強麥可納頓(Jon McNaughton)執筆畫出喬治華盛頓(George Washington)率兵強渡德拉瓦河場景,只是這次換成川普率領滿載行政官員的小船渡越白宮沼澤。川普打領帶穿便褲,外搭總統飛行夾克與棒球帽。跟華盛頓不同,另外手持提燈向空中照亮前路。船員各個身著偽裝服,其中四位手握長槍。由於原畫時間正值聖誕節因此河道佈滿結冰威脅,相較麥可納頓畫作則是鱷魚埋伏於陰暗沼澤。國會聳立在背景遠後方。
畫家網站本作品名「穿越沼澤(Crossing the Swamp)」描述寫:「兩百四十年前,喬治華盛頓挨過福治谷強渡德拉瓦河,為大陸軍(Continental Army)取得驚人勝利。許多人覺得不可思議,竟打敗暴君與其強大軍隊。
如今,川普奮力穿越華盛頓特區"沼澤",帶來真相、希望、昌盛之光。暗勢力濁水內伴隨危險害獸,為了私人己利與意識形態非常積極摧毀美國繁榮。各方權勢集團 - 民主黨員、永不支持川普的共和黨員、暗勢力、假新聞媒體將不擇手段阻止美國多數人得償所願。
身為畫家,去感受並描繪我們國家當前狀態有必要講出來的東西。盼望川普牢記總統身份修復偉大美國。我想搭上那艘航向自由的船 !

以下整理推特上一些新進藝評不吐不快的話:
"驚世絕美藝術品裡頭無意間暗藏許多隱喻,其中約翰波頓手拿舊步槍指錯方向凝視遙遠過去大概是最棒的一位。 #穿越沼澤"
"看來小川普沒有趕搭上船。"Of the many unintentional metaphors in this stunning work of art, John Bolton pointing an old-timey rifle the wrong way while staring into a distant past is perhaps the finest. #crossingtheswamp pic.twitter.com/R9CTjeGQqK

"這蠻多解釋不過先觀察明顯的:波頓像在獵捕兔寶寶(Bugs Bunny),傑瑞德庫許納(Jared Kushner,總統女婿和總統高級顧問)被丟下船。"Looks like Jr. didn’t make the boat.

"不過是夜間迷路,原地打轉,因為他們的"領導"...完美比喻這行政團隊。讚啦~"lot to unpack here but obvious observations first: Bolton looks like he's hunting Bugs Bunny and Jared Kushner has been left off the boat. https://t.co/G6kiZCi3XR

"川普拿煤氣燈嗎?"Just lost at night, rowing in circles, because of their "leadership"... perfect metaphor of this administration. BRAVO

""穿越沼澤"另個亮點:顯然班卡森划錯方向,不知怎麼搞地十足符合畫面。"Why is Trump's McDonalds bag glowing?

"史考特普魯特(Scott Pruitt,前環保署長)與湯姆普萊斯(Tom Price,前衛生及公共服務部長)幾百呎前被扔出船外了。"another gem from the "Crossing of the Swamp" painting: Ben Carson is clearly paddling in the wrong direction and somehow that fits perfectly into the scene. pic.twitter.com/PQkG0voubT

The 2nd one, btw, is a painting of "Trump crossing the Swamp."

麥可納頓看來泰然自若準備挑起更多網路熱議在推特續貼舊作「真相揭露(Exposing the Truth)」。川普猛抓滿臉驚恐的通俄門特別檢察官羅伯穆勒(Robert Mueller)領帶,以放大鏡仔細反(?)調查人家。
