Michael Moore offered thanks to his fans for their submissions to a President Donald Trump portrait contest where Moore said he was “impressed” at how many people turned the president’s “mouth and face” into a “literal butthole.”
Moore took to his Substack earlier this week to announce a Trump portrait art contest. Moore’s announcement came in response to the president taking issue with a portrait of himself hanging in the Colorado State Capitol.
Trump wrote about the portrait on Truth Social:
Nobody likes a bad picture or painting of themselves, but the one in Colorado, in the State Capitol, put up by the Governor, along with all other Presidents, was purposefully distorted to a level that even I, perhaps, have never seen before. The artist also did President Obama, and he looks wonderful, but the one of me is truly the worst. She must have lost her talent as she got older.
Colorado Gov. Jared Polis (D) later mocked Trump over the portrait complaint, posting a South Part-style portrait of himself.
In a Friday Substack post, Moore said he received more than 1,000 submissions to his art contest. He was particularly impressed with portraits making the president’s mouth into a butthole.
The filmmaker wrote:
All of them are deeply respectful and reverential of what some say is the greatest President America has ever had, a lot of people are saying it actually, and these outstanding portraits of Donald capture his spiritual and strongman essence.
And, on a personal note, may I say, the number of you who depicted his mouth and face being a literal butthole is truly impressive — and much more than I asked for or needed to see. Thank you.
The portrait entries shared included Trump with bloody hands behind bars, Trump with a shrunken head, one with his face made out of deli meat, one with a face drawn on an orange sitting atop toilet paper roll, one of Trump as a pig in a tie, and one of him in lipstick. There are also, yes, some that appear to turn his mouth into a butthole.
Moore wants to take the contest and images beyond just a competition — he said he’ll be sharing more — and suggested galleries should be set up that he will promote.
“I can provide you with a link to download these images at their full resolution, and I can promote your exhibit across my social media and its nearly 10 million subscribers,” he wrote.
