In my building, there are official portraits of Obama and Biden and I’ve had the impulse over the past three years to fling catsup on them or worse but there are cameras everywhere and I won’t give liberals the satisfaction of catching an Obama-hater lurking amongst them. But just wait until the Trump and Pence portraits are hung. There a betting pool already about how long it will be before some commielib vandalizes them.

I like it! That’s the can-do attitude Donald brings to the White House. And I like this particular article, as compared to the nasty piece that Drudge has up from the Washington Compost with a lot of negative comments and very few positive ones, for example a refugee from Russia talking doom and gloom. Mr. Trump, put those in the press who treat you this way in the back row of your press briefings. Those people won’t give up, they’ll kick a roadside dog till it dies.

I like it, too.

The man has had an interesting life. But what still is most noticeable is the elegance and charm of ALL his children and Melania....and even his exs. Everyone is a class act.

I think you can tell that Donald is not about money itself but the hard work that goes into accumulating wealth and making your mark.

I think we're in for an interesting 8 years.

That picture of Andrew Jackson must be one of the first pictures ever taken.

I read that the first picture ever taken with a person in it was taken a year after Jackson’s death.

Well, it does say in the article he was inspired by Magritte.

He looks like a magician levitating an apple.

I imagine much wailing and gnashing of teeth from the commielibs — ha ha GOOD!

That’s the painting to which the photographer was referring: “The Son of Man” by René Magritte. It’s a self-portrait, and was part of a series.

...the other belonging to the White House.

Nothing "belongs" to the White House!

It all belongs to us, the people of these United States!

The damned Clintons had a hard time understanding that and I suspect the current occupant thinks the same.

I'm glad that Trump has enough money to buy what he wants...that will keep him from stealing half of OUR property when he leaves it...as opposed to some other sticky-fingered grifters and frauds that have been there.

What are they talking about? I have a complete collection of Presidential portraits. It’s a placemat that I got from the local diner. Don’t mind the gravy stain covering the current resident, it looks great on my wall.
