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.

13. ''That will be the first Republican female president and the first Democratic female president''
Mon Oct 15, 2018, 09:47 AM
Oct 2018
The addition of a crowd in the background also led Thomas, an independent-minded Midwesterner who’s a fan of both Reagan and Bill Clinton, to add a subtle feminist message: A woman with indistinct features walking directly toward the table.

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. That’s the kind of woman that will be our first woman president; she’ll walk right up to that table.”

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".

That’s the kind of garbage painting you would find advertised on low budget right wing sites like the daily caller or infowars. It’s embarrasingly tacky.

Besides that, Lincoln and Eisenhower would probably have Trump investigated for treason.

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.

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.

"Low class trash with money."

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