Colorado takes down Trump portrait after president bemoans it was 'purposefully distorted'

A portrait of President Donald Trump hanging in the Colorado state capitol will be removed after he complained it was "purposefully distorted."

Artist Sarah Boardman painted the portrait during the first Trump term, and it was unveiled in 2019, The Associated Press reported. The Colorado Republican Party raised more than $10,000 on GoFundMe to commission an oil painting of Trump for the Capitol.

Trump hated the painting, however, sounding off iin a Sunday night social media.

“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,” Trump wrote on TruthSocial.

He claimed that President Barack Obama's painting next to him looked "wonderful" while his did not.

By Monday afternoon, Colorado announced it would remove the painting.
