Former President Donald Trump has lashed out at the Colorado State Capitol for what he claims is a "purposefully distorted" portrait of himself. In a Truth Social post, the 78-year-old blamed Democratic Governor Jared Polis, demanding the artwork be removed. However, the portrait was actually funded by Republican state senator Kevin Grantham in 2019 through a crowdfunding campaign.

Trump also criticized the artist, Sarah Boardman, who previously painted Barack Obama's portrait at the Capitol, saying that his own painting was "the worst" and suggesting she "lost her talent" over time.

The controversy has reignited political tensions, with some calling the portrait an accurate representation and others questioning the fairness of its depiction. While Trump's supporters demand changes, Governor Polis remains uninvolved in the matter. The portrait remains on display, but the debate around it is far from over.
