American-Canadian performing artist Jim Carrey has presented his most recent politically-charged representation of United States President Donald Trump to the Smithsonian National Portrait Gallery for thought as the authority presidential picture. Washington-based Museum the Smithsonian National Portrait Gallery houses representations of all previous US presidents.
“Dear Smithsonian National Portrait Gallery @NPG, I know it’s early but I’d like to submit this as the official portrait of our 45th President, Donald J. Trump. It’s called, ‘You Scream. I Scream. Will We Ever Stop Screaming?’,” Carrey tweeted.
The picture demonstrates Donald Trump in a wraparound, eating from a bowl containing two scoops of dessert.

Mediocre painting & totally unsuited to the subject. Trump doesn’t scream in public (contrary to his opponents) & indeed tends to speak quietly https://t.co/yZlZ9SzXNF

The performing artist’s aesthetic portrayal has gotten a blended reaction. “Mediocre painting & totally unsuited to the subject. Trump doesn’t scream in public (contrary to his opponents) & indeed tends to speak quietly,” tweeted one of the users.
“Trashy art inspired by a trashy human,” a user, who goes by the Twitter handle @youaresoLA, replied.
Another user wrote as a reply to portrait, “Whatever happened to respect these days? You don’t have to like the man but at least respect the office he holds. @realDonaldTrump @POTUS . I used to be a @JimCarrey fan. What a disappointment.”
Be that as it may, Twitterati stored adulates on the picture too. “This is art!,” tweeted a user called Catherine Goldberg. Another user wrote, “Keep them coming Jim. You on fire boy!”
