5 d. ago Trump is offended by a painting of himself. For once, I get where he’s coming from | Dave Schilling

We all know what it’s like to be horrified by our own image. In the president’s case, he looks like a large baby in a suitWhile his friends are getting messy in the group chat, Donald Trump simply has more important things on his mind. Namely, himself. The United States’ war plans are being divulged to journalists like gossip on a second-rate Real Housewives spinoff, but the focus of the American president is squarely on a painting of himself that he doesn’t care for.
