Trump Slams Portrait as 'Distorted'
A presidential portrait of Donald Trump is set to be taken down from a US state capitol following criticism from the former president himself. Trump denounced the artwork, claiming it was deliberately distorted and questioning the artist's skill as she aged.
Republican Lawmakers Request Removal
Amid the uproar, Republican lawmakers have requested the removal of the portrait. Senate Republicans stated that the decision aligns with tradition, citing President Grover Cleveland's single portrait from his second term as precedent.
Portrait to Be Stored in Museum
The controversial portrait will be relocated to the History Colorado museum in Denver. The move has sparked mixed reactions among visitors to the Colorado State Capitol, with some commenting on Trump's appearance in the painting.
Artist Defends Neutral Depiction
The artist behind the portrait, Sarah Boardman, defended her work, emphasizing the need for a neutral portrayal of the president. Boardman stated that her goal was to create a non-confrontational and historical representation of Trump.
Trump's Reaction and Future Portraits
Trump criticized Boardman's talent and took aim at Colorado governor Jared Polis in a social media outburst. It remains unclear whether another portrait of Trump will be commissioned in the future.
