Tbh it seems like a very flattering depiction of him?
Like, no jowls, no mouth-eyes.
What's his issue with it?
Because it isn't his 'brand' image..it's not him visually and doesn't make him look like the sack of shit he wants to be portrayed as
This is his brand of image:
"Sinister" is the word you're looking for.
And if this seems vaguely familiar, here's why:
Dictators, fictional and real alike, love sinister portraits of themselves.
He just looks like he’s sucking on a caramel and not sure how to release its grip from his palate. He’s delusional, if he thinks he can look tough while in his infirm 80s
Not it is not. Obama was sinister, Trump is dexter. Us south-paws have it hard enough without trying to push him on us too.
One of his eyes is squinting more than the other.
While I agree with what your picture is saying, can you please mark this as NSFW
please.(changed on edit) I need to ride some public transportation soon.I mean, it's NSFW even without the dick-nose
50 POINTS FOR GRYFFINDOR!!!
Much better than the scowling Apprentice promo looking portrait that is his official one.
If I had money, I would buy this artwork and organize to have it displayed everywhere and covered massively by the media to piss him off.
It should be the only reference image ever used in any news story about him, as should Drag Queen Putin for that shit bag.
Trumps best look will be once he’s in a casket.
The correct response is to do as he asks... Respectfully remove the painting.
Then replace it with a picture of an orange baby and put his name on the plaque.
The actual backstory on this (referenced in the article) is even more absurd.
That spot which is supposed to have Trump's picture was empty for quite a while because they were having trouble raising money for it. But then someone smuggled in a literal picture of Putin and hung it in its place. Colorado Republicans had no trouble raising the money after that.
That is funny as hell.
Which idk I love the idea that no one wanted to pay for a Trump painting.
Using Putin instead may have been gilding the lily.
I mean its bad, but it doesnt look intentionally mocking. Only piss babies would care. I wouldnt even care if someone drew me as the devil with a dick in each hand, hell yeah man art it up.
I mean, it's better than I could afford to pay someone to do a portrait of me.
I could maybe afford a caricature artist, but not a real painter portrait artist.
Seriously, its not like the picture of that wealthy Aussie cunt. Or of King Charles with the red everywhere.
Im fine if we remove all presidential portraits from both this term and the last. I would say I would like to wipe this whole period from the history books but we need the cautionary tale.
It would be funny if we bully wikipedia to use this photo of him forever.
It didn’t show his oiled Rambo chest. Of course he’s upset.
