On a recent evening at Mar-a-Lago, Donald Trump’s sprawling private club in Palm Beach, Florida, a crowd gathered for an event dedicated to Scott LoBaido, an artist known for his American flag-themed works and, lately, his hagiographic portraits of Trump. Guests hung out near the pool noshing on lamb lollipops, shrimp risotto, kebabs, quesadillas and sliders, and drinking top-shelf liquor. Then they made their way to the grand ballroom, where some of LoBaido’s flattering depictions of Trump were hung, for a screening of The Relentless Patriot, a documentary about the artist’s life and work.
