That AI picture Trump posted of himself with Dolly Parton just proves that even in death, he forces himself on women who told him no.

Memento Mori by Welder Wings

That braided hair is rendered with real classical precision, every strand catching light like a 17th century portrait. Then it just splits open into a skull, framed in gold like the mirror it's replacing. Welder Wings builds this the same way old vanitas painters did, beauty and decay sharing one canvas, except here the transition happens right in front of you instead of sitting off to the side as a symbol.
