An unflattering painting depicting a nude Donald Trump went on show in London this weekend having being censored in the United States, where its creator claims to have received a thousand death threats from his supporters.
Los-Angeles based artist Illma Gore's "Make America Great Again", named after the Republican candidate's campaign slogan, went on display at the Maddox gallery in Mayfair on Friday, and is valued at £1 million.
"Make America Great Again was created to evoke a reaction from its audience, good or bad, about the significance we place on our physical selves," said the 24-year-old artist.
The work, which imagines Mr Trump with a small penis, has been banned from public display in the US and was pulled from social media following the filing of a Digital Millennium Copyright Act notice, claiming that the content infringed on their copyright.
"I drew Trump nude, I was evoking a reaction from people... so I tried not to think about it until I spoke to a lawyer who suggested I go to the police about it and file a report in case something happens," said Ms Gore of the death threats, which came after posting the painting online.
She added that the painting's appearance in London showed that "the UK has a real taste for art and enough experience to recognise the idea behind it".
James Nicholls, director of the gallery, said the work was "contested and interesting".
"Some, he said, may be offended but others will see the humour in the work of Gore. The Maddox Gallery offers everyone the chance to see the original and make his own opinion."

Trump trademarked that phrase. I hope he goes after the artist and sues her into bankruptcy.

Donald Trump trademarks 'Make America Great Again'
Trump applied for a trademark for "Make America Great Again" in November 2012 -- mere days after the last presidential election.
Trademark applications typically take a long time to process. Trump only received the "Make America Great Again" trademark in July of this year.
Here's where it gets interesting: The trademark is specifically for "political action committee services." In other words, it doesn't say anything about hats, T-shirts, etc.
It also doesn't say anything about using it in artwork.
I hope he goes after the artist and sues her into bankruptcy.
He can try I suppose.
On another note - you Trumpettes must be getting some serious wood thinking about a nude Donald.

Americans who have no experience with, or knowledge of, tyranny believe that only terrorists will experience the unchecked power of the state. They will believe this until it happens to them, or their children, or their friends.

Trump has copyrighted all nude paintings of himself?
I've seen the painting. The work of a hack.
The hands in the painting are not nearly as small as...other features.

I see the same website is promoting other anti-Trump stuff. Here's a link to an anti-Trump comic they made.

"trump is very good at bankruptcy; in fact, he is an expert."
First of all, Trump himself never went bankrupt. Four of the businesses he invested in filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy -- which means they reorganized and stayed open.
None of those businesses filed for Chapter 7 bankruptcy -- which is when the business closes and the assets are liquidated.
But you knew that.

Reagan's heirs should sue Donald the plagiarist, for every penny he's got.
Lyin' Trump!

The slimey fascist hid behind corporations that were nothing more than a registration for a corporation.
Four of the businesses he invested in filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy -- which means they reorganized and stayed open.
And the creditors lost their money, correct? here is how it goes: they accept pennies on the dollar or delayed payments, losing their assets.
None of those businesses filed for Chapter 7 bankruptcy -- which is when the business closes and the assets are liquidated.
So what ... he couldn't make his scheduled payments living the rich man's life hiding behind pieces of paper otherwise known as "corporation."

On what grounds?

"The slimey fascist hid behind corporations that were nothing more than a registration for a corporation."
He invested in those companies. He didn't run them.
"And the creditors lost their money, correct?"
No.

Educate yourself. If I have to continue doing the job for you, I'm going to have to start charging.

Ahhh .. the ye olde', "it ain't my fault paradigm shift."
#13. To: misterwhite (#10)
On what grounds?
Being a Jimmy Carter shill against Ronald Reagan, and then flip-flopping and stealing his campaign theme and slogan.
He wants to make Billy Beer great again.

Try choosing presidential candidates with principles, before waving your Trump University "degree" around here.

On the grounds that Brawndo doesn't know what either plagiarism or copyright means.

Like wife, like husband.
A government strong enough to impose your standards is strong enough to ban them.

Well,to be fair the only people that would even want one would be Trump and Fire Island.

That does sum up the Trump opposition -- childish and immature with no valid argument against what Trump stands for.
The best you got is mockery. How pathetic.
