Colorado lawmakers discovered that earlier this year when Trump griped that a portrait of himself that’s been hanging in the state capitol for nearly six years was “purposefully distorted.”
Although Sarah Boardman, the artist who painted the portrait, said she “completed the portrait accurately, without ‘purposeful distortion,’ political bias, or any attempt to caricature the subject, actual or implied,” her opinions were brushed aside.
The complaining apparently worked, because lawmakers quickly announced Boardman’s portrait would be removed and replaced with something more to the president’s liking.
The new portrait by Tempe, Arizona, artist Vanessa Horabuena was donated by the White House a month or so ago and was placed in the capitol this week.
The new portrait makes Trump resemble NBC Dateline’s Keith Morrison, while the old one made him resemble JD Vance (sans beard and alleged “guyliner”).
