"During a New Year's Eve party at Mar-a-Lago attended by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and other right-wing figures, President Donald Trump auctioned a blue-eyed Christ likeness created in 10 minutes on stage. In a well-lit performance, Christian worship painter Vanessa Horabuena began the portrait with a bright-yellow cross and ambidextrous brush strokes as a cover of "Hallelujah" and other religious music played in the background."
""There's a young lady named Vanessa who's one of the greatest artists anywhere in the world," Trump reportedly told the audience. "She can paint, slowly, a beautiful portrait for the White House, or she can paint the most incredible painting in literally 10 minutes." It is unclear what he was referring to regarding a White House portrait, but Trump replaced a depiction of President Barack Obama with a painting portraying his assassination attempt last year."
President Donald Trump auctioned a live-painted likeness of Jesus for $2.75 million during a New Year's Eve event at Mar-a-Lago attended by foreign and right-wing figures. Christian worship artist Vanessa Horabuena completed the portrait on stage in about ten minutes, beginning with a bright-yellow cross and ambidextrous brush strokes as religious music played. Trump praised Horabuena and suggested she could create a White House portrait, noting that portraits of some people had been replaced. The final image portrayed a fair-skinned, light-eyed figure resembling an AI-style Shroud of Turin rendering and was described by Trump as “amazing.”
