During the 45th presidency of the United States of America, chaos, crises, and catastrophes characterized the administration. In this book, Sarah Schneiderman uses her artwork to analyze the tumultuous four years of Trump’s presidency.

Poignant text about the subject matter accompanies Sarah’s visually disturbing portraits of political figures. The sometimes fractured nature of the images and the use of ordinary trash reveals the turmoil, crashing, and burning of the 45th presidency. From the start, the rapid turnover of significant staff and unfilled positions destabilized governmental norms. Sarah’s portraits, comprised of recycled materials and garbage, portray the cult of personalities with the most mediocre materials possible, attempting to disentangle reality from delusion. The ordinary materials and the accompanying text point to the lack of qualifications of many of 45’s appointments. Sarah neither glorifies the personnel by depicting them in regal mediums such as oils or bronze castings nor exalted descriptions. She informs the viewer that there is nothing extraordinary about the subject. Instead, that subject is mundane and average at best. For those exceptional people fired by the president for standing up to him, her medium — everyday trash — also describes the treatment of the subjects — relegation to the garbage heap.
