Former President Donald Trump is making his dissatisfaction clear regarding his portrait at the Colorado State Capitol.
He is now calling on Democratic Governor Jared Polis, whom he labels part of the “radical left,” to take down the artwork, which is displayed alongside portraits of other U.S. presidents.
Expressing his frustration on Truth Social, Trump remarked, “Nobody likes an unflattering picture or painting of themselves.”
A “Deliberate Distortion”
Trump has long emphasized the importance of being represented in a favorable light—he has even described himself as a “wonderful-looking man.” However, he is particularly unhappy with a portrait of him by artist Sarah Boardman that hangs in the Colorado State Capitol. He is urging Governor Polis to remove it, arguing that the painting was “purposefully distorted” to an extreme degree.
Trump also aimed Boardman, pointing out that she had previously painted former President Barack Obama and had done a good job.
