The floral frame’s gentleness sharpens the piece’s political sting: a dollar’s emblem floats above text exposing a president seeking $230 million in taxpayer funds for investigations into his own conduct. The curled bill hints at self-dealing, turning the frame into a chamber of circular power—an image of governance collapsing into personal reimbursement, where public money loops back to the figure under scrutiny. The Great Seal’s all-seeing pyramid becomes a symbol of warped authority, its promise of national stewardship distorted by the spectacle of a leader attempting to funnel public funds back to himself.
