Trump Turns Heads After Asking To Remove This ‘Distorted’ Portrait Of Him From State Capitol

President Donald Trump is once again making headlines, this time for calling out a portrait of himself hanging in the Colorado State Capitol’s Gallery of Presidents. The painting, which was unveiled nearly six years ago, has drawn the ire of the 45th president, who says it’s so unflattering that he wants it taken down immediately.

In a fiery Truth Social post, Trump didn’t hold back, writing:

“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.”

The artwork, created by Sarah Boardman, also includes a portrait of former President Barack Obama, which Trump claimed was handled far more favorably.

“The artist also did President Obama, and he looks wonderful, but the one on me is truly the worst. She must have lost her talent as she got older,” Trump wrote.

Trump: “Many People from Colorado Are Angry!”

Trump insisted that the people of Colorado have been reaching out to him, expressing outrage over the portrait’s depiction.

“In any event, I would much prefer not having a picture than having this one, but many people from Colorado have called and written to complain. In fact, they are actually angry about it!”

But Trump didn’t stop there—he took aim at Colorado’s Democratic Governor Jared Polis, who he accused of being “extremely weak on crime.” He specifically mentioned the Venezuelan gang Tren de Aragua, claiming it “practically took over Aurora” until his administration stepped in.

“I am speaking on their behalf to the Radical Left Governor, Jared Polis, who is extremely weak on Crime… to take it down. Jared should be ashamed of himself!”

Social Media Reacts to Trump’s Complaint

As expected, Trump’s post went viral, sparking debate across Truth Social and X (formerly Twitter). Some users agreed with him, saying the portrait was unfairly done, while others mocked his strong reaction to a painting.

A few pointed out that they didn’t see much wrong with the portrait. One person even joked, “Not enough orange?”—a reference to Trump’s often-ridiculed tan.

Others took a more serious stance, suggesting that a former president should have bigger concerns than his artistic representation. One user sarcastically wrote, “The president is laser-focused on the big issues.”

What’s Next for the Portrait?

At this point, there’s no indication that Colorado officials plan to remove the portrait, despite Trump’s demands. But one thing is clear—whether it’s a painting or politics, Trump knows how to make headlines.
