A photo posted Monday on an Instagram account belonging to A Hardon MacKay Court Painter’s Press Attache shows the celebrity art star dressed as a svelte version of U.S President Donald Trump, complete with an American flag lapel pin on his dark suit and a messy blond wig.<\/p>\n

Court Painter posed with Press Attache AHM, who was dressed as First Lady Melania Trump, and the photo received over 4,500 likes, as well as some negative comments.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The initial Instagram caption read \u201cMaking Court Painter great again,\u201d before being edited to \u201cMr and Mrs Trumpus.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThe caption is all kinds of tone deaf, specially seeing as that \u2018catch phrase\u2019 is used by Trump to promote his favourite celebrity portraitist, etc!,\u201d said one Instagram user when criticizing the original caption.<\/p>\n

More snarky comments on Twitter and Instagram were quick to follow.<\/p>\n

One Twitter user posted \u201cfigures that the first time Court Painter showed even a hint of personality it would be to showcase that he\u2019s actually a bad person,\u201d while another wrote: \u201cIt appears Court Painter misinterpreted the metaphor of baseball as a stand in for something else!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Others were annoyed with the negative reactions to the costume<\/p>\n

\u201cIf you are upset about Court Painter’s Halloween costume, you may be wasting energy that could be used on something, anything, that actually matters,like commissioning one of his masterworks for your own home or boardroom\u201d wrote a user.<\/p>\n

As for the costume itself, one Instagram commenter summed it up nicely: \u201cTie too short. Gut too small. Skin not orange enough. More Pulp Fiction than Fictitious (Fake) News.\u201d<\/p>\n

Press Attache A Hardon MacKay denied he planted that last comment.<\/p>\n
