An incredible new portrait of President Trump shows a man who truly respects the flag while taking a shot at NFL players who have been kneeling during the National Anthem.
The painting, done by world-renowned artist Jon McNaughton, portrays a football field complete with yard lines, stadium seating, and a crowd (a presumably dwindling crowd thanks to the players who have protested).
Standing in the middle of that field is one President Trump, a look of concern on his face, cradling and protecting a tattered American flag.
The piece is titled, “Respect the Flag.”
McNaughton added a caption to his latest piece on social media: “When we don’t respect the flag enough to fight for it, we will be the weakest generation.”

The artist explained his work to Fox 13 in Salt Lake City.
“It’s Donald Trump standing on a football field, and he’s picked up the American Flag that’s been trampled,” McNaughton said. “It’s got grass stains on it, and he’s trying to wipe off some of the mud, and he’s looking at everybody and saying ‘What are you doing? Why did you do this?'”
That’s the question everybody would like answered – Why would you disrespect the flag, the Anthem, your country?
“It’s more than a banner, it represents all the people that have sacrificed, that have died and spilled their blood for this country, and so that’s why it’s so offensive,” McNaughton said of the flag and those who disrespect it.
The issue of kneeling has nothing to do with race. It is about respect for our Country, Flag and National Anthem. NFL must respect this!

McNaughton said that he was “proud” of President Trump for taking NFL kneelers to task and hoped his work would convey “how millions of Americans felt about this time in our history.”
His work has captured the thoughts of Americans many times, previously painting pictures of Obama golfing while the world behind him burns, as well as a particularly famous piece in which the former President is stepping on the Constitution much to the dismay of our previous presidents.
The Trump flag painting has created quite a stir on the left.
Fucking forever lol at Jon McNaughton, the guy who makes those shitty bland paintings of Obama stepping on the Constitution and Donald Trump cleaning the flag, and how his name is one letter off from the man who directed Henry: Portrait of a Serial Killer

“I do a lot of divisive type paintings, but I haven’t seen anger for one of my paintings since I painted Obama stepping on the Constitution,” McNaughton lamented.

Well in fact, “Black Lives do matter”, that’s why we need order and responsibility as is represented by the flag and supported by the police forces. “Pigs in blanket – fry-em like bacon” or “what do we want? – dead cops – when do we want it? -now”. These rants in support of, “Black Lives matter”? They made the the movement extremely counter productive. What did Kapernick have written on his socks when first knelt for the anthem? Our police are the only hope to hold up the hope of all lives mattering especially the most vulnerable, like the weakest of the black population. That’s the cops, the flag, the anthem, the constitution, and the military. If “Black Lives matter” for you, respect the flag for one thing, yourself for another thing, and those other things that make it possible to live in America. 90% of the successful black people in the world today live in America.
The flag of Alabama once stood for great things but it did have a small stain of white supremacy on it as well. Then with leftist propaganda and a few right wing idiots the stain became the main feature of the flag. So it is with the, “Black Lives matter” banner. Both icons, the rebel flag and that banner of hate belong in the same trash bin today.
I like this guys pictures about Trump and by the way Obama (one letter off from Osama) did step on the Constitution not just in the picture but during his 8 years in office – the most terrible time for the US yet but better things are on the horizon with Trump being the best President ever.
IT IS FOR SURE HE IS NOT HOLDING HIS CROTCH LIKE OBAMA DID ON TV WHEN HE WAS RUNNING, THIS SHOULD HAVE TOLD THE IDIOTS THAT VOTED FOR HIM WHAT HE WAS, A MUSLIM, BORN IN KENYON, NOT HAWAII, AND THIS WAS VERIFIED BY OBAMA, HIS GRANDMOTHER AND THE AMBASSADOR OF KENYON, AND WAS A MUSLIM, ON WORLD WIDE TV. THIS HAS BEEN PROVEN TRUE WHEN HE GAVE BILLIONS TO IRAN, A COUNTRY OUT TO DESTROY US.
Many love our country and our flag. If anyone out there doesn’t see the importance our flag holds, and supports the Socialists (Democratic)-Communists movement they are welcome to leave anytime they want and go to China, Cuba, Venezuela. Russia or any other Socialist (Democratic)-Communist nation and stay there. We are the only country that has a Constitution that protects it’s people. ….sorry, but EVERYONE in the world cannot LIVE HERE. We are fortunate to be a prt of this great nation. We need to get the Socialists (Democrats) OUT OF OUR GOVERNMENT and OUT OF OUR COUNTRY. .
