Former MLB player and famed Twitter user Jose Canseco appears to be always looking for ways to make money, from tell-all books to attempts to make a big-league comeback to financial analysis. That’s not surprising, considering that he said “I’ve got nothing left” in 2012. Now, it looks like Canseco’s entrepreneurship is taking a new route; selling his own paintings of “Donald Trump as a wise dragon.”

Well, we do know that Trump’s foundation has a fondness for buying paintings of him, so this might not be out of the question. A “wise dragon,” though? Which dragons are supposed to be particularly wise? Saint George’s dragon was leashed by a girdle, Fáfnir walked the same way to a stream every day, Smaug was fooled by a pint-sized hobbit burglar, Tiamat murdered her brother and was found out, and Drogon kept flying off to kill goats. Dragons tend to be big and fiery, but not necessarily that smart, unless we’re talking about a Pratchettian dragon that winds up ruling. The main resemblance to Trump might just be the fiery hair, though. And hey, Canseco might want to figure out to tweet at Trump rather than at @WhiteHouse; President Obama doesn’t move out until January.
