New Trump-Approved Portrait Going up at Colorado Capitol After President Complained About the Original

  • Former state Sen. Lois Court unilaterally replaced the original Trump portrait with a White House-donated painting at the Colorado State Capitol on Thursday.
  • The replacement followed Trump’s March complaints on Truth Social that the original 2019 portrait painted by Sarah Boardman was 'purposefully distorted' and 'truly the worst.'
  • The new portrait by Vanessa Horabuena from Tempe, Arizona, closely resembles Trump's official second-term photograph and will hang temporarily in the Capitol's third-floor rotunda.
  • Boardman stated in April that Trump’s accusations have directly and negatively impacted her 41-year-old art business, now at risk of not recovering, while the Capitol Advisory Committee plans a thorough September review of all presidential portraits.
  • Colorado’s legislative leaders have decided to exhibit the recently received portrait of President Trump on a provisional basis as they consider how to handle the Capitol’s presidential portrait collection moving forward.
