Obama's portrait artist just became the latest target in the Trump administration's art crackdown. Kehinde Wiley's painting was removed from the U.S. embassy in the Dominican Republic and dramatized in a video set to "We're Not Gonna Take It." Officials called it "very woke" and "aesthetically terrifying." The government is now looking to sell the piece entirely. This isn't an isolated move. It follows censorship at the Smithsonian, mocking plaques added to presidential portraits, and threats to demolish the Kennedy Center. Art is becoming another front in this fight.
