Bizarre Right-Wing Trump Portrait Gets Mercilessly Mocked On Twitter

"Why is Trump's McDonalds bag glowing?"

A right-wing artist’s latest β€œheroic” image of President Donald Trump received some pretty savage reviews from people on social media.

Jon McNaughton painted a take on George Washington’s crossing of the Delaware, except in this version Trump is commanding a boat filled with members of his administration.

β€œTrump endeavors to cross the β€˜swamp’ of Washington D.C. as he carries the light of truth, hope and prosperity,” McNaughton wrote. β€œThe murky water of the deep state is laced with dangerous vermin, perfectly willing to destroy American prosperity for their personal ideologies and financial gain.”

Trump’s companions include: Ben Carson, Jeff Sessions, Mike Pence, Sarah Huckabee Sanders, Ivanka Trump, John Bolton, Kellyanne Conway and John Kelly.

Here’s what some budding art critics on Twitter had to say:

Of the many unintentional metaphors in this stunning work of art, John Bolton pointing an old-timey rifle the wrong way while staring into a distant past is perhaps the finest. #crossingtheswamp pic.twitter.com/R9CTjeGQqK

Looks like Jr. didn’t make the boat.

lot to unpack here but obvious observations first: Bolton looks like he's hunting Bugs Bunny and Jared Kushner has been left off the boat. https://t.co/G6kiZCi3XR

Just lost at night, rowing in circles, because of their "leadership"... perfect metaphor of this administration. BRAVO

another gem from the "Crossing of the Swamp" painting: Ben Carson is clearly paddling in the wrong direction and somehow that fits perfectly into the scene. pic.twitter.com/PQkG0voubT

Scott Pruitt and Tom Price were thrown overboard a few hundred feet back https://t.co/Yvh7kwxXvV

Bolton looks like Elmer Fudd hunting wabbits.

Is Trump LOOKING for cabinet members in the swamp? I bet that's what he's doing.

Unintentionally accurate and funny as a lost Trump has turned Washington into a swamp by hiring the most corrupt people.

Okay I get it, the Swamp Monsters are in the boat.

β€” DarkSyn (@Mihero) August 1, 2018

Anyone see a difference? I don't.

The 2nd one, btw, is a painting of "Trump crossing the Swamp."

I seriously can't make this sh*t up... πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚
