New Jim Carrey Painting of Trump Savages Trump's Latest Claim That Even a 'Fence' on the Southern Border Would Count as a Wall

Accurate.

President Donald Trump seemed to move the goal posts for what would be acceptable for his "border wall" this week.

Speaking in the Oval Office, he said:


"I can't tell you when the government is going to reopen. [Not until] we have a wall, a fence, whatever they'd like to call it. I'll call it whatever they want. But it's all the same thing. It's a barrier from people pouring into our country."

Fence, eh?

Trump's diversion from his insistence on a "wall" was not lost on Jim Carrey, who created one of his now famous anti-Trump paintings, slamming him for changing the terminology of what he would accept as a barrier at the border.

As Carrey tweeted:

"Remember Trump’s loyal zombies chanting, 'Build That Fence' at his rallies??? Me neither!" the actor wrote.

Reactions to Carrey's painting were mixed.

There were those who liked it:

And those who signaled their support for the president and urged the actor, who received U.S. citizenship in 2004, to return to his native Canada.

This is far from the first time Carrey has made headlines for using his art to criticize the president. The actor recently opened an art show titled "IndigNation" at the Maccarone Gallery in Los Angeles which features 108 pen-and-ink drawings from his Twitter feed from 2016-2018.

Carrey has referred to the president's base as "zombies" before.

He also once depicted Special Counsel Robert Mueller putting the proverbial "squeeze" on the president:

And earlier this year submitted his contribution of the official portrait of Trump to the National Portrait Gallery.

Last month, Carrey said his own management team warned him that talking about politics on social media could alienate his audience.

“It was interesting, because when I first starting playing on Twitter like everyone else, I got in trouble because I was honest,” Carrey said during a Vulture festival panel.

The actor stressed that he doesn't mind if he loses fans who happen to support the president:

"A terrible thing to be on Twitter! It was a little scary, and I became an activist when it comes to this political stuff. There was a lot of pressure on me from my management going like, 'don’t mess this up, you got it going good and people love you, when you talk about politics and other issues, you’re going to lose half of your audience.' And I said, ‘lose them.’ "

The president, meanwhile, has implied that the government shutdown will likely continue into January and blamed Democrats "will cost our Country more money than the Border Wall we are all talking about."

Yesterday, the president generated controversy after he claimed, without offering any evidence, that “most of the people not getting paid” during the current government shutdown are Democrats.
