All the president's men: what to make of Trump's bizarre new painting
The Manchester Guardian ^ | October 15, 2017 | Hannah Jane Parkinson

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 Guardian is .... RED as in Communist. Has been in some Leftist/socialist bent since it’s inception as The Manchester Guardian in 1821! All through Britain’s pre-WWII period, since 1936 they took Stalin’s line, and the ComIntern’s propaganda as their guide. Sister papers are The Observer and one other, all owned by a commie-lib socialist Trustee, the Scott Trust. See how they use capitalist tools to keep on? Such drivel as this “commentary” article.

(Parenthetically, this is the same for all of the ComIntern’s newspapers worldwide, and in the US, the anti-war stance of Stalinists like... Pete Seeger, until the invasion of Soviet Russia by Hitler—when the entire narrative changed, overnight to -”we are Britain’s ally!” and “the US join the war fully”, etc. FDR’s admin riddled with Stalin’s spies and Truman’s after the war... the same). Cost the US a lot of deaths of our brave military- again, part of the plan.

"All eyes are on Andrew Jackson, of all people."

And Jackson's eyes are on only Obama as Obama smiles back smugly. I don't know if that reveals the artist's laughable ignorance of history or veiled acknowledgment of it... given Jackson's record on Negro slavery and dueling at the drop of a hat.

I like it that it isn’t obvious what they are smiling about - leaves it to one’s imagination. His Democrat paintings are like that as well.

Ms. Parker is a miserable liar. President Trump did NOT call the White House a dump, or anything else. THAT, and the other moldy old lies from over a year ago are ALL FAKE NEWS. Good grief lady. Scroung up some fresh lies once in a while.
