Elon Musk as Spock
JD Vance as Scotty
Mike Johnson as Bones
Pete Hegseth as some un-named guy in a red shirt who beams down with Kirk (watch out)
Pam Bondi as Yeoman Rand
Kristi Noam as Nurse Chapel
John Thune as a Klingon in a bar on a space station
The Gop house and senate as Tribbles
the democrats as the Horta
The jaw is too flaccid.
Look at the old Stalinist bastard on the left.
Artists often work from photographs to get realism.
Actually, I can’t believe they paid ten thousand for that!!!
I don’t think you’re sorry at all...
Trump, like most at his age, has some serious ‘sag’ going on, and he did even when the portrait was painted:

I think she should have elongated his face somewhat; but I don’t know what photo she worked from.
Yeah, those two look much closer to their subjects than Trump’s.
But they all look like they were done from photos.
AI was available then?
His face looks squished down. It looks like he has a funny little white Hitler mustache (or when I enlarge the image, it looks like two streams of snot running down from his nose.)
I remember when Peter Hurd was commissioned to paint Lyndon Baines Johnson’s official portrait.
When presented, LBJ said “That’s the ugliest thing I ever saw.” and refused to accept it.
Yet somehow Peter Hurd’s career managed to NOT ‘be doomed’ by that.
As to this particular Trump painting..... Am I the only one that thinks it looks very much like the artist, not the supposed subject???
Like she used a mirror instead of a photo of Trump to guide her brush strokes and paint colors?
SORRY—_CHICKEE—THIS DOESN’T LOOK LIKE THE TRUMP WE HAVE KNOWN FOR YEARS.
Looks like he has 2 chins.
Someone needs to put it in Google and see who Google facial recognition thinks it is. Or is it Facebook that will do that?
Ha!, you beat me to it.
I’m glad I’m not the only one who thought so.
? What the heck? How could she see it for what it is and that was painted six years ago? It’s not just awful, it’s insulting.
I can see that too.
Now Trump knows how England’s King Charles felt, when he commissioned his first official portrait as King, and had artist Jonathan Yeo do it. The result was called
King Charles’ Red Portrait. My opinion? It looks ‘bloody’ ominous!
She was messing with him. Anyone can see that. He never looked even close to that fat and jowely. Bitch.
Gosh, I hadn’t seen that.
I sort of like the idea of it, but not in a portrait of the King.
