Trump loved a painting of himself drinking Diet Coke with Abe Lincoln so much, he hung it up in the White House. Viewers spotted the painting during an episode of 60 Minutes that aired Sunday night.
The Republicans Club by Missouri artist Andy Thomas shows Trump sitting around a table cracking a smile and drinking with former Republican presidents such as Abraham Lincoln, Richard Nixon and Theodore Roosevelt. The President learned of Thomas work which is being compared to the famous Dogs Playing Poker* paintings by Cassius Marcellus Coolidge after Republican Rep. Darrell Issa of California showed him a copy.
Thomas, who spoke to the Daily News on Monday, said he researched the Presidents drinking habits thus, Lincoln is seen with water and Nixon with red wine.
Trump, meanwhile, avoids booze but reportedly drinks 12 cans of Diet Coke each day.
Trumps smile was difficult to paint as reported by Time and Thomas noted he had to look at thousands of images. Trump has that one thing where he sticks his chin up and smiles really big, and its great for a caricature but not necessarily flattering to him, he told Time. I had to find a photo where it looked like hes actually heard something funny, so it looks like a genuine smile.

(17,984 posts)The whole thing reminds me of the new Ocean's 11, and I'm thinking he reminds me of Clooney. Yes, that's probably heresy. It's not his face but the swagger and the way he's wearing his clothes.
Or maybe I've been into some of McTurtle's grade A cocaine?

Seriously.
and yet, oh so ironically, millions of people younger than him are getting diabetes and heart attacks from the same damn fast food and sodas he eats all the time.
