How do you feel about Trump portrait drama in Colorado capitol?

[Cubus]

President Donald Trump disparaged a portrait of himself hanging in the Colorado Capitol as “purposefully distorted” and called on the state’s Gov. Jared Polis to take it down.

“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,” Trump wrote to his social media platform Truth Social.

He acknowledged that the artist, Sarah Boardman, had also painted a portrait of former President Barack Obama, which he said looks “wonderful,” calling his “truly the worst.”

The portrait was already taken down by Colorado Building Advisory Committee.

Not worth fussing about, but it is a bad portrait. They EASILY could have done better, if they wanted a better portrait.

Hs right though the portrait is really bad, they could have done a better jobs 😹😹

[Cubus]

Do you believe it was done on purpose?

[alice55]

Hard to say it could be or maybe he's just not a very painter? I think it was done on purpose because generally painter are more leftist than right but we can't be sure

[Cubus]

I've seen the Obama portrait. And I agree with Trump that it looks pretty damn good.

[alice55]

No wonder Trump was angry, yes the painter definitely did it on purpose the difference is striking XD

It's pathetic! There are far more pressing issues than his face looking fat in a portrait. He's such a narcissist

Democrats are petty beyond belief. They are shit people, truly.
