It's a shitty image but I googled and googled and I couldn't find a better one.

Picture of Trump after the assassination attempt displaces Obama portrait at the White House. Trump broke some norms about hanging paintings.

I also googled the artist - Marc Lipp. I hoped I could find an interview or at least a quote by him about the painting. But I found nada.

tbf nazis came up with an imposing and intimidating aesthetic as part of their propaganda.

current fascism is the most tacky fake-gold-plated badly-painted ai-generated slop.

Which was extremely tacky. It's like a dude who thinks he's tough if he just dresses up as a bad guy

You just made me realize that Trump's ~$100 million birthday military parade he's giving to himself will be truly great in at least two ways. One, it will be gaudy and tacky beyond belief. Two, the libs are going to torture themselves by watching it live and live tweeting about it on Bluesky.

The protests should be epic. HitlerPig wants his big beautiful parade, so there should be multiple blockages, forcing it to stop, so that authorities have to keep clearing the road before it can continue. The world will watch his own citizens making a mess of his huge propaganda event, and twisting it to make a propaganda event of their own.
