Lol, so many trouble makers in America. A Los
Angeles artist might be sued for Painting a nude Donald Trump. The creative
mind behind the infamous painting of Trump in the buff and with a tiny p3nis
says Trump’s legal team has threatened a lawsuit over her dismaying depiction
of GOP presidential front-runner.
“I don’t believe I did anything wrong,” artist Illma Gore said.
“It’s my work and I’ll stand by it no matter what.”
Gore, who lives in Los Angeles, painted the birthday suit Trump in February — before Trump even felt the need to publicly defend the size of his manhood. She titled it “Make America Great Again.”

She wrote this artist’s statement for it:
“Because no matter what is in your pants, you can still be a big prick.”
The work became an instant viral sensation, and according to The Guardian, it attracted bids over $141,770 (£100,000) after it went on display in the Maddox Gallery in Mayfair, London this month.
But Gore said Trump’s legal team has tried stripping away her artistic freedom. She said his lawyers have called her twice threatening lawsuits over the hateful huckster’s right of publicity.
She said Facebook, too, has warned of legal action under for copyright violation under the Digital Millennium Copyright Act. Gore also accused the site, as well as eBay and Twitter, of censoring some posts of the painting.
Besides legal wrangling, Gore said the painting has also brought her “threats of rape,” “detailed death threats” and stalkers at her home.
But the blowback hasn’t silenced her — she said she has another painting inspired by the presidential campaign arriving next week, though she's keeping the dirty details under wraps.
