Trump Gets His Own Portrait Removed

In yet another case of liberal bias making headlines, a portrait of President Donald J. Trump is finally being taken down from the Colorado State Capitol—after hanging there for nearly six years and sparking growing controversy.

The move follows a powerful statement from President Trump, who took to Truth Social to call out the portrait as “truly the worst,” accusing the artist of intentionally distorting his image.

“Nobody likes a bad picture or painting of themselves,” Trump posted. “But the one in Colorado, in the State Capitol … was purposefully distorted to a level that even I, perhaps, have never seen before.”

Liberal Agenda or Honest Mistake?

While some in the media tried to dismiss the painting as art, many conservative voters saw it for what it was: a disrespectful portrayal of America’s 45th President.

The portrait was painted by Sarah Boardman, now in her 70s, who previously created a much more flattering portrait of Barack Obama—a fact not lost on Trump or his supporters.

“She must have lost her talent as she got older,” Trump quipped, sparking widespread discussion online.

Grassroots Support Got the Portrait Hung—Now GOP Lawmakers Want It Removed

Ironically, it was conservative grassroots supporters who raised the $10,000 needed to commission the portrait back in 2018—after liberal donors refused to back it. The fundraiser, launched by then-State Senate President Kevin Grantham (R), met its goal in just 30 hours.

Grantham, now a county commissioner, continues to stand by the artist’s reputation but says he understands why Trump wants the portrait gone.

“If you don’t like how you’re portrayed, you shouldn’t have to see it on public display,” he told The Hill.

Democrats Mock Removal—But Conservatives Stand for Respect

Democrat leaders in Colorado couldn’t resist taking a swipe, telling the Associated Press that “if the GOP wants to spend time and money” on the portrait, “that’s up to them.”

But for millions of conservative Americans, this is about more than paint on canvas—it’s about respecting the office of the presidency and pushing back against mainstream media bias and left-wing institutions that continue to undermine Trump’s legacy.

“It’s not to honor any one man,” Grantham said. “It’s to honor the office. Leaving any president out would be a disservice to the people of Colorado.”
