Artist who painted nude Donald Trump portrait says his legal team has threatened lawsuit
NY Daily News ^ | 4/17/16 | Jason Silverstein

Painting a nude Donald Trump portrait was scary enough — but now a Los Angeles artist might be sued for it.

The creative mind behind the infamous painting of Trump in the buff — and with a tiny penis — says Trump’s legal team has threatened a lawsuit over her dismaying depiction of GOP presidential front-runner.

“I don’t believe I did anything wrong,” artist Illma Gore told the Daily News.

“It’s my work and I’ll stand by it no matter what.”

Gore, who lives in Los Angeles, painted the birthday suit Trump in February — before Trump even felt the need to publicly defend the size of his manhood. She titled it “Make America Great Again.”

Gaydar going off loudly with that one.

The arms prove she doesn’t understand perspective.

..... yep, I was right, again. Doing a search she’s “gender fluid”, gag. Likely hates men. All men. Not just The Donald.

< Is that a Miley Cyrus clone?

My thoughts too. Looks a lot like her. She's just another liberal freak. Probably LGBT from the looks of it.

> Do we have a higher percentage of freaks now than we had 50 years ago?

At least 10 times as many as we had prior to January 20, 2009

I’ve seen it. Meh. Trump needs to walk away from this. What’s he gonna do when 1+ billion people scream at him, burn his picture and call him names if and when he’s president?

SHE thinks she didn’t do anything wrong...

If she’d kept it to herself, I would agree. If she’d put shorts on him, I’d agree, but the fact that it was a nude makes a difference. She should have requested his permission before going public with it. That’s just decent, respectful, courtesy. Apparently, values are an art anymore, and she doesn’t have that talent.

Pixilated to G rating version of the painting at the source. Donald’s HANDs are quite large due to the perspective she used.

I believe in the right to freedom of speech and expression as much as the next guy but when you slander or libel someone or portray them in very unfavorable or crude manner that will be seen by millions in order to "punish" them or damage their reputation, particularly if it's untrue, be prepared to be sued civilly. Should it be a criminal act? No, I don't think so because it could be distorted and wielded as a weapon against people that have a legitimate complaint against someone who's is really acting like a tyrant.

Diagram the sentence. As the headline is written the "artist" is the one doing the suing.

Bad editing should not be a New York value.

There is a disturbing trait that Trump has of over reacting to any insults or critisism or just when things don’t go his way. Twitter Wars, lawsuit threats, whining, ect. ect. That’s not going to play well in the general election

This does fall under free speech protection, BTW.
