Never before have we uttered the words “Donald Trump’s penis”. But unfortunately, that time has come, with the news that the Los Angeles-based artist Illma Gore is facing a wave of opprobrium after posting a pencil drawing of the frontrunner for the Republican presidential nomination on Facebook. The sketch shows a naked Trump with a minuscule member (the businessman’s supposedly small hands, and what that might indicate, have been discussed during the campaign). The social-media giant told Gore that she was violating community standards for nudity and blocked her from accessing her profile, while eBay barred the artist from selling the piece three times, saying that it was unhappy with the depiction of Donald’s ding-dong (both companies declined to comment). Meanwhile, Trump has apparently threatened legal action. “Illma plans on fighting the charges for the sake of her art,” her spokeswoman says.
Small hands, big… controversy
