An artist who supports Trump dismantles his backing for the Republican candidate in just 31 seconds.
An artist from New York, Scott LoBaido, believes that Donald Trump could potentially save you someday.
At a New York campaign rally, a Staten Island artist painted a portrait of former President Trump in just over 3 minutes. Following the performance, the artist gave a 31-second pitch to critics of the Republican candidate.
Scott LoBaido, a 59-year-old artist, stated that it was an honor to showcase his work at Nassau Veterans Memorial Coliseum in support of the "greatest president since George Washington."
He acknowledged criticism for his conservative views from the art world and responded with a counterpoint.
"Your house is on fire, your kids are upstairs, flames are coming out the back, and you're screaming out the window. The firefighter across the street is a hero, but you don't like his hair, his tweets, or his tan. Do you care about his appearance or what he says online?"
He remarked, "I believe that's what people should consider."

While feeling alienated by the mainstream art community, LoBaido hopes to attract Trump critics through his work, which includes paintings of American flags and political activism.
LoBaido stated that he specifically wants to connect with those on the opposite side who dislike Donald Trump, individuals who hate him for the most irrational reasons.
On Wednesday, Trump held his first rally since the weekend's failed assassination attempt in Nassau County, a predominantly Republican area near New York City.
An unnamed Secret Service agent who fired on an armed man near Trump at a Florida golf course was praised by Trump, and he vowed to be the first GOP presidential candidate to win New York in decades, prompting a cheer from the crowd of about 18,000.
