Right-Wing MAGA Artist's Weird New Trump Prayer Portrait Gets Hilarious Makeover

Right-wing artist Jon McNaughton, known for his over-the-top portraits of President Donald Trump, is out with a new work showing historical figures gathered around the president while he prays. And it’s brought out Twitter’s art critics.

The image, titled “Legacy of Hope,” depicts people such as former presidents George Washington and Abraham Lincoln as well as Harriet Tubman, Frederick Douglass and Robert E. Lee standing around Trump, some with a hand on his shoulders. In a video explaining the piece, McNaughton said that he was inspired by an image of people like “Diamond and Silk” and televangelist Paula White praying over Trump in the Oval Office.

McNaughton has a history of placing Trump in weird situations, including riding a motorcycle past the Capitol and commanding a boat à la Washington crossing the Delaware.

I don't know who's more delusional, Trumperfuck or Jon McNAUGHT-For-Brains?

Velvet Elvis is better.
My kids first fingerpaints were better.
There is no way that any of those people in the painting, even Reagan, would support this butt-plug.

to jam those keys in that orange ear smother him with the Constitution (I’m presuming that’s what the paper is) and beat him to death with that Bible
(or “a” bible as IQ45 would call it).

All the other guys are just there to hold him down while the above ensues and Harriet prays, “Oh, Lord, deliver us from this evil scourge!!”

My guess is meth, but it could be shrooms, LSD, or maybe even bath salts.

That's quite the cast of assclowns he's tagged in that tweet, too. Good Gawd.

Text: This is such a beautiful work of art, John. The way you render the anguish of everyone behind Donald, as they pray for the strength not to beat him to death. What a moment!
