Titled ”You Are Not Forgotten,” McNaughton’s painting features Trump — his foot on a snake — standing over a young family nursing a small plant growing out of the cracked ground. Trump is flanked by police officers, military personnel, miners and others with the White House in the background.
He wanted to recognize those people who he felt had been marginalized previously who Trump is now recognizing.
The description of the painting on McNaughton’s website discusses neglected veterans, marginalized police officers and suffering families, and praises Trump.
”I want a president that will crush the enemies of liberty, justice, and American prosperity,” the description reads. ”They may have the power to bruise his heal (sic), but he will have the power to crush their head!”
The picture shows Trump crushing the head of a snake under his heal.
The focus of the picture is ‘the Forgotten Man’ in the center who is seeking to encourage a sprout to grow from the earth.
That man is a focus of other McNaughton paintings.
McNaughton’s ‘Forgotten Man’ theme coincides with Trump who touts a similar theme, that he is working in the White House for the forgotten Americans. Sarah Huckabee Sanders periodically reads letters during White House briefings from Americans to touch this sentiment.
