Donald T Rich

Donald T Rich is a collectible Ron English × POPaganda figure combining a caricature of Donald Trump with the appearance of a wealthy child. Yellow hair, an enormous toothy grin, red bow tie and blue shorts create a satirical image of conspicuous wealth.

Political caricature in POPaganda’s visual language

Ron English reinterprets familiar advertising and popular-culture images, changing their meaning. In Donald T Rich, childlike proportions contrast with the character’s adult ambitions. The grin becomes the main accent: it both attracts attention and unsettles the familiar face.

According to the description of our example, a movable brain inside the head shifts when the figure is shaken. This construction detail continues the image’s irony. The main photograph also shows a card, while additional viewpoints reveal the figure from the front, rear and sides.
