Now it's the turn of Loretto, a south-London graffiti artist who previously painted an image of Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn dressed up as the Italian monk St Francis of Assisi.
Loretto put his signature on a mural unveiled on Great Marlborough Street, in the uber central Soho area, showing Donald Trump in a fragment of the famous "March of Progress" illustration.

As reported on the Art Ringblog, Loretto uses a Banksy-like graffiti style to make a satirical commentary on the socio-political situation of today.
"The undefined outlines and the detailed use of the colours create a recognisable style which diversifies from Banksy," the blog says.
"His satirical graffiti involve famous characters, current events and images often associated with sentences to reinforce the meaning of the message."
