I see a man that is infected throughout his body and head. Showing the rotten on the inside also. The fly's around him remind me of his little intellects the follow all the dumb decision he make. They are flys so the are attached to trash.

i agree with this person because Trump inside and out is a rotten person no matter what he says to make himself seem good he will always be in his heart and mind and everyone else heart and mind Trump is a Dictator and that's all he will ever be seen as

G. Calderon Batista 2A

1/12/2023 05:54:11 pm

I completely agree with this statement no matter what he says or does he will always be seen as an ugly person by many people.

Ja'Miracle T

1/12/2023 07:59:08 pm

I agree with this person because, the Trump he let us see seems like the bad Trump. But then again we also don't know him personally to say that he's not a kind hearted person we only know the bad side of him. Which is probably why in the picture he's covered with trash flies & ect.

Janelle Melgar 6B link

1/9/2023 06:19:29 pm

I agree. This man is nothing but rude and rotten to everyone. I also like the way you compared his supporters to the flies. It's true flies are attracted to pieces of crap so it only makes sense, especially since in the photo is he literally covered is crap.

Zariya B. 1A

1/10/2023 12:04:22 pm

I agree with this he is a disgusting person, he is like a meal worm he just feeds off everything, and wants everything.

ireuna 6B

1/11/2023 09:11:44 am

i agree but you have to understand that deep down he aint rude or rotten you can't judge somebody you never seen in real life

Giles A 2A

1/13/2023 07:13:49 pm

I agree because based on what we have all seen there is nothing positive about this man and that he acts as his true self.

Keyuante S 2A

1/10/2023 09:24:34 am

exactly what I said its showing how horrible a president and person he is

A. Tindle 7B

1/11/2023 08:58:45 am

I agree with your comment because, Trump is someone who many dislike, and the picture is showing a image protraying someone being rotton. Most people see bugs as disgusting and rotten things.

Joseph Ballard 1a

1/11/2023 03:50:37 pm

I agree I see a man is rotten and gives off a evil vibe also appears to be a snake with the tongue of one that could represent a snake in a human body

J Castillo 3A

1/13/2023 11:44:05 am

I agree, the insects and flies can represent how people still follow the dumb decisions

C Jeffers

1/9/2023 03:27:46 pm

In this picture, I see a man who is so into power that he comes off as a literal shit head, the worms and roaches represent how he is always creeping in the corners and crawling around in each and every corner with his lies. The scent that comes off him is so futile that his followers breathe it all in and come closer to him, just like flys with each and every word that comes out his mouth. He says he wants to make America great again, but just like this picture everything he says is a bunch of garbage.

A. Green 3a

1/10/2023 02:51:33 pm

I love the way this is worded and the imagery it brings up. The idea of him creeping and crawling everywhere gives me the ick.

Ja'Miracle T.

1/12/2023 08:11:31 pm

I agree with this a 100% every detail is pointed out. I love how this is worded and went into detail.

Victoria Taylor 6b

1/13/2023 09:10:04 am

i agree, i love the way you worded everything. It describes the picture in a way people could understand on a deeper level.

J Castillo 3A

1/13/2023 11:45:24 am

I agree, the things he says of making America better and everything is garbage

Saniyah Joubert 7B

1/13/2023 12:17:37 pm

I agree the fly's are also smaller so it could also mean small minded people following him and garbage ideas

Giles A 2A

1/13/2023 07:15:47 pm

I agree with you because no matter how you try to word anything he is still the same exact person he was before. The picture describes how he acts toward anyone.

K Jacinto 6B

1/13/2023 10:34:00 pm

I agree with you, he is just putting himself somewhere we’re he just keeps going down and down.

Alexia Ruiz 1A

1/9/2023 03:40:07 pm

I think this photo is saying Donald Trump is a rude idiot. Instead of skin and hair you see bugs and poop replacing things in the picture, and i think the placement for it was intentional. Where his brain would be there are worms and on his head instead of hair there is poop, both can be inspired by the sayings "worm for brains" and "Shithead". Worm for brains means someone is super dumb because they were born with worms instead of a brain and shithead just means hes rude and has no consideration for anyones feelings.

Janelle Melgar 6B link

1/9/2023 06:16:42 pm

I completely agree with you. The connections you make, make complete sense. Because he is rude and makes the dumbest decisions ever.

J Martinez 3A

1/10/2023 09:29:06 am

I somehwat agree you made good inferences .

Bralin Wilkinson 6B

1/11/2023 12:19:42 pm

I agree with how you said the purpose of him being replaced by bugs and other things was intentional.

R Arpero 7B

1/13/2023 12:18:29 pm

I agree that they replaced his brain with worms because they are trying to show how wrong he thinks.

Saniyah Joubert 7B

1/13/2023 12:19:26 pm

I agree with the worm for brain and the shit head part, those are symbols i didn't take into persective.

C Jeffers

1/13/2023 03:09:56 pm

i agree cause it make a lot of sense of how the spittin image of a dude is full of weird stuff

F Maltos 3A

1/13/2023 09:03:29 pm

I agree with you because this image does not show a regular person with hair and skin in fact it shows insects and poop which represents how Donald trump thought like a horrible president.

K Jacinto 6B

1/13/2023 10:36:09 pm

I agree, the poop on his head just tells how rude and how much of an idiot he is.

Morgan Johnson 5B

1/13/2023 11:10:16 pm

I agree, there are many meanings behind the choices of images for this image. It describes him well and how he is thought to be by some people.

Janelle Melgar 6B link

1/9/2023 06:14:21 pm

To me this image is showing how much of a crappy guy Donald Trump is. The poop and bugs are showing his true color and his really is. He is a crappy man that makes crappy decisions. Basically saying he's full of crap. He doesn't have a brain, he head is just filled with terrible and awful things which is like what those bugs represent all around him.

Keyuante S 2A

1/10/2023 09:25:27 am

Yes all the bugs are all of his supporters he have in the world and how dumb they are cause their insects

C. Torres 1A

1/10/2023 10:42:50 am

I agree because it shows that he is a shithead and has worms for brains.

A. Green 3a

1/10/2023 02:50:31 pm

I agree with the fact that he is a bad person who makes bad decisions. I like the idea of the bugs representing his awful thoughts.

A. Tindle 7b

1/11/2023 08:59:59 am

I agree with the thought about he dosent have a brain and thats why they put worms and bugs for his brain.

G. Calderon Batista 2A

1/12/2023 05:55:39 pm

Yes, I agree with this statement & i like the way you worded it.

E. Adame 2A

1/12/2023 06:50:02 pm

I agree with you on this because the decisions and things he said were not the best things to say. He has a bad image which is described from this photo with all of the trashy things.

Victoria Taylor 6b

1/13/2023 09:15:52 am

I agree, you made good inferences and about who he is and thats what alot of people would think as well.

K Stern 5B

1/13/2023 10:10:57 am

I agree. He's an awful person and the artist who made this image is clearly showing that through the art piece.

RobertoArpero 7B

1/13/2023 12:19:13 pm

I agree because it shows his negative thoughts and actions.

F Maltos 3A

1/13/2023 09:07:20 pm

I agree with you because of how his brain is full of insects and poop and that just shows how he thought about terrible things as a president.

Morgan Johnson 5B

1/13/2023 11:05:18 pm

I agree, this piece shows how he sucks. His choices and decisions lead to chaos over the years and he didn't really think things through.

Keyuante S 2A

1/10/2023 09:23:34 am

In this image I see Donald trump as a man that's sick infected and crappy all around. The bugs and insects are showing his true colors throughout his face and body. The placement for the worms is correct for all the dumb decisions he made as president. The flies are the sick ignorant people that support him and flies are attracted to nasty things so what that make them.

C. Torres 1A

1/10/2023 10:41:52 am

I agree because it seems like he has worms fro brains

Zariya B. 1A

1/10/2023 12:06:09 pm

I agree he is just a bad person overall, and the bugs, and insects, and animals he is covered in describe the kind of person he is.

J. Hernandez 5B

1/13/2023 09:35:50 am

I agree Trump is bad person who is very wealthy.

Bralin Wilkinson

1/11/2023 12:18:26 pm

I agree, he is a really crappy guy

beatriz zumaya 1a

1/12/2023 12:46:42 pm

i agree because he did do some pretty dumb decisions while president and although most people did not like trump he did still have followers (flies).

J Martinez 3a

1/10/2023 09:26:44 am

in this image i think its saying that all the worms in his head like telling him things to say but the worms could simply mean other people . But also i think this image is showing thats hes a guy whos full of bull and evil. And also it could mean like hes dead inside because all the bugs and other things around him so maybe its saying people dont understand his views and and feels dead .

S Griffin 3a link

1/11/2023 02:18:57 pm

I agree, this picture does show that he looks evil just by him being covered in worms, flies, and cockroaches.

m santos 7b

1/13/2023 09:05:37 am

I agree that the bugs and trashy around him may be interperated as he is "dying" and so is his belief that he manipulated others to think are dying as well. You could also think that all the trash that forms him could also mean that in the beginning he was really full of lies and trashy ideals.

J. Hernandez 5B

1/13/2023 09:39:21 am

I agree trump says some crazy things, but everyone is entitled to their own opinion.

C. Torres 1A

1/10/2023 10:38:43 am

The image above shows a man more specifically Donald Trump and how rotten to the core he is. The artist shows this by illustrating common cliches for awful people like giving him shit for hair ¨ shit head ¨. And giving him worms in his head ¨ worms for brains ¨. Not to mention the flies he attracts represent the people who follow him.

A. Green 3A

1/10/2023 02:48:57 pm

This is showing someone who is nasty on the inside and out. It makes me think of how your behavior really represents you as a person. The flies are a nice touch to it because it represents that some things and people will follow nasty wherever it may lead them.

Makyia Lyons 5B link

1/11/2023 08:50:36 am

The image shows Donald Trump with bugs and worms all over him. He has all these nasty creatures around him because it is showing how nasty a person he really is.

A. Tindle 7B

1/11/2023 09:02:12 am

I think this picture is to protray Trump as a disgusting person, which to me he is. They cover him with bugs, and give him poop as hair. These things to most people would be disgusting, so thats why they cover him with all these things.

S Griffin 3a link

1/11/2023 02:16:10 pm

I agree this image is showing how people think of Donald trump, by putting bugs and poop on him.

Nox (Katelyn) Sears

1/12/2023 12:50:56 am

This photo shows how a lot of people view Trump as a human being. My brother supports Trump and I never understood why. He was such a cruel man. A terrible person that shouldn't be allowed to ever walk in such presence. America needs better people not people like him.

beatriz zumaya 1a

1/12/2023 12:42:26 pm

I agree with this because Trump is a disgusting person and im sure there is a good amount of people that also think the same. And them making this just shows what they see him as.

K Stern 5B

1/13/2023 10:09:04 am

I agree. He really is an awful person and the artist portrays him as such.

M. Contreras 6B

1/13/2023 11:18:04 pm

The way he is made up of rats, doodoo, and worms depict how the artist wants to portray Trump. I agree with how you say it's disgusting because it is. Clearly the artist wants to make you feel this way and see the person in the image accordingly to how they feel.

ireuna 6B

1/11/2023 09:13:13 am

i agree with everything everyone said i dont think he that bad of a person yeah he dont play blacks in we went through hell because of him but i dont think his a bad person

Geoffrey Ojeh

1/11/2023 09:32:31 pm

Yes, all the bugs are his supporters, and given that they are insects, they are incredibly stupid.

Leonardo

1/11/2023 10:57:22 am

By looking at this picture, I can already tell what the deep meaning of it is. Seeing as how it appears to be worms forming Trump, this could be a representation of all the terrible things he's done. It's unbelievable for how much lengths he'd go just to satisfy himself. All for his own personal gain that is. So really, this picture is supposed to symbolize how bad of a person Trump is to society.

Nox (Katelyn) Sears

1/12/2023 12:48:37 am

Trump was a terrible person. I agree. With everything he's done. With the capital and stealing documents. Shows what type of person he really is.

Desiree Ware 3A

1/12/2023 09:24:04 am

Yes every picture has a deep meaning behind it and this clearly shows a visual of how he is considering the rotten things he has done to and rude comments he has made.

E. Thompson-Smith 3A

1/13/2023 10:38:31 am

Yes I also agree he has made some very rude comments and this picture depicts him well

M Contreras 6B

1/13/2023 11:06:53 pm

I definitely understand the message you are trying to send for the image. And I would have to agree with your statement. You contribute to the fact that it has symbolism and a deeper meaning.

Bralin Wilkinson 6B

1/11/2023 12:17:28 pm

To me this image's meaning is how Donald Trump can appear to be and act deranged. This is shown by the bugs, worms, feces, and other things that are typically associated with what people think of as "nasty" and revolting. This also shows how Donald Trump is not very liked by many people and how his actions have created a sort of label for himself.

S Griffin 3a link

1/11/2023 02:14:32 pm

In this picture, I see a man who seems like he's powerful. Even though he has poop on top of his head, the worms and roaches represent how he is always crawling around in each and every corner. The bugs make him look evil, his head is just filled with terrible things that no one might not understand.

Makyia Lyons 5B link

1/13/2023 08:43:32 am

I agree with you, I think bugs represent how nasty and evil Donald Trump really is.

Joseph Ballard 1a

1/11/2023 03:53:30 pm

I think the picture demonstrates that the president donald trump has hidden evil intentions that are evil rotten dirty sense I see flys around him

Desiree Ware 3A

1/12/2023 09:22:25 am

Yes, I agree the picture visually shows him rotten on the inside, including the flies swarming around him.

Geoffrey Ojeh B6

1/11/2023 09:28:05 pm

I agree that the image I used to inform viewers that Trump is a poor president and person, but I did so in an oblique manner.

Nox (Katelyn) Sears 2A

1/12/2023 12:47:20 am

I see a man that is rotten to the core. Filled with disgusting words and thoughts. An evil man. Not only is it Donald Trump a man with power in his head and a selfish mindset. A terrible man with terrible decisions.

jazmin rangel

1/12/2023 09:25:33 am

I agree that he is rotten inside and is filled with disgusting thoughts all he does is disrespect women

Desiree Ware 3A

1/12/2023 09:21:05 am

I see a man that appears to have nothing but pure evil intentions and is rotten on the inside. We all know this man is Donald Trump which use to be our former president. I truly think this picture represents a visual of how society sees Donald Trump, just because of all the racist comments he has made and etc.

jazmin rangel

1/12/2023 09:24:40 am

i agree hes never had positive intentions sense he became president th world crumbled when he became our president.

E. Thompson-Smith 3A

1/12/2023 01:13:44 pm

I also agree this is how most people see him because of all the racist and belligerent comments he has made.

E. Adame 2A

1/12/2023 06:27:47 pm

I agree with you because a lot of people do not agree with trump or the decisions he makes. I think this shows how corrupt he was by making a picture of him with bugs, trash and making him look rotten.

Jazmin Rangel

1/12/2023 09:23:35 am

I believe that the image is telling us that trump is nothing but trash and has done nothing good for the us he is so disrespectful and has no good intetnions.

beatriz zumaya 1a

1/12/2023 12:37:22 pm

Well its obviously Donald Trump, but drawn with bugs and other things... This might be someones perception of him to them. This is the type of drawing you can smell just by looking at it.

E.Thompson-Smith 3a

1/12/2023 01:11:16 pm

I see a man who is infested mentally. Whoever drew this picture obviously feels some type of way toward him and feels he is infested mentally. Many of th things he says towards races and people can also give you that perception.

G. Calderon Batista 2A

1/12/2023 06:00:33 pm

Most people dislike Donald trump for many reasons such as him having racist remarks or things he has done. He is a power hungry person that wont stop until he gets what he wants. The bugs & crap in this image represents all the ugliness on the inside & outside of him.

E. Adame 2A

1/12/2023 06:24:01 pm

I think this picture could interpret trump to be a bad/trash type of person. You can tell with the poop for his hair, all the worms and flies, most likely symbolizing he does not use his brain for the smartest options. I know lots of people do not agree with trump or the choices he makes which could be why the photo looks so trashy and nasty.

m santos 7b

1/13/2023 09:01:03 am

You could also see that by the way them placed the flies around him saying that he was disgusting. This photo really got his essence of being a disgusting trashy person who has no purpose and deserves to be treated like the trash he is.

Ja'Miracle T

1/12/2023 08:08:39 pm

i personally feel that Trump is a good person deep down inside but maybe he has no choice but to be so mean since so many people are coming towards him with negativity.

Makyia Lyons link

1/13/2023 08:41:54 am

In this picture, I see Donald Trump with worms,bugs and other nasty stuff all over him. It shows how he is a disgusting person , an evil person.

m.Santos 7B

1/13/2023 08:58:17 am

This picture is just his self portait of who he really is. His personality is really portrayed in the flies,shit, and worms that are covering him. This flies are the people he has influenced to make them eat of his palm, because that's how he even manipulated them to agree with his chaotic ideals.

K cousins

1/13/2023 06:30:00 pm

I agree with this person because he manipulated people to agree with him he tells them lies and they believe him like they just don't understand.

Victoria Taylor 6b

1/13/2023 09:17:37 am

I see a man who is cruel and has made bad decisions. It shows how people view him.

J. Hernandez

1/13/2023 09:31:43 am

A person can act a certain way on the outside, but you don't know what or how they feel on the inside.

K Stern 5B

1/13/2023 10:07:18 am

I see a picture depicting Trump as a rotten person. I feel like even though he puts up a front on the outside like he's a good person, his actions show how he truly is on the inside.

D Costilla 5B

1/13/2023 11:56:57 pm

Absolutely, I also see how he puts up a good person act on the outside. A good person doesn't make poor decisions like he has made. For example, how this one time he was going to get seated next to a person, and he thought they were Mexican, and he refused to sit next to that person. Such actions as he does, shows how immature and how disgusting he is as an overall person.

keira depippo

1/17/2023 10:48:04 am

i agree with you because he is such a horrible person and doesnt care about anybody but himself hes a manipulator and a liar and thinks nobody can see through him

J Castillo 3A

1/13/2023 11:42:41 am

In the image, what I think its trying to show or tells us about Donald Trump is that he is full of trash and insects inside him, representing everything he is on what he does and says, this could be how others see him, the insects and flies can show the people how some are supporting him even tho he is full of crap, meaning even tho you have all the hate in the world there are people who still support crappy people.

K cousins

1/13/2023 06:25:24 pm

I agree with this person because I see what they is trying to say he not a very good person and some people seem to not see the real him.

keira depippo

1/17/2023 10:47:06 am

i agree becasue donald trump is a very sick man and is very messed up and sick in the head and doesnt support anybody who doesnt support him

C Valdez 3A

1/13/2023 11:51:08 am

I see a grotesque portrait of Donald Trump and how he's portrayed as a disgusting and vile person. The portrait shows Donald Trump made up of bugs, waste, and frogs, and overall things seen in a disgusting way and I think it's because the artist wanted us to see what kind of person he thinks trump is. Donald Trump is seen as a horrible person and a bad president too many people and the artist showed it in this portrait.

R Arpero 7B

1/13/2023 12:17:04 pm

In this image I see the personalities and decisions that former president Donald Trump makes.This image just explains what a major amount of people think and feel about this man.

C Jeffers

1/13/2023 03:13:24 pm

it look like to me who ever made that really must dislike that dude but it really dont look right to me it look like donald but with a bunch of werid stuff that descibes someone opinion of that dude.

K Cousins 6B

1/13/2023 06:22:10 pm

I see a man shows the connection between what he thinks and the direction his life takes. All the nasty and disgusting things he thinks of
and he is just full of BS. It's showing his true self getting to the point that he just infected something wrong with him.

Giles A 2A

1/13/2023 07:19:19 pm

In this picture I see a man who is described and seen like what the photo is. He is someone who is invested with the dirtiest and nastiest things. Also keeping what he stands for. In the picture it shows how he acts and who he is on the inside. After Donald Trump became our president we all found out the dirty deals and bribes he has done.

Fanny Maltos 3A

1/13/2023 08:59:05 pm

I think what this image means is that how Donald Trump thought like a horrible person. You can see the insects inside of him and that could mean that from the inside he was a bad president and had horrible choices. This can show how many people view Donald Trump since he was not a good president.

D Costilla 5B

1/13/2023 11:47:48 pm

In my opinion, I also believe Donald Trump was a bad person. Mainly because of all the racism, and selfish decisions he made as a person. Such as building a wall, and separating many families from each other. Overall you're right, he did make horrible choices.

To me this picture means the literal picture of Donald Trump. Of how he is a poop heads to other people that aren’t his supporters. Also how the people who support him are as dumb as the flies as presented. Also the worms on his brain mean he doesn’t think about what he decides to do.

He is made out of things that are considered gross and disgusting. He is a vile and weird man to ever come about. He is tainted with the thought of power being in his hand and heart that it's clouded his mind.

To me this image is showing how decaying and rotten Donald Trump is on the inside. Mainly with his poor decision making he constantly makes. Overall it shows how truly rotten he is as a person. Someone selfish and full of narcissism.
