Trumpito Timeline Series. 2020. 

video-animation; 03:04. 

The Trumpito series is a collection of artworks that reinterprets the "Boss Tweed" caricature created by Thomas Nast in the late 1860s, symbolizing a corrupt politician. These pieces serve as a cathartic response to the deceptions and misinformation prevalent during Donald Trump's Presidency. Through humor, they depict the chaotic and polarizing events that unfolded, reflecting on the controversies and conflicts that marked that period in American history. One specific piece, "To Cover a Sun with a Finger," ironically highlights the mishandling, delays, pandemic response, and opposition to mask-wearing and vaccination efforts by the Trump administration during the COVID-19 crisis, which resulted in the loss of over 1000,000 lives in the US.
