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.
