President Trump has demanded that Colorado remove a “deliberately distorted” painting of him from the Capitol, claiming it’s a waste of state funds.
Trump claims the painting is intentionally misrepresented him and says it’s not worth the cost, adding, “No one likes bad paintings or paintings of himself, but some folks in Colorado have similar feelings. I’m talking to Jared, who is a governor-established state capitol, and all the other presidents.”
Trump also expressed his disapproval of the artist’s work, saying, “She must have lost her talent as she got older. I’m really the worst.” He has criticized the painting and has called for it to be removed, asserting that “many Coloradans have contacted the state to change or remove it.”
Trump also referenced a incident in Aurora, Colorado, where a Venezuelan gang, Tren de Aragua, took over an apartment, and he claimed to have helped the US authorities deport nearly 300 suspected members.
A previous incident details the story of how a Republican House Speaker’s aide smuggled a portrait of Russian President Vladimir Putin into the Colorado Capitol, which was reported by News 9.
At the end, I reached out to President Trump’s office for a statement.
