The Anti-Trump Coloring Book was created during the 2016 election. If you remember, slowly but surely many Republican candidates entered the contest. I started to draw them. The list grew to: Jeb Bush Ben Carson Ted Cruz John Kasich Jim Gilmore Marco Rubio Donald Trump Rick Perry Scott Walker Bobby Jindal Lindsey Graham George Pataki Jim Gilmore Mike Huckabee Rick Santorum Rand Paul Carley Fiorina Chris Christie I drew them at first not knowing how I'll use them. The intent was to make a therapy book for after he lost, then he won. Dang. I added a final page with James Comey using the final dagger and renamed the "Trump Therapy Coloring Book for the Cure of Trumpitis" to "The anti-Trump Coloring Book." Obviously by the title you would assume the author was not a Trump fan. Admittedly I used to be. I watched the Apprentice and got a kick out of his persona. I knew it was an act, he was the "all knowing genius." When the show became the Celebrity Apprentice the goal was to call your rich friends and gather money. He had people like Meat Loaf and Gary Busey battle it out to open a neighborhood cupcake stand. It was very impressive. I always had the thought he was aiming at the Presidency. He crapped on a gold toilet in buildings with his name on it. He felt glory in making President Obama prove he was born in the US. Instead of celebrities he will attach himself with has-been politicians and family members. Personally, I am offended by his words, actions and victory by transforming politics into a glorified smear campaign to win an election that he clearly doesn't have the temperament to run. Nothing he says can be trusted because he denies video tape and logic. We will be dependent on the likes of his family and former Vietnam veterans to keep us out of WWIII. He promises he can end ISIS...OK, let's see it. Oh, ending Healthcare and deporting millions carries more weight. I loath at the thought of watching him fake his way through a term. Personally I will treat news of him like the Kardashians. Quick mute or fast forward. My coloring book started early in the election. I drew different candidates. After about twelve I stopped. A month before the election I got pissed. The book was drawn and assembled over about 30 days. The back over is a "WHERE'S WALDO" type poster I drew of a grammar school many years ago. I tagged existing character with names of 2016 candidates. I also got the idea to use "QR" codes. If you use your cellphone and a free reader you'll see a reference article reminding you why I made the drawing. After time, the details get fuzzy. The QR codes are like notes.
