“As democracy is perfected, the office of president represents, more and more closely, the inner soul of the people.

Welcome to the wonderful world of fan films:
One wonders if Jia Tolentino has visited OverthinkingIt.com - they covered this exact topic in January 2016:
Does former White House photographer Pete Souza count? The standard response whenever he posts one of his photos of Barack Obama on his Instagram feed is “Uh oh, what’s Donald Trump done now?”

Backpfeifengesicht (German): A face in need of a punch.
Installation not included.
