, and this painting is definitely one of them.
