President Donald Trump's devoted MAGA loyalists aren't shy about trying to get his image into as many places as possible, from silver Trump coins to proposing that his image be added to Mt. Rushmore alongside famous images of Presidents Abraham Lincoln, Theodore Roosevelt, George Washington and Thomas Jefferson.
The U.S. Department of the Interior announced that America the Beautiful passes for national parks would include a Trump image. But according to SFGate report Sam Mauhay-Moore, Colorado-based watercolor artist Jenny McCarty found a way to cover Trump's face on the passes.
In an article published on December 14, Mauhay-Moore reports that McCarthy announced she is "selling stickers that cover up the controversial and allegedly illegal new designs on the front of the passes, which include Trump's face next to a painted rendering of George Washington."
"McCarty's stickers are adorned with her own artwork of landscapes and animals at various parks," Mauhay-Moore explains. "One features a pika standing at the famous Rock Cut overlook in Rocky Mountain National Park with an alpine flower in its mouth; another shows a wolf howling on the banks of the Snake River with the Teton Range looming in the background; the third is of a grizzly bear looking out over a vast expanse in Denali National Park and Preserve."
According to Mauhay-Moore, more than 100 orders for the stickers were placed during a two-day period — which McCarty wasn't expecting.
McCarty told SFGate, "I'm definitely surprised, and we're a small business. So it is going to be a lot of volunteer hours dedicated to packaging everybody’s order, but it's all for a good cause…. So worst-case scenario, you could remove your parks pass and show that it hasn't been altered in any way, but it covers up the image that people maybe don’t want to see."
