TAPPER: Welcome back. Pablo Picasso once said, "Art is a lie that makes us realize the truth." And that's the subject of this week's "State of the Cartoonion."</s>TAPPER (voice-over): The new performance art piece in Washington D.C. Ivanka vacuuming shows the first daughter cleaning up crumbs. The piece irked the real Ivanka who tweeted, "Women can choose to knock each other down or build each other up. I choose the latter," but it got us wondering what other political figures might make high art. Edvard Munch "The Scream" could help former chief of staff John Kelly work out his rage. Or a master work to highlight the president's signature style may greet famous bowler hat with Jared Kushner. Perhaps American gothic might inspire Democrats to get their message out more successfully to voters in the Hartland.</s>UNIDENTIFIED MALE: He doesn't seem able to dig himself out of the hole.</s>TAPPER: A rendition of Rodin's "The Thinker" might be appropriate for Beto O'Rourke as he ponders and ponders and ponders a potential 2020 bid.</s>REP. BETO O'ROURKE (D), TEXAS: I have been thinking about running for president.</s>TAPPER: Picasso's "The Old Guitarist" from his blue period could serve as a model for Joe Biden who if elected would be the oldest president ever.</s>JOE BIDEN, FORMER VICE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES: Am I still in good shape? Do I have all my faculties? Am I energetic?</s>TAPPER: And then there is that master work, the president might feel like he can't escape the gaze of the Mueller Lisa.</s>TAPPER: "FAREED ZAKARIA" is next. Stay with us.
