To Channel Her Frustration, One Woman Started Embroidering Donald Trump’s Most Outrageous[tr]
Insider ^ | 8/3/2019 | Amanda Krause

“Such a nasty woman.” “I could stand in the middle of Fifth Avenue and shoot somebody and wouldn’t lose any voters.” “Covfefe.” President Donald Trump’s quotes—often incendiary, sometimes nonsensical, but almost invariably memorable (or meme-able)—have become an indelible part of of the American landscape, driving the 24-hour news cycle and becoming embedded in our collective conscious.

Now, they have also been immortalized in needlework by hundreds of artists. Diana Weymar’s “Tiny Pricks Project,” a community-based, constantly-growing Trump textile protest immortalizing the president’s words in stitching, is now on view in New York.

The Tiny Pricks Project began as a one-off artwork, with Weymar hastily stitching “I am a very stable genius,” on an old piece of embroidery made by her grandmother, after Trump issued the bizarre declaration in January 2018. She then decided it would be a worthwhile exercise to continue documenting the president’s more outlandish statements on antique textiles.(snip)

“I never thought I would become a resistance person,” Hruska MacPherson admitted. “But when Trump passed the travel ban, we had three Iranian seamstresses working for us. I walked into the office, and they were all crying. It was the first time in my privileged life that politics had really affected me personally.”

That day, Lingua Franca made its first political sweater, adapting its “I Miss Biggie” design to read “I Miss Barack.”(snip)

To date, Weymar has stitched some 300 Trump quotes, with 400 more sent to her from around the world. (snip)

The goal is to have 2,020 pieces in time for the 2020 election, and to be able display the works by subject matter, grouping together quotes about issues such as abortion, North Korea, or Brett Kavanaugh.

Unless she’s actually the Queen of England, she’s an idiot. And a self-hater. Nothing more needs to be said. Case closed.

I think it’s a reference to the current Democrat presidential candidates.

No word from the media on the spread of Trumpophobia, quite the opposite, it does not exist, it is all legit frustration... of princesses representing the poor...

Of course. How else did you expect her to look? She’s no beauty queen and, by God, it’s the fault of every man on the planet. Men bad! Men evil! No man wants to have anything to do with me! Castrate them all. I wish that I were joking. They are mentally deranged. Just ask them. You’ll see.

I don’t know which is more pathetic; the woman who does this, or the outlet that published the story.
