Behold! Trump's Four Great American Artists

| Exclusive: A ChatGPT render of all the American artists in the future "Garden of American Heroes" (L to R: Ansel Adams, Charles Willson Peale, John Singer Sargent, Gilbert Stuart) |
Particularly bizarre is the garden's small contingent of American artists. Excluding architects and filmmakers, there are barely half a dozen visual artists. One is Samuel Morse, but he's surely included as inventor of the telegraph rather than a portraitist. Also on the list are John James Audubon, Norman Rockwell, and Dr. Seuss, who might be classified as illustrators rather than artists per se. That leaves just four great American artists in the MAGA pantheon: Ansel Adams, Charles Willson Peale, John Singer Sargent, and Gilbert Stuart.
Huh?

Remember Project 2025? He told us so.
And the whirlwind continues.
Remember: the midterms.

If the core of the idea was inspired by him, then the project is apparently now being guided or overseen by others.
In the case of LACMA, I wonder how much is due to Michael Govan, LACMA's board of trustees, LACMA's curators or Peter Zumthor?
The director of the Lucas Museum recently stepped down, and how much of that was due to personality, politics or personal taste too?
How much are cities like NYC in the east or San Francisco in the west affected by politics? Made better, made worse?
... What a total waste of taxpayer money? Here's the fraud. It's a $200,000 commission for each of the statues, 250 of them.
Then there is the matter of politics, also found in the world of arts, culture and throughout life in general. As with a San Francisco, the politics of LA may be affecting it too. It probably had some affect (at least when it comes to prevention and preparation) on the huge fires in January.

SF Standard, April 23: "....Saks Fifth Avenue in Union Square is closing, the company announced Wednesday....Macy’s impending exit and the grim state of the San Francisco Centre Mall have also been drags on the area’s recovery."
