    I agree with this, it is a bit hypocritical. 

    This doesn’t mean I agree with how the president has spewed hatred. But if you’re against what he is doing, which I’m sure most of us here do, matching it with more hatred is not how to go about. Just my opinion. 
    I don’t see the ‘hatred’ in the poster. Where is it?

    Was any of these people bothered by last years Wrigley poster of Trump as the reaper?

    I was wondering the same thing.

    Gee, never thought of it this way
    If it was Obama instead of Trump, no one would bat an eyelid.  Because it is Trump, it's an outrage.
    There would be similar outrage, just from different people

    No matter how you feel about Obama or Trump.... you know that this statement isn't true.  Might be a different group generating the outrage, but the outrage would still be there.

    Depicting a sitting president as dead and his corpse being picked at isn't a sundae with a cherry on top. Guess we see things differently.

    to me, that isnt even a "dead" body.  Its just a metaphor for "liberty/democratic systems" to pick Trump clean, stripping him of all he holds dear for setting the white house on fire (figuratively).  The intent of the artist isnt a literal dead corpse.  In the plane of the artwork, Donald Trump is very much alive.

    Its a piece of art. I happen to love it, but I don't expect others to feel the same way. Mostly because thats the way art works. Its about expression. No rules. The only thing I expect from artists that I love is for them to make art. Beyond that, its up to the artist(s) to make whatever they feel.

    I remember the protests when Independence Day came out.   I mean, they blew up the White House in that movie!

    Has anyone come out asked the obvious?

    How do you know who the corpse is?



    In all honesty, the blue suit and the red tie seem to suggest it is Trump... but the dead guy is nowhere near as fat as Trump.
    or  just republicans in general but of course it has to be made out to be HIM
    This was my exact thought. Thats a brief case with a Russian style emblem. I thought it was Putin

    I never thought it was a corpse.
    A Fox News article (yeah, I read it) said the guy on the tractor was Tester. Not sure if it's true but I thought it was an odd choice to point. 
    I love this poster.
