Great post.

I don't remember who it was but on Wednesday morning someone on Fox and Friends brought up the painting by Jon McNaughton The Forgotten Man

The forgotten man painting you posted is extraordinary in its emotional impact. It brings a tear to my eye because what it represents is so true. Thank you so much for posting it!

I think Sean Hannity bought it to give to President-elect Trump.

I don't know who posted it on FR yesterday I think, but the post said that Sean Hannity had purchased the original of this painting from McNaughton and plans on giving it to President-elect Trump to hang in the WH.

Great gesture for a Great man who will make America Great again.

I am trying, from memory, to ID the various Presidents and the associated binary grouping which appears to be 'concern for the individual' on the left and 'social engineering' on the right. The split that leads back to Nixon & Ford also makes me think that the artist is being subtle in that he has JFK & LBJ in the left grouping but looking at the Obama / social engineering group on the right with a degree of approval or acceptance. The same might be said in the opposite for Ford, Bush'41 and Bush'43 grouped in the right but looking at the 'forgotten man' (individual) with expressions of dismay and discomfort! The Presidents that I think I have ID'd are (from left to right);
5th) #7 A.Jackson,
8th) #16 A.Lincoln,
9th) #18 US.Grant,
12th) #40 R.Reagan,
14th) #2 J.Adams,
18th) #4 J.Madison,
19th) #6 J.Q.Adams,
21st) #1 G.Washington,
22th) #34 D.Eisenhower,
24th) #35 JFK,
25th) #36 LBJ,
26th) #33 H.Truman,
27th (stooping) #5 J.Monroe [principal author US Constitution],
28th) #37 R.Nixon,
30th) #38 G.Ford,
31st) #41 G.H.W.Bush,
32nd) #43 G.W.Bush,
33rd) #44 B.Obama,
34th) #39 J.Carter,
35th) #42 W.Clinton,
37th) #32 FDR,
38th) #28 W.Wilson,
40th) #27 W.Taft,
41st) #26 T.Roosevelt.

Obviously, I have not looked up the picture for the painter's list because I wanted to do my own work. BUT I cannot find one of the 1st tier Presidents, WHERE IS Thomas Jefferson (#3)?

The good news is that H.Clinton will NOT APPEAR in any such future versions!
