Titled ”You Are Not Forgotten,” McNaughton’s painting features Trump — his foot on a snake — standing over a young family nursing a small plant growing out of the cracked ground. Trump is flanked by police officers, military personnel, miners and others with the White House in the background.

The man coaxing the sprout from the ground is the ”Forgotten Man” featured in other McNaughton paintings. A white man in jeans, loafers, plaid shirt and nondescript brown jacket, the Forgotten Man “represents every man, woman and child of every color and creed who is an American,” McNaughton says on his site, which offers interactive explanations of many of his paintings.
