About the Work 

There's a moment when DJT holds up a bible for a photo shoot and is asked, "Is that your Bible?" He answers "It's a Bible," and that about says it all for DJT. Freedman was influenced by all those wonderful Picasso clowns from his rose period and King Lear’s fool who speaks truth to power. Or maybe it’s the king wearing the coxcomb.
