The painting "Trump Card" (240cm x 170cm) is a dynamic portrait of the current President of the USA. The curated lighting accompanying this piece, gently shifts the depiction of Trump's persona from proud to childish to maniacal to even comical. Although his face glistens in opulent gold hues, the artists purposefully used small change to accentuate how one can be rich and cheap at the same time.
Marchenko and Green ante up their emphasis on misconception by tailoring Trump's suit out of poker chips, "He plays with our politics like a gambler in a casino. If one has done something remarkable for their country, for history or for humanity in general, one may get the honor of leaving their mark on money as well. It is the honor of that person which warrants the depiction of their face on their currency. Money can vanish, can rot underground and turn to dust but the individuals depicted on money remain in our memory and perpetuity. That is the difference. The wisdom of a good politician lies precisely in seeing the difference between the temporal and the eternal. Honor does not rely on money but rather money relies on honor.
America has gained great prestige in the world thanks to her great leaders and American money has gained great value thanks to the dedication of these leaders. The Dollar is strong… everyone believes in the American Dollar because everyone believes in the principles and dignity of American leaders. When Mr. Trump prioritizes money as a political concern he devalues the mighty Dollar and denigrates the honor of the American Nation.
