I didnt know Gorka had slimed his way back into the White House.A new, orange portrait of President Donald Trump appears to be the latest in a run of paintings hanging in the White House, with a senior aide teasing theres more to come.
Deputy Assistant to the President Sebastian Gorka unveiled the artwork just hours after Trump hosted leaders from across Europe in hopes of finding a path to peace in Ukraine.
The White House told The Independent that artist Vanessa Horabuena was behind the painting, which is hanging in the West Wing between Lower and Upper Press Offices.

(15,600 posts)Is it AI and a massive silk-screen printer, or did someone actually sit in front of an easel and apply acrylic to canvas?
It's really sepia.
And Seb Gorka? I thought he has a warrant outstanding and couldn't get back into the US or something like that. Or was that some other wanna-be mobster White Nationalist grifter?

WASHINGTON (March 17, 2017)U.S. Senators Dick Durbin (D-IL), Richard Blumenthal (D-CT), and Ben Cardin (D-MD) today called on the Departments of Homeland Security and Justice to investigate whether senior White House counterterrorism advisor Dr. Sebastian Gorka falsified his U.S. naturalization application by failing to disclose his membership in a Hungarian neo-Nazi organization.
According to the Forward, leaders of the Historical Vitézi Rend have identified Dr. Gorka as a member of the organization who took a lifelong oath of loyalty.
We note that this Administration has expressed a special interest in ensuring that those with extremist views do not exploit our immigration laws, the senators wrote. We are deeply concerned by reports that Dr. Gorka concealed the material fact of his membership in the Vitézi Rend, a far-right anti-Semitic Hungarian organization, when he applied for U.S. citizenship.

Also his rotting sour face as he descends into hell is fitting.
