I think Jared’s already been eaten.
We shouldn’t forget the important precursors and influences to these important works. For example, Ralph Wolfe Cowan’s keenly expressive The Entrepreneur, which captures Trump’s strength, virility, and dignitude, while also suggesting his casual vulnerability:

That’s a level of whackadoo even Trumpists should (should) cringe at.
Oh Mama. I think this was the inspiration for the characters in Trading Places
The clouds breaking behind Donald to allow for divine illumination, the pure white of his tennis sweater, the refined yet unbridled confidence of Donald in that classic “Captain Morgan” stance…it all evokes and reinforces a sense of fiscal and masculine righteousness that perfectly explains why Donald won in 2016 with the greatest landslide in the history of US presidential elections.
It’s like actual Communist Propaganda paintings.

The painting is unfinished.
I guess Trump decided not to pay this guy either.
Yes. In this context, it’s the same aesthetic and sensibility.

Trump must have been wearing a girdle while posing for this painting…
This is surmise on your part. However… We KNOW Grandmother wears a girdle. And it comes right off too. YUCK! Nasty woman!
vous is not the same as vu
God that’s funny.
This one doesn’t move me.
Now, if he had the tennis sweater casually tied by the arms around his neck, and spoke like James Spader in an early John Hughes movie, I can see it.
Alllll…
Most…
Nailed it.
Just need to have the right hand moving in and out of the pocket a little and it’s be a winner.
I’m glad I accidentally clicked on this thread.
I’m glad some folks came by to salvage this thread. It is hilarious now.

Against the odds, they found a way to improve the first post.
I think you laff too much. I don’t think you’re as amused as you let on.

Addendum: So let the snark begin. I placed this painting on here in the full knowledge that it would generate jeers from the loser lib contingent.
Liberals, progressives, radical leftists, socialist wannabees…they all have a couple of things in common. No ideas. Nothing positive. They neither dream nor build. They only tear down. And you know what?..
Mid America has wised up to these sad relics. These thin shadows of men. America’s burden. That’s why libs lose. They deserve to lose. Feral. Alone even in their packs. Unloved. Unclaimed. Disavowed. That’s their sad and decayed legacy.
Libs. Conservatives don’t hate you. We pity you. We wish only that you could develop a bit of empathy. Feel happiness in the achievements of others. Lose your bitterness and live a better and more healthful life.
