Trump loved a painting of himself drinking Diet Coke with Abe Lincoln so much, he hung it up in the White House. Viewers spotted the painting during an episode of “60 Minutes” that aired Sunday night.

“The Republicans Club” by Missouri artist Andy Thomas shows Trump sitting around a table cracking a smile and drinking with former Republican presidents such as Abraham Lincoln, Richard Nixon and Theodore Roosevelt. The President learned of Thomas’ work — which is being compared to the famous “Dogs Playing Poker”* paintings by Cassius Marcellus Coolidge — after Republican Rep. Darrell Issa of California showed him a copy.

Thomas, who spoke to the Daily News on Monday, said he researched the Presidents’ drinking habits — thus, Lincoln is seen with water and Nixon with red wine.
Trump, meanwhile, avoids booze but reportedly drinks 12 cans of Diet Coke each day.

Trump’s smile was difficult to paint — as reported by Time — and Thomas noted he had to look at thousands of images. “Trump has that one thing where he sticks his chin up and smiles really big, and it’s great for a caricature but not necessarily flattering to him,” he told Time. “I had to find a photo where it looked like he’s actually heard something funny, so it looks like a genuine smile.”

It fits the "sob-in-office" just fine because he is damn ugly along with that smug of his.
Former / late owner NY Yankees G. Steinbrenner called out one of the high priced starting
Yankees pitchers [a Japanese player, but forget name] an 'ugly toad'. Not appropriate, but
the "sob-in-office" is definitely deserving of that description.

With some skilled PS artists' work...it looks a little more realistic. In fact, I'd swear
that when looking at Reagan's image, it must be thinking: "Thank God, Dwight "Ike"
Eisenhower is seated between me and that fat ugly blob."

Others think this is the more appropriate table setting.

This painting/portrait meme gets damn funnier because a different thread now shows more
creativity at work done by others.
