"Tacky" Painting seen in background of Trump's 60 Minutes Interview



Trump Hangs ‘Tacky’ Fantasy Painting of Himself With GOP Presidents in White House

https://www.thedailybeast.com/trump-hangs-tacky-fantasy-painting-of-himself-with-gop-presidents-in-white-house

President Trump’s latest addition to White House decor is a kitschy fantasy painting that shows him relaxing with Republican presidents of the past—an update to a best-selling image commonly found in tourist gift shops and online galleries.

The print, “The Republican Club” by Andy Thomas, could be seen in the background of a photo tweeted by 60 Minutes, which aired an interview with Trump on Sunday night.

Looks like he put Ohio Speaker of the House Cliff Rosenberger into a version last August. Asset seized after he resigned during an FBI investigation into misuse of funds.

I guess anyone can get placed up there with the republican presidents.

As ridiculous as it is that Trump's tweets become news (and steer the news) it also ridiculous that the replies aren't part of the story. He gets roasted repeatedly on his twitter feed. Dave Brat's Facebook page is the same. Ruthless.

Is Trump drinking a beer?
Looks like they just got news that they got another tax break by cutting SS.
They even got Putin in there behind Nicki Haley.

of the WH staff when they pass by that tacky piece of shit. Even a rube like Bush wouldn't stoop that low. All that picture is missing is Ivanka on daddy's lap and a deck of playing cards with nude shots of Melania.
