1. I have to say I find his stuff fascinating.

[Willie Pep]

20. It really is.

I think it shows how important perception and symbolism are for many people. How the heck did a former playboy, casino owner, reality TV star, New York real estate mogul become a symbol of God-fearing, patriotic Americanism? There is the phenomenon where people change their perception of people and things based on their own political bias. So a person who ten years ago might have dismissed Trump as just another Hollywood/New York type now sees him as a defender of Truth, Justice and the American Way because he ran as a Republican and spouted right-wing talking points.

My own grandmother is somehow convinced that Trump is a righteous Christian despite the fact that he doesn't seem to go to church at all, has been divorced twice and married three times, was known as a playboy in his younger years and owned casinos. Yet she thought he was more authentically Christian than Obama who clearly did go to church and has a very conservative married life. Again, perception is more important than reality for many people.

2. more Deplorable Art. nt

[Tommy_Carcetti]

3. Even in hagiography Trump can't appear empathet

He's basically standing there clueless like, "What the hell are you doing there?"

[underpants]

11. WTF is wrong with this loser?

That's what it says to me.

[RhodeIslandOne]

19. He's probably asking the woman to pee on him for cash

[lunasun]

4. Notice all the money they had to throw around on the ground with Obama is gone in

the trump painting. Con 1/2 snake 1/2 man took all the money away and the land so infertile now a weed won't even grow with out help and trump has his hand out asking for more.
Yep that's what I see as the difference !

[canetoad]

5. Hands too big

Gut too flat, tie too short.

[mountain grammy]

24. Yep, yep and yep.

[n2doc]

6. Looks like he gave Trumpy a 20-40 pound weight loss

What the hell are they planting, a pot plant maybe?

And to be really representative, that guy planting the plant should have a 'fashy' haircut

He does get Trump's favorite position correct, hand out, waiting for money to be handed to him.

Where are the tiki torches?

[Warpy]

7. Suitable for MOBA, really

Look at Dump's right hand, he's obviously spotted a pussy to grab. (his words, not mine)

I can't fault anyone for working from photographs, the great Norman Rockwell worked that way. However, I can't find anything redeeming about either picture, not color or composition or anything else. However, they do nicely expose McNaughton's id for extensive commentary.

[MLAA]

8. The artist was able to capture more people of color in Trump's painting than in entire GOP 😬

And why is everyone white except Obama in that painting?

[underpants]

10. Sheriff Clarke

Because he's important

[ATL Ebony]

16. 1st Black President

He's among the company of FDR, Kennedy, Lincoln, Clinton, Reagan, etc.

[MLAA]

22. Thanks!

I took another look and can recognize a few faces now. Man oh man, I miss President Obama and the extraordinarily wonderful Michelle.

[ATL Ebony]

32. At first glance I wondered the same thing then noticed Clinton so took a closer look

and reexamined both pieces and realized the artist had a unique way to express his message

[MLAA]

34. It makes me feel like all the previous presidents are looking down on President Obama and

As he is 'stepping all over the constitution'. When in fact, he upheld the constitution and exemplified the best of America.

[Scurrilous]

9. Is that poo dangling from Trump's shoe?

[cyclonefence]

13. I think it's his tail coming out the bottom of his pants leg

[ATL Ebony]

14. Looks like a snake to me, you know -- big snake, little snake.

[muriel_volestrangler]

15. The earth around the shoot is undisturbed, so he must be about to dig it up

Maybe that's why the woman is about to pour water over him.

[NurseJackie]

17. That's not water.

[muriel_volestrangler]

21. You mean that's ... a Russian hooker???

[GoCubsGo]

28. It's Brawndo.

[ATL Ebony]

18. Possibly but looks like infertile soil

A result of Trump's destruction yielding soil that even inhibits or prevents the growth of plants. The young man is attempting to plant something, the woman is there to water the plant -- hopeful youths, at least that's my take.

[yardwork]

23. She's holding a Kool aid pitcher.

[GoCubsGo]

25. That's not Kool Aid. It's Brawndo.

It has electrolytes.

[hatrack]

26. And the best parody response I've ever seen to this buffoon

[ProudLib72]

27. Jaybus represents the weak and downtrodden

Cthulhu represents power. I know which one the RWNJs are going to choose.

[dalton99a]

29. A shitty wannabe Kinkade

[Merlot]

33. And kinkade is pretty sh*tty.

[ProudLib72]

30. Looking at the first painting, I am reminded of this

At least Obama has caught the largest piece of litter under his shoe.

[bronxiteforever]

31. 45's hand is in p***y grabbing position! Clearly drawn from real life
