About the Book
30 years ago, Nike aired a clever television commercial designed to look like an opera by Mozart and starred basketball great Charles Barkley in the leading role.
I photographed it directly from the TV and it was from these pictures that I composed the mixed media collages that appear in this book, and from them, the story of love, disappointment, and consolation that followed.

About the Creator
Jonathan Franklin
Oak Park, IL
As an artist for over forty odd years, my biggest gig so far has been as the official White House Portraitist. During the past two years, I have had the privilege of painting our DearLeader over a couple dozen times looking his authoritarian best in all kinds of remarkable settings. And now, after much anticipation, I have finally assembled those paintings into a 48 page full-color book that includes personal commentaries, as well. It has been truly an inspiration to be so close and present with the man with the golden touch, who in every sense of the phrase, is Making America Great Again.
