Trump is not happy with this picture…
President Donald Trump took to TRUTH Social this week to criticize a portrait of himself hanging in the Colorado State House; he called it “truly the worst.”
Trump blasted artist Sarah A. Boardman and Governor Jared Polis in his TRUTH post.
Trump blasted the painting on TRUTH Social:
Nobody likes a bad picture or painting of themselves, but the one in Colorado, in the State Capitol, put up by the Governor, along with all other Presidents, was purposefully distorted to a level that even I, perhaps, have never seen before. The artist also did President Obama, and he looks wonderful, but the one on me is truly the worst. She must have lost her talent as she got older. In any event, I would much prefer not having a picture than having this one, but many people from Colorado have called and written to complain. In fact, they are actually angry about it! I am speaking on their behalf to the Radical Left Governor, Jared Polis, who is extremely weak on Crime, in particular with respect to Tren de Aragua, which practically took over Aurora (Don’t worry, we saved it!), to take it down. Jared should be ashamed of himself!
The portrait was first unveiled in 2019, according to Colorado Public Radio.
“My portrait of President Trump has been called thoughtful, non-confrontational, not angry, not happy, not tweeting,” Boardman said at the unveiling. “In five, 10, 15, 20 years, he will be another president on the wall who is only historical background and he needs to look neutral.”
Trump followed up his TRUTH post with several more displaying portraits of himself he would prefer.
