Following President Trump's criticism of her portrait, artist Sarah Boardman expressed that his remarks have jeopardized her 41-year career. Boardman painted the portrait for the Colorado state Capitol, receiving positive feedback during its display. Trump labeled the artwork as a distortion and belittled her talent in a Truth Social post, which led to the portrait's removal. Boardman refuted any intent to misrepresent Trump and emphasized that his comments have put her livelihood at risk, questioning her artistic integrity and raising concerns about her future in the profession.
"Trump's comments called into question my intentions, integrity, and abilities. I created the rendering without political bias or intention to distort or caricature the president."
"Trump's words are now directly and negatively impacting my business of over 41 years which now is in danger of not recovering."
