(26,263 posts)Truly a bizarre piece of kitsch. And what is that blue cloth in his right hand supposed to represent.

(54,396 posts)Maybe the picture was commissioned by Fox Noise to enhance revenue lost by deserting advertisers?
Now twenty million Foxsuckers can bow down in front of it every night before dinner and chant Trump U Akbar!

DFW
(54,396 posts)First he has to realize there is a crisis. I don't think he's there yet. I don't get the impression he realizes he is under some kind of strain that he can't make go away by a simple declaration of bankruptcy. Moral bankruptcy is not a plea that includes legal exoneration in the bargain.
Siwsan
(26,263 posts)And that level will grow and grow. Although, since he is a pathologically narcissistic sociopath - I might as well focus that hope on something rational.
DFW
(54,396 posts)I don't think "rational" enters into it.

The Genealogist
(4,723 posts)I think this tacky ass bit of kitsch that makes an Elvis on velvet look like the Mona Lisa in comparison is supposed to represent him feeling all the sadz over the flag being torn up. As if dotard gives two hoots in a rain barrel about the flag. One creepy artefact of their cult if you ask me.

Quotation marks to the left, and an apostrophe to the right. True Republicanese grammar.
She is truly a member of, as they say in Republicanese, Trumps fan's

(18,837 posts)I blame decades of Fox News. She discovered it around the late 90s, and she devours it daily. That's gonna leave a mark.
I haven't had cable TV for quite some time. When the final episode of The Sopranos aired on HBO, I took the box and remotes back to Comcast and that was the end. So most of my "cable news" consumption is via the Web. I post occasional Fox clips here for sheer entertainment value and to shine a light on the lunacy, but I couldn't imagine sitting through an entire "Fox & Friends." My sister, on the other hand, is right there on the edge of her seat.
In most other areas, she has it together. When it comes to Trump, she is 100$ on board that train.

It's interesting that rather than use a neutral background the artist chose to paint a packed NFL stadium.

(10,156 posts)Because if I had a sibling that liked Trump, I would probably smack them and say is there anything in between the ears?
Plus this is the most oddest art I've ever seen. What the shit does a ripped up flag have to do with the anthem in a football field? The players are kneeling, not ripping the flag idiots.

(17,235 posts)The picture definitely portrays drumpf as the destroyer of the freedom of expression related to the NFL player's kneeling protests. drumpf has left America in tatters.

Had to dispose of a couple old and worn flags while in the Army. I found a Boy Scout troop to handle the duties for me. The troop leader was very excited at the opportunity to teach his troop the proper way to dispose of the flags.
My back up plan was to just throw the frigging things in the trash.
