It doesn’t look like him.

[hardspunned]

Thanks for the feel good story.

[E. Pluribus Unum]

I suspect he didn’t actually pose for her.

[HANG THE EXPENSE]

Gee, thats too bad.Thats what happens when your politics gets in the way.

I guess Trump expects that every portrait should be photo realistic.

But that’s not how art works. (I guess QEII didn’t particularly like every portrait of her that was done, either...)

It’s not an overly bad portrait… His face just looks a little too fat.

But she should’ve had him sit for a portrait to get it more realistic view.

Looks like a cross between Lou Dobbs and Trump. Really doesn’t capture his look and style at all. Maybe she should give it another try instead of crying.

[granite]

It’s William Shatner.

[goodnesswins]

Something IS off.

Actually THIS is the worst portrait ever of Donald Trump.

She had no problem making with these two look good, did she? [from her Facebook page]

[Jamestown1630]

It probably looks very like whatever photo she worked from.

She’s obviously talented, and I don’t think the President’s dissatisfaction is going to ‘doom’ her career.

[vivenne]

I feel bad for her but it looks like he has a cancerous growth on the right side of his chin.

Is that Jon Voight?

[Jamestown1630]

I rather like that one. Why do you think it’s the ‘worst’?

[vivenne]

These are very good.

[EandH Dad]

Who is that in the top one and why is Bathhouse Barry’s head warped?

[FatherofFive]

Looks more like a self portrait!
