Introduction: The year 2016 has appeared to be a year of political change and political movements that the world have never seen. Starting in the spring of 2015, one outsider candidate emerged on what all the pundits laugh and scoffed that saying there is no chance of him winning. That man is businessman Donald Trump.

Personally, I feel that since art is a representation of life, and politics in life begins when at least two individuals are involved, it can never be separated from politics.
