LOS ANGELES – A young artist who depicted Donald Trump in the buff with a less than flattering depiction of the newly “presumptive” Republican presidential nominee’s genital claims to have been violently assaulted by Trump supporters in Los Angeles.

24-year-old artist Illma Gore painted a portrait of Trump in February, called “Make America Great Again,” that immediately became a viral sensation.

The work “was created to evoke a reaction from its audience, good or bad, about the significance we place on our physical selves,” Gore wrote on her website at the time of the portrait’s release. 

The Trump painting featuring a minuscule penis has since earned bids around $150,000 and an exhibition in the Maddox Gallery in Mayfair, London.

“Simply put, you can be a massive prick, despite what is in your pants,” Gore said of her drawing:

Gore later said she received numerous threats from Trump supporters, including a phone call threatening legal action from someone claiming to be a member of Trump’s team.

Gore’s understanding of Trump supporters as essentially harmless changed last week, however. 

Last week, Gore was suddenly confronted by a violent, shirtless stranger in broad daylight. She was walking to an art supply store near La Cienega Boulevard, when a Trump supporter came up to her and  punched her in the face. 

“Today I was punched in the face by a man who got out of his car and yelled, ‘Trump 2016!’ in Los Angeles,” Gore wrote on Instagram, tagging the Republican candidate and urging him: “Make America Decent Again!”
