A London-based street artist has reached a new low in producing a controversial painting of Donald Trump.

‘Endless’ has used his own excrement for a portrait of the American president, in a nod at the US leader’s comments on immigrants from “s***hole countries”.

He says that the artwork has been created as a “gift from the UK people” for the president’s proposed visit to the country in October of this year and is hoping to deliver the frankly potty artwork to the President himself.

In the painting, the outline of Trump’s head is painted in black paint mixed with the artist’s faecal matter.

The artwork also contains repeated use of the words “s*** hole”, a term allegedly used by President Trump to describe Haiti and certain African nations during a meeting on immigration.

"I wanted to make sure the feelings of the British people towards Trump were immortalised in the most accurate way possible, which is why I decided to make the artwork using my own s***, created from eating his favourite food, McDonald's, for two weeks straight," Endless said.

President Trump's visit to the UK is expected to be met with a large-scale protest, with over 80,000 people showing interest in participating via a Facebook event. Here's hoping we've got the dirty protest out of our system.

The portrait follows an offering made by the Guggenheim Museum to the president of a loaned solid gold toilet in place of the Van Gogh painting requested by the White House.
