Whoa.

Jim Carrey's disgust with President Donald Trump's administration has yielded some scathing artwork in the past, and it doesn't look like he intends to let up.

His latest work invokes William Golding's novel Lord of the Flies for his latest critique of the Trump administration.


The painting is captioned "How Much Poison Are You Willing to Swallow?!" and shows Trump wearing a "Make Me God" hat and clutching a microphone. In front of him are stalwart Trump allies Senator Lindsey Graham (R-) and Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) pouring Kool-Aid down the throats of his supporters—reminiscent of the mass suicide of Jim Jones followers in Jonestown. His backdrop is the American and Russian flags separated by a gold "T."

He also christens Donald Trump with an all-too-fitting nickname: the new king of lies.

Fans felt the work was an accurate depiction.

Carrey is no stranger to political commentary. He's painted several other cutting odes to Donald Trump, and hasn't been particularly kind to Attorney General William Barr, either, calling him "Most crooked AG ever – Barr none!"

"I'm a creative," Carrey said in December. "And I can't not paint and I can't not create. It has to go some someplace, and I can't sit behind a desk, and I can't glad-hand people all the time, and I can't be dishonest."

His supporters are here for it.

No matter what the reaction, Carrey's art is here to stay. "It’s just exploding," he said. "I don't know where it’s going. You don't know which tributaries are actually going to cut a groove, you know, [but] you do it."

James Talarico Epically Blasts Trump And Senate Opponent Over What It Means To Be A 'Real Man'

Texas Senate candidate James Talarico criticized his opponent in November's election, Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton, as well as President Donald Trump in a speech about what it means to be a "real man" after facing regular attacks on his masculinity.

Trump has described Talarico as “a weird—a weird—candidate,” a line that was quickly incorporated into an advertisement from Paxton, who argued that that Talarico is unfit to represent Texans partly because of his supposed veganism. Members of the right-wing have followed suit and described Talarico as an “effeminate, estrogenetic, catty, and totally embarrassing” candidate.

Jennifer Aniston And Lisa Kudrow's Idea For A 'Friends' Spinoff Is Going Viral For All The Wrong Reasons

For decades, critics have argued that Friends benefited from a television landscape that often overlooked Black-led sitcoms telling similar stories. So when Jennifer Aniston and Lisa Kudrow recently floated the idea of a Friends spinoff called Girlfriends, many viewers saw it as yet another example of Black television history being left out of the conversation.

During Variety's Actors on Actors, Aniston and Kudrow discussed what a potential Friends revival could look like more than 20 years after the sitcom ended its original run.
