The Trump team has never had a very solid relationship with the entertainment world. Through his policy moves seemingly undercutting the position of the underprivileged in many respects — like his efforts to end DACA — the president and his allies have earned few admirers in Hollywood.

One of those who have seemingly had enough with the president and his cronies is actor Jim Carrey. Carrey has, recently, taken up painting, and it’s now become a trend for him to create depictions of various Trump administration officials in unflattering tones and share them with the world.

The actor’s latest biting depiction of a Trump administration official is a painting he posted an image of to his Twitter account this past weekend, meant to represent White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders.

The image — which you can see below — depicts Sanders with her mouth open while seeming not exactly pleased with whomever exactly she’s speaking to at the moment.

Carrey captioned his creation by writing:

‘This is the portrait of a so-called Christian whose only purpose in life is to lie for the wicked. Monstrous!’

Sanders has certainly lied on behalf of the president a large number of times at this point, having taken over as press secretary after the resignation of the sometimes almost comically ridiculous Sean Spicer. Spicer kicked off his inept tenure with the now infamous, outlandish assertion that Donald Trump’s inauguration had the largest crowd in history when it most certainly did not.

Among Sanders’ own recent efforts to contort the truth is her recent defense of the president making up that we have a trade deficit with Canada. We actually have a trade surplus with our northern neighbor; Sanders made the president’s comments line up with a version of reality by saying she and the president were only taking about trade in goods when saying we have a deficit with Canada. (Having a trade deficit with a country means we import more than we export; while the opposite is true for the case of a trade surplus.)

Sanders is often tasked with making belligerent comments from the president line up with reality.

She’s hardly the only Trump administration official to have a questionable relationship with the truth and be seemingly unable to acknowledge misstatements just like she’s not the only one to be lambasted by Carrey via painting.

Infamously, for instance, longtime Trump adviser Kellyanne Conway once claimed that there are such things as “alternative facts,” immediately drawing widespread ridicule.

The president himself lies over and over again in his tweets and other public statements, sometimes seeming to literally just make stuff up. He’s been documented to have lied thousands of times at this point.

As for Carrey’s paintings, he’s gone after officials from Florida’s GOP U.S. Senator Marco Rubio to the president himself. Although the president hasn’t specifically and publicly gone after Jim Carrey, he has made his distaste with political satire well known in the past. He’s gone so far as to assert that Saturday Night Live should be taken off the air in the wake of an unflattering depiction of him.

Carrey has earned his fair share of detractors with his political commentary delivered via painting, including Sanders’ father, former Arkansas Governor Mike Huckabee.

Huckabee unleashed on the actor, calling him a ‘Pathetic BULLY, sexist, hater, bigot & “Christaphobe”‘ in an angry tweet.
