Donald Trump is at it yet again
The world’s most delusional man has pretty much topped all his other self-aggrandizing feats with this: a painting of Trump sat down with former Republican presidents of years gone by, just enjoying a drink and a chinwag.
And this isn’t something he has quietly hung up in his own home. Oh no. He’s placed it in his office in the White House.
A painting. Of him sat opposite Abraham Lincoln. Just casually enjoying a drink. Of Diet Coke. Fucking hell.

The work, called ‘The Republican Club’ and painted by Andy Thomas, was gifted to Trump by Republican congressman Darrell Issa.
If you were wondering about the full lineup on display, the picture includes:
Abraham Lincoln, Teddy Roosevelt, Dwight Eisenhower, Richard Nixon, Gerald Ford, Ronald Reagan, George Bush, both senior and junior versions, and of course, Donald Trump.
(Calvin Coolidge is the guy menacingly lurking in the background, for some reason.)
Predictably, it didn’t take long for the internet to get to work in ridiculing Trump’s newest prized possession.
The painting Trump has hanging in the White House is exactly the kind of painting Alan Partridge would have if he was president. pic.twitter.com/E4lkd8I1Np

This is akin to Soviet era propaganda 😂 everything about it is awful. All those presidents are gowls, and they’d think he was the biggest gowl, not fawn at him. Big wide space in the middle for a woman, in the back, where she belongs. Awful painting. Trump loves it of course. pic.twitter.com/PM8EghJ1eA

Multiple sources have claimed that upon receiving the painting, Trump phoned up the artist to tell Thomas how good he thought the painting (translation: he himself) looked.
Still, he’s at least got his choice of Starburst flavours absolutely bang on.
