[Image Description: An image of performance artist Martha Wilson impersonating Donald Trump complete with makeup, wig, blue suit, white shirt, black belt, and red tie. She gives the thumbs up, in front of a statue, presumably one that is a part of a court house. The lower half of the statue is visible with a robe draped over the figure's right leg with a sword resting on both knees. Below the statue and engraved in the stone is the word “FORCE.” Framing the image is a royal blue and red border.]
