While I agree with you, in that there's not much behind your product, I have to say that this is simplicity at its finest. It looks really good and provides the audience with what it's meant to provide: humor. I actually think that this is hilarious. Trump Cena >.
I also agree with your reflection when you said maybe you could've added a little to the back end of this by placing Trump Cena in the setting of a political debate. Now that would've spoken numbers.
This project made me and my friend I showed it to laugh, which I appreciated. I do agree that placing Trump Cena in a setting Trump would be in now as a presidential candidate may have carried more meaning, but I also think that the current image you have give more direct humor and impact. As for the aspect of making a piece that would sell, I think certain people may be willing to pay for something with this image (like a poster or a birthday card), although many people would probably be confused.
I love the simple creativeness of this project. In short, it's just Trump's head on Cena's body, but sometimes its the simple things that stick. While both of them are quite recognizable, they are completely different in terms of lifestyle. I think something like this would do well by selling it as a shirt or similar product. Also, I think you did quite well with the Photoshop, posterizing the image was a great way to hide the inevitable seam that would show when placing Trump's head on Cena's shoulders!
This piece makes me think of both Trump and Cena as jokes in their respective fields and that's just what I'd expect from pop art. It's funny with a slight meaning to it, not to mention topical thanks to Trump's laughable run for presidency. I'd definitely buy this image on a mug or t-shirt.
