Trump Portrait to Be Removed from Colorado Capitol Following His Criticism

The decision comes after Trump denounced the artwork as 'intentionally distorted' and accused Colorado's Democratic governor of political bias.

Donald Trump criticized a portrait of himself displayed in the Colorado State Capitol, calling it 'intentionally distorted' compared to Barack Obama's 'wonderful' depiction by the same artist.
The portrait, commissioned in 2019 through a $10,000 Republican-led crowdfunding campaign, has been part of the Capitol's Presidential Gallery.
Trump claimed many Coloradans were 'really angry' about the painting and announced plans to discuss its removal with Governor Jared Polis, whom he labeled a 'radical leftist.'
Following Trump's complaints, the Democratic caucus in Colorado confirmed that the portrait would be removed at the request of the Republican Party.
Artist Sarah Boardman defended her work as apolitical, while Governor Polis's office expressed surprise at Trump's sudden interest in the Capitol's artwork.
