Work Summary & Collector Notes
'Trump! Peace Fucker!!' is a 2018 giclee by Jamie Reid, offered here as the Signed Edition of 50 at 66 x 61 cm. It was published on the occasion of Trump's announcement that the US would withdraw from the INF nuclear arms treaty with Russia, an act experts warned risked the gravest arms-control crisis since the 1980s.

Why It Matters
The print fuses Reid's 'Peace Is Tough' lineage with a specific geopolitical flashpoint, making it a dated document of the 2018 nuclear-treaty crisis. The signed edition of 50 is the more limited tier. It shows Reid extending his anti-war stance to American power, turning a foreign-policy moment into visceral graphic protest.
Collector Perspective
The signed edition of 50 is scarcer than the pop edition and carries the artist's hand. Its topical anchor to the INF withdrawal gives it documentary as well as artistic value. Collectors should confirm the signed tier, verify numbering, and note the large format for framing.
Historical Context
The Intermediate-Range Nuclear Forces Treaty, signed in 1987, was a landmark of Cold War de-escalation. Trump's 2018 signal of withdrawal, formalised in 2019, revived arms-race fears. Reid's response places his pacifist tradition against a live nuclear threat, in the confrontational register of his punk graphics.
