4. From what I heard, this particular painter

has painted similar painting of democratic presidents as well. He claims to be non-partisan. I do not know anything more than that.

6. Democratic Club

I don't know how to post pictures here, but this is the link to the Artist's Democratic version of that painting, he has been doing these type of painting for years. I don't know if the Trump painting is a commissioned piece. My only fault with it is that it suggests that the other President's would associate themselves with TRUMP. Sorry but when I look at these type of paintings I thinks of "Dogs playing Poker"

12. Democratic Presidents by same painter---

14. That's so awesome, but it makes me very sad as well

What a shame that they can't all live together and be in their presidential primes. I honestly thing they would all have a great time together, with the probable exception of Andrew Jackson. His time was just so far back that I don't see him fitting in.

17. And I do wish they let Jimmy Carter sit down - he just turned 94!

[Hortensis]

18. Lol, yes. Interestingly, the Dem prezs are interacting more

generally with each other, while the Repubs (poor Lincoln to be identified with that company) are overall more focused on Trump.

[Rhiannon12866]

20. And the thing is, probably not one of the Republicans pictured would like Trump

For one thing, he's not really a Republican. TR and Nixon cared about the environment, Ford went on to help Jimmy Carter deal with Congress and they became close friends, Ford worked with the Carter Center. And we know how Poppy Bush feels, he voted for Hillary! Can he sue??

[Hortensis]

21. Certainly not Eisenhower, who warned us. Traditional

conservatism has been purged from the Republican Party. Leaving Trump's, the Kochs' and the religious right's kinds.

W, though, understands and undoubtedly approves this administration's and congress's moves to consolidate authoritarian power. Within W's limited abilities, of course, but the same kind of people were directing his own moves to subvert democracy in favor of authoritarianism as are acting behind Trump. His poor father.

[Rhiannon12866]

24. That's right, he's another one. He probably wouldn't agree with half of the guys at the table

And certainly not with Trump. But you're right about W, his support of Kavanaugh was disappointing. And here we thought there might be hope for him because Michelle Obama seems to like him. But then she's a very kind person. I agree that his Dad must be disappointed - and his late mother felt the same way!

And I know a lot about Jimmy Carter since I listen to his autobiography in my car - and I learn something new every time, LOL. He got along pretty well with Poppy Bush, too. He also used the resources of the Carter Center.

25. :) Michelle Obama is the kind who believes in building

and maintaining bridges and cooperation, as opposed to the ones who believe in smashing those not with them.

Literally modern Enlightenment thinking versus resurgence of pre-Enlightenment tribalism and belief in dark forces (in which we're the demons, of course).

[Rhiannon12866]

27. I remember that both Michelle and Barack went out of their way to be kind to Melania

But she's turning out to be just as cruel and offensive as Trump.

And the current usurpers in the White House have no knowledge of or regard for the Founding Fathers - something Republicans once cared about. They blatantly disregard the rule of law and have given up any pretense of advocating for the American people. I believe this is just the latest moneymaking scheme for Trump and how he gets anyone to go along with his ridiculous ideas - except his immediate family (which is a whole other abomination) - is beyond my comprehension!

[Hortensis]

30. Yup, yup. Amazing how consistently despicable their

actions are. Even broken clocks are accidentally right now and then.

[Polybius]

31. From what I see, it looks like they are all looking at FDR

As if he's telling a story, and they are all fascinated by it.

[at140]

29. Who is the one standing on right side?

[Polybius]

33. Woodrow Wilson

They left out a lot of our Presidents.

[at140]

34. Ok thanks! I cam here during JFK, so...

do not know much before that. May be the painter selected the more well known/more recent presidents. If he included every president, it could look overcrowded.

[Polybius]

32. Yeah, but he's only in his 50's in the pic

If we were talking actual age from birth, poor Andrew Jackson is standing and is a robust 251.

[Demovictory9]

15. he painted Trump slimmer than he is and without his suit jacket Trump never takes of the suit jacke

[at140]

28. To hide bullet proof vest under suit jacket!

Probably has a bullet proof shield under that orange buffont.

7. This hack does know the Bushes are still alive and.,

both have openly ripped on fat Donnie and banned him from Babs' funeral, doesn't he?

[Crutchez_CuiBono]

8. Who's the dark haired lady in the background coming into view?

[at140]

13. Future female president, I suppose! nt

[irisblue]

22. Wondered that too.

[Kurt V.]

26. the artist said that's a woman coming to take her place at the presidential table.

She's in both paintings.

[RKP5637]

10. Wow, all of these are great!!! n/t

[nuxvomica]

11. Lincoln has just said, "Is that your real hair or did you shave an orang-utan's ass for it?"

[Rhiannon12866]

16. He must have been watching Bill Maher!

[DFW]

19. I rather prefer the version with Trump and his true soulmates
