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.

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