    Crossing The Swamp

    Maybe it's John Bolton clutching a gun. Maybe it's Mike Pompeo setting down his binoculars to stare into the distance. Maybe it's the gators.
    But a newly unveiled painting meant to depict President Trump and his team navigating the Washington "swamp" has something for everyone.
    Utah-based artist Jon McNaughton touched off a social media frenzy as he shared his painting, “Crossing the Swamp,” Tuesday on Twitter. The painting is a riff on the classic “Washington Crossing the Delaware,” only it replaces Washington's crew with members of the Trump administration.








    “My new painting—‘Crossing the Swamp’ ‘Never give up. Never lower your light. Never stop till the swamp is dry,’” McNaughton tweeted.
    The painting shows Trump at the helm, and Vice President Pence carrying the flag by his side.
    McNaughton identifies the rest as: U.S. Ambassador to the U.N. Nikki Haley; Defense Secretary Jim Mattis; Housing and Urban Development Secretary Ben Carson; Attorney General Jeff Sessions; first lady Melania Trump; Secretary of State Pompeo; White House Press Secretary Sarah Sanders; the president’s daughter Ivanka Trump; National Security Adviser Bolton; Kellyanne Conway; and Chief of Staff John Kelly.
    McNaughton is a Trump supporter, hashtagging “MAGA” on his Twitter bio.
    “Trump endeavors to cross the ‘swamp’ of Washington DC as he carries the light of truth, hope, and prosperity. The murky water of the deep state is laced with dangerous vermin, perfectly willing to destroy American prosperity for their personal ideologies and financial gain,” McNaughton said of his latest painting on his website.

    Washington is all talk , my friend. No action.
    Useless croaking on both sides of the aisle.

    They are actually going frogging.
    Ole Hawk could help them depopulate 150-250 of the largest croakers every night, easily.

    I like the image and the idea of the image.....but........President Trump is going to have to kick a few of his staff off that boat because they are the swamp. Hopefully he already knows that and he's keeping an eye on them and planning to remove them when the time is right.

    agreed. I've never seen dysfunction like I've seen in both houses over the past two decades. They ought to be embarrassed to collect their paychecks.
