The right wingers of the family would like that one too much.

(14,154 posts)I 'love' this one. As usual, almost everything it is implying is actually much more apropos to Trump than Obama:
Putin clapping. Money abused for political gains. Nice touch with the crying child which is also more Trump than Obama from what I've seen their effect is on kids.
The whole thing is confusing and full of contradictions. Like who are these people? Are they there to see Obama as supporters? Are they there to protest him? If its a protest, why is he the main speaker with the big smile? And I get it, the showering money represents all the "wasteful spending", but what the hell, he's giving back the money to these Americans in the most direct way possible. You'd think they'd appreciate that. And gee, lookie there, someone figured out this new fangled thing called a hacksaw. Why didn't we'all think of that!
"Wake Up America." Now we are in the Keep America Great phase. I want to be free from big government!"

(16,817 posts)You're absolutely correct. This would be way more appropriate with Trumps visage instead of Obama!

Here is the description of the painting where trump is holding Muller by the lapel:
"There has been a crusade in this country led by a group that wishes to overturn the election and impeach President Trump. Robert Mueller leads a special council of at least 17 partisan Democrat attorneys who have yet to find a single piece of evidence against the President, yet they ignore the mounting verifiable evidence against Russian collusion with the DNC and the Clinton Foundation. The political bias and negligence of those who have lead the Department of Justice and the FBI is forthcoming. There comes a time when you have to take a stand to Expose the Truth!"

(4,341 posts)I went to his website, on one of his paintings he has trump "giving a guy a fishing pole" because I guess trump is teaching him how to feed himself?
On another he has the "not forgotten" with trump on one side looking almost like Jesus Christ with his hands opened in that familiar pose Christ has that implies he is "the giver"???
The swamp? This is the comment on that particular painting:
"Crossing the Swamp, by Jon McNaughton Over 240 years ago George Washington crossed Valley Forge to bring an astonishing victory to the Continental Army. This led to what many thought was impossible - to defeat a despot King..."
Correct me if I am wrong, but to me it looks like those on the boat are working hard to "defeat a despot King"...those on the boat are the "heroes" having to fight the "swamp"...
I think this guy loves trump...

(462 posts)Did someone point out that Washington crossed the Deleware River not Valley Forge? Does McMaughton know that Valley Forge isn't a river? I'm guessing that he doesn't.

(14,154 posts)Why are Ben and Kelly(?) sitting backwards. Mighty hard to row forward that way. And the guy up front...what the hell is he doing? Causing a friction storm in front with his paddle. Yeah, that will help. I think SHS is even giving them the evil eye, as she's the only one using the paddle correctly.
