President Donald Trump said that Colorado Governor Jared Police “must be ashamed of himself” because he hung a “purposeful distorted” presidential portrait in the state of Capitol building.
Colorado Republicans raised more than $ 10,000 to commission the portrait by artist Sarah Boardman, which was unveiled in 2019 during the first term of the president.
In a late-night observation, Trump, Trump, pointed to policy, a Democrat, and Broadman, who he said lost her touch after making a ‘wonderful’ in a commission in front of former President Barack Obama.
“Nobody likes a bad picture or painting of themselves, but the one in Colorado, in the state of Capitol, erected by the governor, along with all other presidents, was deliberately distorted to a level I may have never seen before,” Trump began on Sunday night.
“The artist also did President Obama, and he looks wonderful, but the one on me is truly the worst. She should have lost her talent when she got older. ‘
Along with his own calls to remove the painting, Trump claimed that the furious natives of Colorado complained about the portrait and that the civil servants urged it to pull it off.
The president currently seized to take a whip to policy and his policy, citing members of Venezuelan gang Tren de Aragua, who had a presence in Aurora, Colorado last year.
“I speak on their behalf with the radical left -wing governor, Jared Police, who is extremely weak with crime, especially with regard to Tren de Aragua, who took over Aurora practically (don’t worry, we saved it!) To take it off,” he continued. “Jared must be ashamed!”
A spokesman for the Governor’s Office thanked the president for his interest in the state of Capitol and his artworks.
“Governor policy was surprised to learn that the president of the United States is a lover of our Colorado State Capitol and his works of art,” they said The hill. “We appreciate the president and everyone’s interest in our Capitol building and are always looking for any opportunity to improve our visitor experience.”
However, policy was not behind the painting that was commissioned in 2018, months before he held office.
Earlier that year, a political activist came into the state of Capitol with the help of an adviser to an adviser to the Democratic House Speaker of Colorado, Crisanta Duran.
A large painting by Russian President Vladimir Putin was erected where Trump’s portrait was intended to hang.
This came after Republicans, according to reports, could not raise the money needed to use the photo of Trump.
After the stunt, Kevin Grantham, a Republican who served as president of the Colorado Senate, collected more than $ 10,000 through GoFundMe for the portrait.
After Boardman unveiled the picture of Trump in August 2019, Boardman predicted that her work would endure.
“In five, 10, 15, 20 years, he will be another president on the wall that is only a historical background and he must look neutral,” she told Colorado Public Radio at the time.
In a separate interview with the Colorado Times reporter, the artist said she did not allow her personal politics to influence her work.
“When I start painting a portrait, it’s the portrait, appearance and ‘essence’ of the topic I want to portray,” she said. “Any personal feelings on any topic are not relevant and are left out of the studio according to my education to” let the emotions at the door. “
This is not the first blunt assessment that Trump delivered over a portrait of himself.
In a moment of self -reduction, while sitting in a courtroom in New York in December 2023, Trump made a shocking remark to one artist hired by news organizations to capture the interior of the not allowed.
“It looks like I should lose some weight,” Trump told the artist as he bore his neck, they said The independent.
