Another one of those "dogs playing poker" paintings of Trump has arrived, & Tony Posnanski responds.

[Miles Archer]

I'm not posting the original tweet, because I'm not going to send traffic to this dork, but this is the painting:



...and here is Tony's reply. Not providing a link to his tweet either since it links back to the original.

Replying to @McNaughtonArt

Hi Jon. This painting of Trump is exquisite. I’m an up and coming artist myself and would like your opinion on my latest piece.

[Vinca]

1. Trump unveils his portrait of a 13 year old, naked Ivanka.

[CaptYossarian]

37. I can't see her black roots.

They're the same color as those of the four Congresswomen he insulted and degraded.

[ChubbyStar]

2. Tony has that right!

Thanks for the laugh!

[Claritie Pixie]

3. Apparently the "artist" thinks his subject is left-handed.

[Fritz Walter]

40. Sadly mistaken? Or wishful thinking?

Over the past few decades, we've had a disproportionate number of south paw presidents:
Bill Clinton
Barack Obama
Harry Truman
Gerald Ford
George HW Bush
Ronnie Raygun

This dickweed couldn't hold a candle to any of them.

/s/ Fritz -- who now has an ink-stain from my pinkie to my wrist (hint: I'm a lefty!).

[MontanaMama]

4. OMG! I laughed so hard at this!!

Had a couple people poke their heads into my office to see what I was laughing at....

ETA: Still laughing!!!!

[Miles Archer]

26. I read about three of Tony's tweets, and I followed him

One of the most consistently brutal, no-nonsense, constantly hilarious guys out there. I grew up around guys with his attitude and style of delivery, it's very familiar to me. And he responds to Trump, directly, on a regular basis.

[MontanaMama]

35. Is this the same Tony Posnaski

that writes occasionally for the Huffpo?

[Miles Archer]

41. Appears to be

I haven't followed the site since it became "Huff Post." But I did a quick check and it looks like it's him, as he writes about his ongoing issues with weight. He tweets about the same subject. I like the guy because he's a straight shooter, and as I mentioned above, he has the attitude and language I grew up with...for better or worse.

As someone who was born and raised in Massachusetts, until the age of 16, I can tell you the nickname "Massholes"...which they wear as a badge of honor...was no accident. I have no idea where Tony's from, but he could easily be an honorary Masshole.

He also gives as good as he gets. The MAGAts come after him and he dishes it right back. That's what you learn in Massachusetts, that's what he seems to have learned on his own turf.

5. Trump could not color in a US flag outline with a crayon correctly iirc

Look in to the light
Edit to add some ingenious renderings on twitter of the reveal

[Newest Reality]

36. Yeah..

He couldn't even do anything artistic with finger paints except make a mess, (he is good at making a mess of things) which would just cost more taxpayer dollars to cleanup.

That was some odd, artistic fantasy there. A projection!

[Celerity]

56. -/-

[ploppy]

6. Thanks for the big loud laugh!

This is hysterical!

[IcyPeas]

7. wait! is that his thumb coming out of the palette?

whatever it is, it's too big.

[lunatica]

8. The way it's placed on his lap is very suggestive!

of a limp dick. he needs a pump.

[muriel_volestrangler]

14. Well, it doesn't look like a mushroom to me (nt)

[womanofthehills]

59. Now it does - Twitter was on it

[muriel_volestrangler]

67. LOL!

Thanks - I think ... (need brain bleach)

[Arkansas Granny]

16. there has been some speculation about that online.

[Demovictory9]

9. like Trump would have a hobby like painting! He doesn't paint, scrupt, read, listen to music, watch

movies or so any type of normal downtime activity. Trump's hobby is Trump

[rickford66]

10. Any Photo Shoppers out there ??

[edhopper]

11. Working on it.

[sinkingfeeling]

12. Someone has already photoshopped Epstein onto the canvas T's painting. Twitter name 'darth'.

[Skidmore]

13. That's. Scaramucci. nt

[sinkingfeeling]

15. I told you guys my eyesight is getting bad.

[dixiegrrrrl]

27. but Epstein is in both the small pics. on the desk to the right...

That's clever, I thought.

The memes ar gonna run wild. Looking forward to seeing them.

[ChubbyStar]

33. What a perfect touch!

[CaptYossarian]

38. A very jealous Sean Hannity tied Epstein's knot

just like any jilted lover would.

[blogslut]

66. darth also made the "thumb" true to size

I love @darth

[littlemissmartypants]

18. That looks like Anthony Scaramucci!

AKA "The Mooch" !

[LuckyLib]

23. The tiny hands. LOL!

[Kid Berwyn]

28. Thass bootiful.

I very much like the switch of Ma and Pa For Epstein and the Melania sandwich.

[Miles Archer]

43. ...

[ChubbyStar]

45. Fuck Yes that is FABULOUS!

[madamesilverspurs]

17. Do we need to wonder

why he is situated inside a cathedral?

Holy yikes!

.

[edhopper]

20. painting revealed

[klook]

22. Perfect. (nt)

[GoCubsGo]

32. Yep. nt

[BadgerMom]

21. My first thought was that it was a picture

of the earth consumed by a massive thermonuclear explosion, courtesy of his pals Putin and MBS.

[Shoonra]

24. The Picture of Dorian Gray

This reminds me of an illustration done for the cover of an edition of Oscar Wilde's The Picture of Dorian Gray.

[link:|

If you're really unfamiliar with the reference: A young man sells his soul so that he will retain his youthful good looks while the painting of him shows the wear-and-tear of his sinful and dissolute life. Before long he conceals the painting in his locked attic because it is progressively becoming hideous and reveals his shameful behavior.

[Sogo]

25. Giving credit where credit's due,

the likeness of Trump is pretty accurate.

[Ohioboy]

53. Plenty of artists can capture a good likeness

It's what an artist does with his work that shows whether he has true talent or is just a suck up. McNaugton's originality(or better yet, lack of originality) comes from fake news, right wing talking points and conspiracy theory nonsense.

[Sogo]

62. Don't get me wrong....

I wasn't defending the content of his art, just his skill.

[Ohioboy]

68. I understand

[kaotikross]

29. LOL, so good I did one too

[img][/img]

[C_U_L8R]

30. Why is his mushroom sized pecker

poking through the paint palette? Is this yet another strange fixation?

[jmowreader]

61. I think it's supposed to be a thumb

Given that, the painting is grossly distorted; Trump's thumbs are nowhere near that big.

[C_U_L8R]

63. Yeah. Neither is his teeny weenie either.

[Initech]

31. The only thing Trump has drawn is his signature on a McDonald's receipt.

[LiberalLovinLug]

34. And here is the painting revealed! Its called "Trump's Legacy"

(credit to Jackie S. appropriated artwork)


If I had Twitter, I'd tweet this back at his account. Feel free if you can do that.

[Ohioboy]

52. Yes

[madamesilverspurs]

39. As gifted in art

as he is in everything else.

[ChubbyStar]

46. The hands are too large but the ME is perfect.

[dixiegrrrrl]

58. almost perfect...

it should have "me me me me me"

One me is not enough for his bloated ego.

[Auggie]

42. K & R for Posnanski's response

[madamesilverspurs]

44. Still life

[ChubbyStar]

47. You are killing me

[KY_EnviroGuy]

50. K&R. Great work!

You've lightened our day.......

[Nay]

54. Hilarious!!

[KY_EnviroGuy]

48. What a waste of talent.

I hereby sentence him to painting over the orange shit-stains on our White House after tRump is gone......

[ismnotwasm]

49. Kind of a shit lazy painting too. Guy has a bit of talent, but that one

Looks like a one stand night of MAGA fury. Also, Tries to make Trump look like someone with normal expressions and failing.

I agree with not giving that weirdo clicks.

[Ohioboy]

51. The only type of artist that fits Trump is Con Artist

Sorry, but these McNaughton paintings are pure crap and are a total distortion of truth.

[LyndaG]

55. Nauseating!

Some people will do anything for a buck. Tony's reply was hilarious, tho. Hope Trump sees it.

[Shaddox]

57. Why is the pose FDR in a wheelchair with a paintbrush erection?

[smirkymonkey]

60. These photoshops are hilarious!

Keep them coming!

[edbermac]

65. I just love Photoshop!

You should check out that guy's tweet. Some of the replies are pretty funny and some pretty obscene.
