    Why do they always make Trump look thinner, more fit, and younger than he actually is? I feel like the majority of these artists are very deeply closeted men

      I don’t think this is the original painting, I think the original one depicts several US presidents around the table (including Nixon, Roosevelt, Kennedy and Obama, the last two who in actuality probably wouldn’t want to sit as the same table as Trump).

      The artist said that it was a “feel-good” painting anyway, and everyone appeared healthier, younger, more beautiful… Yes, even Nixon.

      That’s not fair. Just because an artist draws homoerotic looking fascists doesn’t mean he’s closeted.

      It means his target audience is.

      Know your audience, folks. You’ll make more money that way.
