Renowned Artist Releases Powerful Painting of Trump and the People Who Elected Him: (T)

Famed American artist Jon McNaughton has released a stirring new painting of President Donald Trump, standing in front of the White House, along with the “forgotten men and women,” he says, who elected the nation's 45th president.

McNaughton, renowned for his patriotic and faith-based paintings, said in a video accompanying the painting's release he initially wondered if he was going too far:

“When I decided to paint this picture, I wondered if this was taking it too far. But sometimes you have to speak forcefully like the brush strokes of my painting.

Of the snake at Trump's feet, McNaughton explains:

I want a President that will crush the enemies of liberty, justice, and American prosperity. They may have the power to bruise his heel, but he will have the power to crush their head.”

I like it. Of course when the libs and other UPOS see the snake that Trump is stepping on, it'll be "See. The black snake represents black people proving that Trump is racist." Or something. I didn't look at it too close but they'll probably find some kkk sheets and swastikas somewhere in it.

Nice. But before looking at it and reading the article, and given the latest media narrative, I was afraid it would be Trump and kkk idiots.

I can only speculate, but I believe the black snake symbolizes communism, globalism , the caliphate or any dangerous influence trying to slither it’s way into America’s power structure. Notice the Trump figure is standing on the head of the snake, not the tail. If you want to kill a snake, vs just slow it down or practice ‘containment’, you have to crush/disable the head of it.

Yeah, but you know if Aunt Teefuh/bamn/bln ever bothers to look at it, you know how they’ll interpret it.

Trump’s reading of the snake poem comes to mind. Love it! Symbolic of so many evils in the world today. Go Trump!

I remember being mesmerized by the poem.. Probably one of the most dramatic dialogues of his campaign.
