This painting, titled "MAKE AMERICA SAFE", was created by Jon McNaughton. The composition is dominated by the figure of Donald Trump, who stands before a white picket fence. His form is solid and imposing against a backdrop of a fiery sunset and an American flag. The symbolism here is overt, relying on established cultural codes. The fence, bathed in the golden light, signifies protection and enclosure, playing on notions of national borders and security. Trump, holding the key to the gate, embodies the gatekeeper, suggesting control and authority. The choice of a traditional, almost academic style of painting reinforces a sense of established order and conservative values. This calculated combination of form and content attempts to present a narrative of strength and nationalistic sentiment. Ultimately, the artwork functions as a visual statement, employing a symbolic language to convey a specific ideological message.
