Here’s the painting Trump is displaying at the White House that everyone is talking about
Trump tells Missouri artist Andy Thomas he was pleased with how he looked in the painting
President Donald Trump talked about climate change, North Korea and the political leanings of Defense Secretary Jim Mattis in a “60 Minutes” interview Sunday, but it was a rare glimpse of White House decor that was the key takeaway for some on social media.
Observers were surprised to discover that the president had hung up a painting called the “The Republican Club,” depicting him sharing drinks and perhaps a joke with Republican presidents past.
They all seem to laughing, perhaps at the expense of Calvin Coolidge, who hovers in the background with a slight scowl.
Thomas, who’s based in Carthage, Mo., said that Trump recently called him to say how much he admired the work.
Thomas told Time that he did not know how the work ended up in the White House but said that Rep. Darrell Issa, Republican of California, had told him he was going to show it to the president.
Copies of “The Republican Club” are available on Thomas’s website for prices ranging from $55 to $1,700. Also for sale are similar political paintings featuring President Obama, President Clinton and President George W. Bush, as well as Thomas’s paintings of America’s Civil War battles and themes related to the Wild West.
