Don't worry, I'll vouch for them.
I'm certainly not going to defend what he does or says or what kind of person he is, but "He's a shithead so I can be one too." is a shit argument.

My comment was tongue-in-cheek. But if you are saying we are no longer allowed to Photoshop shit together as a joke...boy howdy do I think that is an overreaction.

Wait, who is helpless? What are we talking about?

The people who have to live in the same country as dictators.

Tyranny isn't funny.

You're allowed to photoshop whatever you want. At least for now.

Just like I'm allowed to acknowledge when people are acting like children.

At least for now.

It's a good painting, but it's way too warm and calm looking. Trump isn't warm, nor is he calm.

Portray him as he actually is. Don't let history write him as anything that he is not.

I mean't I hope that the denigration of Trump continues to get more "childish and mean spirited" as you said. Because it makes for good cathartic comedy. Things going to shit is already inevitable so of course I didn't mean I hope that happens.

Sorry, I just think something this important should be handled with a little more solemnity than the kind of shit you get from grade school playgrounds or Overwatch chat.

What should be handled more solemnity?

The first of many things that will remain long after this guy has finished doing what he's going to do to our society.

It's kind of like doing your best Hitler impression in the Holocaust Museum, except the Holocaust hasn't even started yet.

I mean, they aren't going to let him do a picture of a raging Trump and actually hang it.
 
That's a weird painting, he genuinely looks happy in the painting. He looks like someone who is hopeful and someone who is good to be around, someone who honestly wants the best for those round him.

In that sense it is a flattering painting.

since it's all most people can do at this point you can bet your ass this fool's gonna get clowned on throughout his entire presidency no matter how much shit he fucks up for everyone
 
Obama's actual official portrait hasn't been revealed yet right? I remember not liking Bush's.

These portraits are what they show on C-SPAN. The one you're speaking about are official White House Portraits. Those are done after the President's term in office is over.
 
Was having a hard time figuring out why he looks so much better in the painting, then I read the quote about the eyes. Yup, that's it. Great work.
