If you aren’t familiar with Jon McNaughton, you are in for a surprise. He’s churned out a number of fine art pieces over the years, pieces geared toward the fine art collector who really gets the working (white) man. You may recall this masterpiece, where he depicts former President Barack Obama standing on the Constitution, while other former Democratic presidents applaud. You can see that masterpiece below, but let’s take a look at his current offering. An homage to Emanuel Leutze’s 1851 painting “Washington Crossing the Delaware.” This MAGA version features Donald Trump holding the guiding light while Mike Pence grips the flag and Melania is on her knees, holding onto dear husband.
McNaughton provided this helpful guide to identify the occupants of the swamp boat, something that is necessary because of his not-so-fine painting.
List of figures from left to right: Nikki Haley, James Mattis, Ben Carson, President Trump, Jeff Sessions, Mike Pence, Melania Trump, Mike Pompeo, Sarah Sanders, Ivanka Trump, John Bolton, Kellyanne Conway, John Kelly
Where exactly is Jeff Sessions? Is he hiding in Trump’s pocket? Is that him with the shotgun and the flashlight? Of course, the most hilarious (and sad) part of it all is the fact that Donald Trump has literally turned governance over directly to the lobbying swamp. From pharmaceuticals to giving away public lands for private drilling profits, he’s turned the White House directly into the swamp itself. Maybe the painting is a little more on-the-nose than McNaughton intended.
Here’s a look at some of his other recent paintings. Including this one of tough guy Donald Trump, a man who got 5 deferments during the Vietnam War (claiming his bone spurs were acting up and he couldn’t serve), taking on decorated Vietnam War veteran Robert Mueller.
Hooray for Jesus in the U.S. Congress!
And wait, are you sitting down? Because …
How about this beauty? McNaughton says it hangs in the Department of Justice building in Louisiana! WTF, Louisiana?!
And his biggest fan? Sean Hannity, of course! He claims Hannity bought the masterpiece below and gave it to Donald Trump to hang in the White House.
