Donald Trump caricature by Dan Youra

Dan Youra's depiction of The Donald is quite different from the dominant results that are most often seen in the media, campaign literature, and party propaganda.

Dan Youra's view is very different from extremes. Neither The Joker nor Superman fit into Youra's perception, when answering the question, "Who is The Donald?"

Youra peels away the costumes, the slanted images, and the fabricated characters conjured by the anti Trumpers. Youra has his own view of The Donald, which he summarizes as follows. "The Donald is more like Clark Kent than Superman. Youra looks past the gold plated facade, the Showman's glitz, and the glamour promoted by the public relations agencies.       

Youra burrows down into the essence of the man. Start with The Donald's humanity. The artist sees fundamental aspects of The Donald's life beyond the glitz.

The Donald as "Everyman."

Each artist who choses to breathe artistic life into a character, caricature, or a cartoon understandably and inevitably depicts the character according to his or her own very personal values, biases, and preferences.

Each artist gives the subject of the art whatever "spin" he or she wants to paint or sculpt the character.

Looking specifically at the renditions in which artists portray Donald J Trump, a variety of artistic results are many, varied, and controversial.

Mostly The Donald is projected in mainstream media as the Bad Guy, the ogre who is accused of wanting to destroy the United States of America. He is not portrayed as the cowboy who is wearing the White Hat.

Amongst his fans, The Donald is painted as Superman, The Hero, The Savior of the masses.
