I don’t know who will be the artist but it might be a good time to buy orange paint futures.

Haven’t read the thread, only did a search for “monkey” and nothing came up, so of course I propose the woman who painted the monkey Jesus:
God, I can see this in my mind – the huge Fonebone chin, coupled with the ludicrous combover, and the floppy feet that bend in half at the arch.
I vote for this.
Unfortunately, he died in 2000.
They’re still doing “Spy Vs. Spy.”
Do we need a new painting? I’m sure nobody in the White House wants to be looking at any kind of rendering of the the shitgibbon’s actual face.
Alternatively, if $86.8 million is a bit steep, a GoFundMe for $8.68 would probably buy you an installation piece consisting of a bag of Cheetos, hamberders and two scoops of ice cream.
Earl Scheib. And for only $29.95!
“Dawk!”
Huh. I’d heard Trump’s official portrait was hung years ago.
Same one I was thinking of:

Pretty good, except for the eyes not being porcine enough.
That works on several levels. I mean, I get the hurricane (over Alabama, right?) reference, and that at its most superficial it would look like an atrocity to anyone who isn’t wholly detached from reality. But then we can be equally certain that Trump and his acolytes would insist it’s “the best, most presidential portrait of a President ever, and a lot of very good artists have called to tell him his art is better than theirs.”
The perfect representation of his presidency. We might even use it as a litmus test going forward. Those who can attest to its atrociousness will be deemed eligible for office. All others will be presumptively disqualified, as insurrectionists.
Isn’t Hunter an artist? That might work.
Hang Trump’s official portrait in a place of honor in the White House, backwards just like Benedict Arnold’s portrait at West Point.
My favourite New Yorker cartoonist, Edward Steed.

I know this is blasphemy for a Straight Dope reader (not to mention someone who’s actually corresponded personally with Slug), but I always get this guy mixed up with Sergio Aragonés, the artist who drew little doodles in the margins of MAD Magazine. Come to think of it, a tiny doodle of an ineffectually indignant Trump, applied inconspicuously to the frame of Biden’s portrait, would serve as an excellent official portrait.
Gawd darn you all! I came in here to say Don Martin and Earl Scheib.
How about Ernie?
