Artist threatened with lawsuit if she sells Drumpf nude painting (graphic warning)

I should have warned the reader of seeing an artist's rendition of The Donald's one inch...

I can't believe this woman was harassed and punched in the face by Drumpf supporters... Oh, who the hell am I kidding?

from anywhere other than Trump himself. I'm a huge Obama supporter. If an artist painted him with a small dick, at most I'd roll my eyes and within 2 minutes, it would be completely forgotten. How would Trump supporters even know about a painting being sold overseas, and why would they care enough to send death threats, especially without knowing if the small dick portrayal is accurate? It just doesn't make sense. And idiot Trump once again brought worldwide attention to an embarrassing issue that we would have never known about.

Would he sue over a dispute over the size of his penis depicted in the painting ? Or his hands?
