I don’t get thoughtful or humble, but if you were to put his portrait next to that of any ten presidents that survived their term and said that one was assassinated in office I’d know instantly every time even if I didn’t know the answer. It looks mournful and representative of his being dead.

And I think it’s interesting to wonder what it would’ve been like had he lived. I suspect something closer to Obama’s, something full of life

Isn’t this the official?

Definitely one of my favorite portraits. I just wish it was painted with the tan suit to trigger conservatives even more than it already did.

I got rejected by Smithsonian :(

I mean, most of them are if you consider a coffin "locked up."

Lincoln was absofuckinglutely a war criminal. Now did his victims deserve it? Listen if anyone deserves war crimes it’s the confederacy. But yeah definitely did war crimes. Sherman’s march to the sea was the most based war crime there ever was.

It's not a war crime if it's against the British Empire.

Please amend "Slave Owners" to your list, ty.

Lol. Lmao even.

Hey! Don’t forget about East Timor!

I'm only here for it if he's also wearing the bike helmet.

I bought a bunch of silver last year, and Trump rounds (look like coins, but are just round bullion) were flying off the shelves. I kept my fool mouth shut every time I saw them. However, like you, if they made one with a Trump mugshot, I'd buy a tube of twenty five of them, and ask if they can produce a ten ounce bar with it on there.

I think it's kind of a bummer we've shifted away from painting. The painted portrait seems more regal and meaningful here.

Losing a chunk of your head generally does that.

(If you seriously want an answer, that's his official White House portrait, painted that way specifically because his death)

He read the book. He knows what's happening but cannot change the narrative.

At least 3 are, you missed Ronald Reagan is smiling.

Grover Cleveland was president in two nonconsecutive terms, but he's only pictured once.

He did yes, but it was not a traditional portrait. He's in front of a bright green backdrop of vining plants while sitting in a chair. Admittedly it was an interesting composition but the actual painting work was subpar, unfortunately.

Evidently he did, but I just ripped this off of an eBay listing for a poster, then added Trump and Biden.
