All the president's men: what to make of Trump's bizarre new painting
The Manchester Guardian ^ | October 15, 2017 | Hannah Jane Parkinson

The artwork hanging in the White House depicts the US president drinking with his Republican predecessors

They say a picture is worth a thousand words, unless it’s a shredded Banksy, obviously, which is worth around £1m. But how to put a value on the majestic artwork Donald Trump was revealed to have gracing the wall outside the Oval Office, as eagle-eyed viewers of 60 Minutes spotted?

So far, we know of two other “artworks” that Trump has: that Photoshopped picture of his inauguration crowd (dude, let it go), and the electoral college map. It is no wonder Trump wanted to spruce the place up in his own way, given that he referred to the White House as “a dump”. I still cackle at this, given its sheer, disparaging rudeness – like how when Location, Location, Location’s Phil shows a couple around a three-bedroom semi with a north-facing garden, Kirstie mugs to the camera and draws an imaginary knife across her throat....

Meanwhile Jim Carrey is being lauded by the left for his deeply meaningful political paintings.

For liberals especially, humor is not humor is not humor anymore unless someone they hate is diminished by it.

Note in the background over the Trump figure’s left shoulder-— it is “Silent” Calvin Coolidge! Who tried to reverse Wilson’s nightmare double whammy— creation of the Federal Reserve Bank and the extensive Federal Income Tax. WWII brought the concept of “withholding” of income to the fedgov to “pay for the war”. Withholding was NEVER removed after the war. It would have changed much of what the general electorate would do and react to regarding their finances—if it had been returned. All money does not BELONG to the fedgov or more precisely the “promissory notes” that belong to the private bank... the Federal Reserve.

I will go with Reagan, Ike, Teddy and President Trump. With Trump being Number One.

The others have wine or cocktails, but PDJT has a glass of Diet Coke.

You can bet your last buck that the FAKE media never found this previous painting of past presidents to be "bizarre."

Good point

Maybe in term 2, nullify the 16th amendment and eliminate the fed.

Correction:

Since this picture was commissioned by Trump to depict him with past Republican Presidents, the female in background DEFINITELY don't look anything like Hillary and I don't think that Trump would want her to be in there especially as this is a Republican crowd.

I do like the painting and it does a good job of depicting a happy party of good friends. What is there NOT to like? Though I do wonder who Trump is hinting as a future female REPUBLICAN President? That will make liberals heads explode.

And over George HW Bush's shoulder, you can see General Grant in his classic pose, leaning against the pole ...

The painting that I thought was bizarre was the Supreme Court with the heads of the court at the time on the original gathering of the First Supreme Court.

And I think God was not too happy with it...seems it fell while they displayed it and almost clobbered a couple of the Supremes.

Vanity is they name.

Trump dominant in the center wearing a white long sleeve white shirt & a red tie while drinking a coke. It says: I am the Alpha in this pack and the red tie declares Power & Dominance, and the Coke drink says Sobriety while I’m on the job.

In other news, they declared the Democrat painting with Obama to be a brilliant work of art.

POTUS Trump, a man of many talents.
This proves the man loves to fish.
He considers trolling for leftist liberals an enjoyable sport as much as 'catching the big one'.
