The artwork hanging in the White House depicts the US president drinking with his Republican predecessors
They say a picture is worth a thousand words, unless it’s a shredded Banksy, obviously, which is worth around £1m. But how to put a value on the majestic artwork Donald Trump was revealed to have gracing the wall outside the Oval Office, as eagle-eyed viewers of 60 Minutes spotted?
So far, we know of two other “artworks” that Trump has: that Photoshopped picture of his inauguration crowd (dude, let it go), and the electoral college map. It is no wonder Trump wanted to spruce the place up in his own way, given that he referred to the White House as “a dump”. I still cackle at this, given its sheer, disparaging rudeness – like how when Location, Location, Location’s Phil shows a couple around a three-bedroom semi with a north-facing garden, Kirstie mugs to the camera and draws an imaginary knife across her throat....

The term “bizarre” here is being used as a method of ridicule, just as the leftist “journalists” often use the term “controversial” to describe any Republican or Republican idea or position.
Good catch! I wonder if she is supposed to be someone of importance. Looks like some background characters are (Van Buren, Adams, Taft, etc)
In Fact, your’s even better. The dogs in the first all resemble gangsters. The painting done for an cigar ad campaign. Though I never smoked cigars as a child, the painting always fascinated me. :-)
The Guardian has less than a third the circulation of The Telegraph.
Way less than the NYTs
What paper are you referencing?
I wonder if any were ever in the “Van Buren Boys” in their youth? Could they flash the “sign”?
He was actually a “Democratic Republican.”
I read the whole thing, like studying an exhibit in a zoo. Airhead chicks writing for other airhead chicks (she references a Brit home & garden show in the second paragraph, so you know who her target is) fascinates me. Like a monkey flinging poopourri at her chimpanions.
The Guardian is one of the main voices of the UK left and to a lesser extent the European left. It is a bulwark of left/labor politics and attitudes.
Nixon was a Quaker and I don’t believe he drank alcohol, though I could be wrong.
Correct.
It's not nuanced, post-modernist crap created by some oppressed victim of white-privilege like the garbage Prancing Barry and his wookie beard put up
With the FAKE media being today's equivalent of the Soviet Union's Pravda, do you believe they would ever tell you everything Clinton or Obama hung on the walls of the White House?
[The FAKE media had already decided to spike the Lewinsky story - when a start-up website (The Drudge Report) on till then inconsequential media (the Internet) got wind of it and busted the embargo.]
A couple of strange things about that painting:
1. President Trump doesn’t drink, neither does W. Nixon didn’t either.
2. The scene is strange. It looks like they are sharing a joke, and it sort of looks like Teddy Roosevelt told it, but the only ones looking at TR are Lincoln and Reagan. Ike looks like he’s about to comment.
3. Over TR’s shoulder is another guy. Who is he?
This may as well be dogs playing poker.
Liberals have no sense of Humor.
They would complain to PETA about the Dogs Playing Poker Painting.
Calvin Coolidge.
1. President Trump and Dubya have what appear to be glasses of Coca-Cola in front of them. Nixon has a wine glass, and according to this website, Red wine was Nixon's drink of choice.
2. It looks to me as if Lincoln made some sort of quip, but the interpretation is in the eye of the beholder.
3. See below:
Trump is looking at Lincoln and saying looks like we republicans are gonna also win CWII:-)
Thanks for the assist.
It makes the whole thing a little sadder, I think. All the other ‘also-rans’ in the background, and the First Woman out there on the outside looking in.
Maybe its just the mood I’m in.
what that really needs is obamma, dressed up as a waiter taking drink orders, that would cause a bit of a dust up, kerfluffle, tizzy of the highest order,
On what day would the two Bush's be laughing and smiling with Trump? That's what is bizarre.
