Trump Continues to Lie About His Fake Renoir
One of the lies President Trump likes to tell is that his
Renoir is real, but it turns out that might not be the case.

Since 1933, Pierre-August Renoir’s painting, “Two Sisters (On the Terrace)” has hung in the Art Institute of Chicago, which has owned the portrait all this time. But is it a fake? Or did Renoir paint more than one version? In Donald Trump’s mystifying mind, one of these scenarios is true. Along with giving to charity, drawing large crowds, and having a lot of great plans, Trump has reportedly also bragged about owning the original “Two Sisters (On the Terrace).” And like many of his boasts, it’s one he seems to like to bring up whenever he gets the chance.
