When Los Angeles-based Australian artist Illma Gore's nude drawing poking fun at Donald Trump's 'manhood' went viral, she became the target of violent threats.

The artwork, titled 'Make America Great Again' after Trump's election slogan, has provoked controversy by portraying the Republican frontrunner naked, with a less-than-impressively-sized penis. It's currently on display in a gallery in the UK, after being censored in the US and threatened with being damaged by Trump supporters.

Those same supporters who threatened to damage Gore's artwork have also threatened her with physical violence.
