Donald Trump has shared a bizarre new painting in which he acts as the conductor of a MAGA orchestra.
The president posted a video of the image accompanied by the Queen song Who Wants to Live Forever. The band has previously asked Trump to stop using their songs in his online campaign videos.
In the painting by Jon McNaughton, described as Americas most popular relentlessly pro-Trump artist, the conductor-in-chief stands front and centre whilst allies and government officials are sat on stage.
Notable figures in the MAGA Symphony include the late Charlie Kirk playing a violin, press secretary Karoline Leavitt strumming a harp, and former First Buddy Elon Musk with an electric guitar.

Holman on the French horn, Bannon on tuba, Roger Stone on bass, Musk on electric guitar, Melania under hat, etc... ugh... etc. Note that the only instrument without a player is the Revolutionary-era drum, the symbol of American values. Quite appropriate that nobody in this band can play it.

(284 posts)Sir Brian May has just announced that Queen (or what remains of it - sorry, I'm a Freddie purist!) will no longer tour the U.S. because it is too dangerous here. How DARE that orange slime arrogate the works of one of the greatest singers and lyricists of our time (and a gay immigrant to boot)!!!!!

Jabba the orange has a tin ear and couldnt direct a circle jerk, much less an orchestra.
I had a thought bubble but you filled in the words! Thank you!!

Freddie is my Spirit Guide. He got me through some really rough times after my husband died, and still to this day. When I walk into a restaurant or climb into a car, within minutes his voice comes on singing to me. My kids scratch their heads hardly believing how often this happens.
This is the last straw! Freddie, every time he plays one of your songs, please put a boot in his behind!!
