2018; Painting of Trump team 'Crossing the Swamp' touches off social media frenzy

Maybe it's John Bolton clutching a gun. Maybe it's Mike Pompeo setting down his binoculars to stare into the distance. Maybe it's the gators.

But a newly unveiled painting meant to depict President Trump and his team navigating the Washington "swamp" has something for everyone.

Utah-based artist Jon McNaughton touched off a social media frenzy as he shared his painting, “Crossing the Swamp,” Tuesday on Twitter. The painting is a riff on the classic “Washington Crossing the Delaware,” only it replaces George Washington's crew with members of the Trump administration.

Yeah, so I see now. Sorry.

A lot of the nation’s ills can be attributed to the failure of the national press to do their watchdog job.
These watchdogs equate to fox guarding the hen house.

I have a different opinion, sir. But thanks for the comment.

That’s it! I could not get the preview to show me the proper size image.

Yeah, I understand that.

I always forget the size code.

That’s a very nice sentiment in the painting.
With a nice group there, Pres. Trump and VP Pence, too.
I don’t understand the serpent, though,

It’s strange but the press has decided to defend corrupt elites against the wishes of fairly powerless working people. It’s disgusting.
