You are Not Forgotten 

Jon McNaughton created this painting of Donald Trump with oil on canvas at an unknown date. The image presents a narrative of American political and cultural values, and raises questions about the public role of art in shaping political discourse. It is filled with visual codes, cultural references, and historical associations. The White House looms in the background. The artist seems to suggest that the Trump presidency is aligned with the values of military personnel, police officers, and ordinary Americans. The snake hints at hidden threats to these values. The artist appears to comment on contemporary American social structures, positioning Trump as a defender of traditional values against perceived threats. Understanding the context requires delving into social, political, and cultural events surrounding the Trump presidency, as well as conservative political movements. The archives of institutions such as political think tanks or news media could help one to better understand the image. The meaning of art is always contingent on its social and institutional context.
