Fans Lock In on Trump’s Portrait, Say It Doesn’t Reflect Reality

A recently revealed portrait of President Donald Trump, aged 79, has sparked intense criticism regarding his appearance. Sebastian Gorka, a conservative media figure and advisor, unveiled the new artwork on X, portraying Trump in a seemingly slimmer physique, set against a backdrop of American flags and fiery hues. This image, featuring vibrant orange and yellow shapes behind the contentious figure dressed in a long navy trench coat and a serious expression, immediately drew attention. Gorka teased more artwork would follow. While Trump’s supporters hailed the painting as “fabulous,” critics mocked his depicted weight. One commenter questioned if the portrayal intended to make him appear “60 lbs. lighter,” while others derisively suggested it needed “about 100 lbs” added. Trump's weight has long been scrutinized, further intensified during his presidency. Amid conflicting medical reports concerning his health, viewers have dismissed official claims about his weight, likening his physique to renowned athletes. (Photo By Gage Skidmore: Wikimedia Commons)
