A Los Angeles
artist Gore, painted the birthday suit Donald Trump with a tiny penis. She
titled it Make America Great Again.
Trump’s legal team
has threatened a lawsuit over her dismaying depiction of GOP presidential
front-runner.
The artist told
Daily News that she doesn’t believe she did anything wrong, it is my work and I
will stand by it no matter what she said.
She wrote this
artist’s statement for it: Because no
matter what is in your pants, you can still be a big prick.
The work became an
instant viral sensation, and according to The Guardian, it attracted bids over
$141,770 (£100,000) after it went on display in the Maddox Gallery in Mayfair,
London this month.
But Gore said
Trump’s legal team has tried stripping away her artistic freedom and his
lawyers have called her twice threatening lawsuits over the hateful huckster’s
right of publicity.
Gore said the
painting has also brought her “threats of rape,” “detailed death threats” and
stalkers at her home.
According to her, the blow back hasn’t silenced her because she has another painting inspired by the
presidential campaign which is coming next week, though she is keeping the
dirty details under wraps.
