I hope these portraits are respectfully hung in the proper wing - the O’dinga/Zelaya/Abbas/Che/Castro/Chavez Gallery.

“Their main question. Is that really her”?

Of course not, they transformed America and now they are transforming Michelle.........into a likeness of BEYONCÉ.

I thinks his, “portrait” is symbolic of his, “achievements” being lost in overgrowth. Kudzu is king!

No matter how bad it is, it still looks better than the real life Michelle.

And I think Zero’s portrait is far worse than Michelle’s.

The portraits of the ILLEGAL ALIEN IN CHIEF and his wife can't be "art" to LIbEralS.
There's NO Elephant Dung on them, and they're not in a jar of urine !

The moocher has inappropriately culturally misappropriated that hair (i.e., wig). Both pictures reflect them...frauds and losers.

The portrait of Barack (https://www.cnn.com/2018/02/12/politics/obama-portrait-unveiling/index.html) looks more like Frank Marshall Davis (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frank_Marshall_Davis) then does Barack.

Rosemary Kennedy must’ve been the artist.

I feel sad for these guys, really and a bit embarrassed this will hang along other presidents and first lady’s.

Forget what I think about BOMO....

Ridiculous and really looks like something from Mad Magazine
