There is a lot of artwork out there depicting Donald Trump. He is a former president after all, and has a ravenous supporter base who will buy just about anything with his likeness. And much of the art that is produced is pretty…questionable.
There’s the main artist of Trump, Jon McNaughton. On his website [1] he calls himself “Americaโs foremost conservative artist. An outspoken critic of the left, McNaughton strives to paint images that express his ideas and beliefs. Hated and loved for his controversial work, viewers from around the globe write about the unique perspective of these paintings that seem to tap into the heart of American Patriotism.”
LMAO.
And McNaughton’s work is just…classic. Here are a few samples, the first one is called CROSSING THE SWAMP:
Then we have ALL – AMERICAN TRUMP:
Then my personal favorite, KEEP ON TRUMPIN’. Because can’t you just envision a smiling Melania (lol) climbing into a monster truck (lol) wearing her 6-inch, $900 Christian Louboutin pumps.
But it appears McNaughton has some competition, from one Gary Peterson. In his Twitter profile [2], Peterson describes himself as “Patriot. Bible Reader. Mall Santa. I like WOMEN! Bass player for our church band Shifty Nelson & The Dixieland Scooters, who puts America First.”
He LIKES WOMEN y’all. He’s a tough man, not one of those fairy men, ya hear?
Well, while surfing Twitter this Saturday night (I know, exciting life) I came across Peterson’s newest piece of art and it’s too good not to share:
My latest painting captures the true love of the President and Melania Trump, whose inspiring romance makes us all our hearts melt like butter. pic.twitter.com/R8Hb5zNcVO [3]

Is you heart melting like butter? Cause mine isn’t.
I don’t even know what to say. Like, more power to the guy. It takes guts to share your art with the world, especially when the subject is someone who is pretty much universally hated.
Peterson has even presented his art to Trump in person, but not this particular masterpiece. And you can tell by the look on Trump’s face that’s he’s just thrilled with it!
As you’d imagine, Twitter had a field day:
I love the interpretation of Trump as the uncle who asks you to pull his finger. Bold. pic.twitter.com/eYWMAJQG1d [5]

I want to know more about your process. Were you on bath salts or DMT when you "painted" this?

LOL!!!!! Absolutely hilarious. Trump as a sleazy, bloated uncle. Well done.

Mr. Peterson, You are truly a master of your craft. I would not be surprised if White House Historical Association reaches out and asks you to donate it to their Presidential portrait collection. Itโs breathtaking.

Youโre a fucking legend. You really captured the bigness of our big boy.

When did Melania get married to Jon Lovitz? pic.twitter.com/qMQkON5oqv [15]

Because whenever someone thinks of โinspiring romanceโ they envision their husband cheating on them weeks after theyโve given birth. ๐
— Linda Childers (@lindarchilders) January 23, 2023 [17]
Agreed. Never was a romance more inspiring than when Donald J. Trump slept with Stormy Daniels while Melania was pregnant and then paid her hush money.
It gives me goose bumps – big old 'Merican goosebumps!

You know this would make an excellent official presidential portrait!
We'd save $$ as a country because 1) you're bound to be cheap, 2) No one will know who it is cuz its "abstract" and 3) we get two for the price of one. No one wants to see those two near the WH ever again.
