Donald Trump critics aimed ridicule at the president after he publicly demanded the removal of his portrait at Colorado’s state capitol building, calling it “truly the worst”.
In a post on his Truth Social platform on Sunday, Trump shared an image of the portrait and complained about the painting, saying it was bad and blaming it on Colorado’s governor, Jared Polis – whom the president insulted as being “radically left”.
A Republican admirer of Trump actually commissioned the portrait.
In two follow-up posts, Trump shared separate images of himself in an apparent attempt to distribute photos that he considered more flattering.
Despite Trump’s criticism of Polis for the painting, it was actually unveiled by a Republican group in 2019. A former Republican state senator had crowdfunded nearly $10,000 to commission the painting, according to Colorado news station

I'd say there's no accounting for taste, but he has none.

He’s not big on accounting, either.

And there's this favorite from the past. Glitzy. And an early version of sullen that he's repurposed in his current official photo portrait.

Looks like the artist was short on burnt orange.

Looks like a Botero. And he looks kind of like Elon Musk, too!

Well, perhaps Polis can ceremoniously light a bonfire in front of the capitol and toss the offending picture on as a sacrifice!
