Some people have said that I was asking for it because I painted Donald Trump nude and I was disrespectful,” the Los Angeles-based told IE.

The portrait showed Trump’s flabby body and attacked his manhood.

“The response was huge. I had 50 million views within three days of posting it,” she said.

But some Trump supporters weren't happy, she said. Over the weekend, one attacked her, she said.

“A man got out of the passenger side of a car and struck me in the face and the group of men who were in the car laughed, and yelled 'Trump 2016' and drove off,” she said.

1. REAL MAN.

Hit a woman then run. Yep a real He man.

2. Well what did you expect? This asshole is a

charter member of the He-man woman haters club! Fucking dicks!!

3. Whats happening in our country is disgusting. These type

of incidents are occuring more and more often, it is heartbreaking. Children are witnesses to this very dark era we have entered into. History is going to remember each of these brain damaged pieces of shit.

4. like most trump

the onkly way they can face a women is by running away , typical dump cowards and low life

5. The lower part of this painting that has trumpsters so excited

is cut off in this view. It's also officially what got her banned from Facebook and eBay, or maybe just too many angry trumpsters seemed bad for profits.

I went to see what that thing on her neck was, and it turns out she's made herself a "human canvas" to display designs chosen by others, also people can have their names tattooed no her. In some years, presumably when there's no more space left to fill, she'll display the finished art.

She likes being a center of controversial attention, but the sheer volume of trumpsters death threats, bannings, etc., may be becoming oppressive.

12. She is on Facebook...and the tat on her neck is from Where the Wild things Are

which reminds her of her mom reading it to her as a child.

[Hortensis]

14. So she chose that in-every-reflection one. Good.

And nice story behind it.

Also good that she's not banned from Facebook. Sorry I got that wrong, probably remembered the wrong site and it's another. Facebook's still huge and would probably be very damaging economically.

[Lucinda]

17. I think that there may have been an issue with FB deleting the pic of the Trump photo

so there probably was conflict at some point, but not now.

[Hortensis]

19. Likely. It got less and less...flattering the farther

south it went.

6. Violence appears to be a common thing with trumpkins

I have had a few trumpkins threaten me because I didn't agree with their fucked up views.

7. What courageous macho men the trumpadores are

Republicans never attack unless they think their victim is too weak to fight back, whether it's Reagan attacking the island of Grenada or Trump thugs attacking a small young woman. Their cowardice is the same everywhere.

[Vinca]

8. All things considered, I think the portrait flatters him too much.

I'd add another 50 pounds, bigger jowls and more of whatever that is on his head. Hope the young woman got the truck's license plate. Don't let the assholes get away with this stuff.

[smirkymonkey]

9. I agree, I think he looks much better in the portrait than he does in real life.

Especially the face and hair. She was very generous. I can't believe what cowards these Trumpers are. What kind of man slugs a woman in the face and then runs. I wonder if they would have done it had the artist been male.

10. as interesting and upsetting this may be,...

...the story is old, pre-election. Check the date on the insideedition article...

Yes, it is outrageous this happened, but using old news stories to ignite current passions without indicating the age of the story seems to be a bit too calculated...

[Scarsdale]

11. Mistaken identity?

They might have thought she was Miley Cyrus, who creates controversy, too. Not that that excuses it, but still.

[vercetti2021]

13. We're seeing the devolving of human beings

Especially in conservatives devolving into Neanderthals essentially. I'm sure these are the same types that call liberals soyboys because we don't treat women like shit like these morons do. But this is the reason why I got my mother a stun gun for Christmas because she has a lot of anti Trump stickers on her car. So I pity anybody that tries to hit her...Wait no I don't.

[Javaman]

16. not devolving, some just never evolved. nt

[vercetti2021]

20. That's a really good point

[Ligyron]

15. Trumpsters do this to intimidate.

They're hoping it will discourage others from criticizing their hero in public.

Don't let them!

You won't die from a black eye but you can sure go to jail for assaulting a woman. Hopefully, this guy will get caught and suffer the consequences. He'll no doubt brag to people about putting an uppity female in her place and I'll bet another woman hearing him boast about it will turn him in.

18. That Artist, Ashley or Illma Gore, Is Interesting

Worth looking up. Reading about the artist reveals a good deal. The artist is difficult not to like. I use no pronouns, due to the artist's stated gender fluidity.

[Lucinda]

21. +1

[Nevernose]

22. How many people got beat up

As a reaction to disrespecting President Obama? I’m not saying that it NEVER happened, but if it did, it wasn’t nearly as often as I hear about Trumpsters attacking people (or people lying about being attached by Obama supporters, like the “backwards B” woman).

23. I wonder if the

puncher has started his new job at the White House yet.
