After all, you know who achieves that level - every day.

Now, if he showed the grand dragon giving everyone the finger, then that would have been painting worth the time. But this particular grand dragon has pissed on every one of the constituencies shown.

He's told cops to engage in brutality.

He's sending more troops to die in Afghanistan.

A tree? The EPA and Interior department are working hard to ensure that no trees will grow - anywhere.

The reference in the video to health care? The short fingered vulgarian has made it clear that his goal is to destroy the health care system in the US.

The lunatic sheriff behind him? He wear better flair than servers at Chili's.

At first I thought he was oozing snake -

A poor, downtrodden lower middle-class family planting something for the future, maybe to eat?

What a waste of talent.

Great point about the lower middle-class family wistfully planting something to eat. It's indeed what might happen to millions of families if the GOP pushes into another financial catastrophe like we had in '08.

10. The "crushed snake head" analogy
Sun Aug 27, 2017, 02:58 PM
Aug 2017

Is right out of the Old Testament. A direct biblical reference out of Genesis 3:15. This verse, "And I will put enmity between thee and the woman, and between thy seed and her seed; it shall bruise thy head, and thou shalt bruise his heel.", According to standard biblical teaching, the one crushing the head of the snake (The Devil) is Jesus.
These fascist producers of this propaganda are equating trump with Jesus Christ.

This is not surprising as any arising authoritarian state will deify it's leader, hence trump is our new Jesus according to this piece. A direct marketing ploy to our evangelical friends - I suspect many will swallow this swill whole. Look for trump church soon.

What is the snake? OUR Federal Government? Admittedly, dump is turning parts of it into enemies that we need to fear, but the real agenda is to destroy the ability of the government to check corporate power. Strangely enough (not), that's the koch agenda. They've got the morans to buy into the idea that the Federal government is bad. Going after dedicated civil servants is not "draining the swamp." A strong civil service is a bulwark against fascism. That's why they want to destroy it.

Nazi-style "art". After Hitler kicked all the real artists out.

You can see the same type of thing produced during Mao's China, or Stalin's Russia, or anywhere there has been "officially approved" art. Overdone "realism" depicting an overtly propagandistic message. Usually contains an idealized image of the Great Leader acting on the people's behalf before an audience of appropriately adoring onlookers.

At least these arts showed a coming together of happy people with fruits of labor well fed( though in reality not )....the trump one is sort of an authoritarian downer and shows a nation lacking in many ways . Different slant

Wtf we don't even get good propaganda out of this reign!

As an artist, I do believe art and protest/art politics have been around for hundreds of years. This guy seems to be just too into hatred of the left. His depictions of President Obama was a slap in the face of true artists. He has a talent for painting, be is an embarrasment to his craft and profession. now for my depiction of this painting. I see Trump holding his hand out for the poor people to pay him for the small plot of land they are attempting to grow something on. The "snake" is the tail of Satan coming out of his pants leg. I see the Sheriff in that back that is ashamed of his own race. Funny how they have a black older woman holding her dead son/daughter/grandchild/husband? military flag, being the white supremacist this administration caters too. Notice no congress/officials except for Pence and police/military. That to me is shows not trusting in any representative of the country.

If you rea the responses to this guys youtube channel, many feel Trump was sent by GOD, and that is where we are in this country.... Trump need to be a 1 term or less president, and it begins in the Senate in 2018.
