In a post on Truth Social Trump blasted the portrait, saying, “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.”

President Trump criticized a portrait of himself by Colorado Springs artist Sarah Boardman, which has been hanging in the Colorado Capitol for nearly six years, and demanded its removal.
