(18,727 posts)Then why is djt dressed in a Jesus robe ? And what is that intensely glowing item in his left hand ? His magic glowing surgeons scalpel made of iridium, kryptonite, and obsidiam ? Does his scalpel use standard "D" batteries or does he need lithium batteries to achieve such a bright and intense glow.

(6,507 posts)he has another electric socket in his left hand -- at the ready to save someone else. Clearly a God of some sort.
He deserves to have a ballroom built to honor him. Plus, he deserves a triumphal arch in his name -- something that miniaturizes the Lincoln Memorial and blocks the view from the Arlington Cemetery.
Geesh, why won't people get with the grift???

(18,727 posts)The GOPee finds pedophilia and child molestation A-Okay and not worthy of investigation or taking oversite actions against djt.
Where as blasphemy against Jesus their Lord and Savior - is worthy their attentions, comments, and response. Here they march right up to the podium to immediately express their utter dismay and seek to clearly disparage djt.
Exploited children on the other hand,.. only the sound of distant crickets can be heard, but nothing forthcoming from the GOPee only dead silence.

?si=ts4Ob5hemFpCe4P_Jon McNaughton is frequently cited as the artist who portrays Donald Trump in the most favorable and heroic light. Known as a "relentlessly pro-Trump artist," McNaughton has created numerous paintings depicting the former president as a strong leader, often surrounded by symbolic elements of American patriotism.
YouTube
Key details regarding artists who portray Trump favorably:
Jon McNaughton: His artwork often places Trump in a heroic or messianic context. Examples include paintings where Trump is depicted as the conductor of a MAGA orchestra or as a visionary leader. McNaughton has stated his paintings reflect his personal feelings as a citizen and are not government-hired propaganda.
But it also could have been one of these "patriotic" artists:
Scott LoBaido: A Staten Island-based artist who has created multiple tributes to Trump, including live-painting portraits at rallies. He is known for patriotic art and has referred to Trump as the "greatest president".
Other Artists: Various other artists have produced pro-Trump imagery, including:
Vanessa Horabuena: Known for a painting of Trump that includes a cross in the background.
Ralph Wolfe Cowan: Known for creating stylized, positive portraits of public figures, including "Donald Trump (The Visionary)" in 1989.
Ben Garrison: A political cartoonist who has produced numerous supportive, stylized illustrations of Donald Trump.

These artists tend to focus on themes of strength, patriotism, and leadership, presenting a stark contrast to satirical or critical political art.

(25,041 posts)The aestheticization of politics was an idea first coined in "The Work of Art in the Age of Mechanical Reproduction" by critical theorist Walter Benjamin as being a key ingredient to fascist regimes.[1] Benjamin said that fascism tends towards an aestheticization of politics, in the sense of a spectacle in which it allows the masses to express themselves without seeing their rights recognized, and without affecting the relations of ownership which the proletarian masses aim to eliminate.[2] Benjamin said:Fascism attempts to organize the newly proletarianized masses without affecting the property structure which the masses strive to eliminate. Fascism sees its salvation in giving these masses not their right, but instead a chance to express themselves. The masses have a right to change property relations; Fascism seeks to give them an expression while preserving property. The logical result of Fascism is the introduction of aesthetics into political life. [...] Mankind, which in Homers time was a spectacle for the Olympian gods, has become one for itself. [...] Communism responds by politicizing art.[2]

(26,303 posts)that everyone comes to advice for, that everyone looks up to, that everyone does everything in his image/name/etc. tRUMP would love nothing else less.
And the sad fact of the matter is, he isn't. No matter how much he coats himself w/ glory, coats himself w/ the mantle of the office of the Presidency, he's failing miserably.

Thou shalt always TACO Trump 3:16, quipped Tommy Christopher, writer and editor for Mediaite and former White House reporter, in a social media post on X to his more than 25,000 followers.....
Later on Monday morning, however, Trump or his staffers appeared to have deleted the social media post, prompting some to take further digs at the president, including California Gov. Gavin Newsom.
Now delete your presidency, Newsom wrote in a social media post on X to his nearly 3 million followers.
