Artist who painted nude Donald Trump painting worth $1m says she has been threatened with legal action

The Artist who painted a nude Donald Trump
worth $1m says she has been threatened with
legal action if the painting is sold. The nude
Donald Trump painting which shows the
'imaginary' Trump with a small penis went on sale
last month at the Maddox gallery in Mayfair and
was named "Make America Great Again" by artist
Illma Gore.
The painting went viral after she posted it on her
facebook page. The Los Angeles-based artist now
says she has received a phone call from an
anonymous number threatening legal action if the
painting was sold.
"They claimed to be from Trump's team,"
she told the Independent. "I drew Trump
nude, I was evoking a reaction from
people... so I tried not to think about it
until I spoke to a lawyer who suggested I
go to the police about it and file a report
in case something happens," she said.
