Trump portrait to be removed at Colorado Capitol after president’s criticism
An oil painting of Donald Trump, installed in the Colorado Capitol since 2019, will be removed after Trump criticized it, calling it 'purposefully distorted' and 'truly the worst.'
Trump voiced his dissatisfaction on Truth Social, where he expressed that many from Colorado shared his views about the painting.
The removal request was made by Republican State Senate Minority Leader Paul Lundeen and was formalized by the legislature's bipartisan executive committee.
Artist Sarah Boardman defended her work, aiming for a neutral representation, while acknowledging that presidential portraits often face opposition.
US President Donald Trump got his way when he demanded that his portrait be removed from the Colorado State Capitol in Denver because he didn't like it. The painting went to a museum and Republicans are already raising money for a new one.
Donald Trump let his portrait in the Capitol hang out out of dissatisfaction, and his counterpart Vladimir Putin, of all people, is now delivering replacements.
