As it turns out, you can't just paint a picture of Donald Trump with a micropenis without facing insane consequences.
Illma Gore, 24, claims she was assaulted near her home in Los Angeles by an angry Trump supporter who supposedly was aware that she was the artist behind the viral painting of the possible Republican Presidential nominee with a very tiny penis. She wrote about the alleged attack in a post on her Instagram, alongside of a picture that shows bruises on her left eye.
"Today I was punched in the face by a man who got out of his car and yelled, 'Trump 2016!' in Los Angeles, just days after I returned home from London just down the road from my house," she wrote. "This type of violence makes creatives feel like we live in a world where our individual creative input isn't safe. I am sad that this is the state of our America right now... Make America Decent Again!"
As the Guardian reports, Gore's now-infamous painting is on display in London because "galleries in the US refused to host the piece due to security concerns following threats of violence from Trump's supporters." She was also threatened with a lawsuit if she decided to sell the painting, "due to its resemblance to the Republican presidential hopeful." Gore had attempted selling the painting on eBay earlier this year.
Gore also faced problems for her painting of Trump and his tiny dick on Facebook earlier this year. She was repeatedly and then indefinitely kicked off of Facebook for continuing to post the Trump painting on the site, seemingly because of a violation against Facebook's terms of service, which disallow users to post "pornographic" material.
But the alleged assault from an angered Trump supporter is definitely the worst thing that's happened as a result of her painting thus far. And according to Gore's confessional Instagram caption, the guy who did it hasn't yet been caught.
