President Donald Trump has a painting in the White House showing him with past Republican presidents – many of whom are no longer living.
Eagle-eyed ’60 Minutes’ viewers noticed the bizarre painting of Trump hanging outside the Oval Office during his interview with Lesley Stahl that aired Sunday night.
It shows a slimmed-down Trump, seated center, (along with his beloved Diet Coke) sandwiched between Presidents Eisenhower and Nixon, directly across from Abraham Lincoln. Teddy Roosevelt, Dwight Eisenhower, Gerald Ford, Ronald Reagan, and both Bushes are also in the imaginary scene.
The artist, Andy Thomas, says the painting “The Republican Club” was gifted to Trump by Republican California Congressman Darrell Issa.
Thomas says Trump was so pleased with the art work that he called to thank him.

I think it looks beautiful 😉
I also think the painting is very nice.
They left out Grant, Garfield, Hayes and Arthur.
The hard question is whether, a year from now, Trump will believe that the painting shows an actual event.
Reminds me of the Succah posters …
What chutzpah. How can gwb sit when his father ghwb is standing
And somehow in the painting Mr. Trump lost about 75 pounds and his triple chins – and maybe 20 years in age. This painting qualifies as pure chanifus, and I really resent that he’s portrayed as sitting next to Pres. Eisenhower, who would probably have thrown him out of the Republican Party.
The kicker is the classic red tie. I guess he always wears that tie so it made the picture
Doesn’t it look like one of those paintings with dogs playing poker? Maybe it’s the same artist.
