Just in time for Wednesday night's second round of GOP debates, a Portland, Oregon, artist has found a new way to stick it to front-runner Donald Trump. Sarah Levy used her own menstrual blood to create an oddly realistic portrait of the controversial candidate.
The painting, called "Whatever," is a reference to Trump saying moderator Megyn Kelly had "blood coming out of her wherever" during the first GOP primary debate. He seemed to be implying she had her period at the time, but he later insisted he meant her nose. Levy wrote in an editorial that her painting felt necessary as an antidote to Trump's ideas. "I think there's a way to use art, especially if it's a little humorous, to begin to deflate Trump's arrogance and give back confidence to all the people who might be a tad terrified at the prospect of a racist doofus like him running the country," she wrote on SocialistWorker.com.
"Trump thinks he can bring up the healthy functioning of women's reproductive systems to insult women's intelligence. Bloody Trump thinks different," she wrote on her Etsy page. "Let's make America great again — for women, immigrants, working people, and everyone else Trump fears when he's home alone at night crying beneath the bed sheets."
Levy wrote on her website that she used her own blood, plus a tampon and a paintbrush, to create the portrait. Her goal is to auction the painting, and sell prints of it, to raise money for charities that support Mexican immigrants in the U.S. Given Trump's strong anti-immigration platform, it seems like a perfect fit.
