President Trump has publicly criticized an unflattering portrait of himself at the Colorado State Capitol, demanding its removal by Governor Jared Polis. The portrait, painted by Sarah Boardman and unveiled in 2019, features Trump in a dark suit, which he claims misrepresents him. In a post on Truth Social, Trump noted that many Coloradans have reached out to express their dissatisfaction with the painting. He also attacked Polis, describing him as week on crime. Boardman, who created this portrait and previously painted Obama, aimed for her work to be apolitical, a point that seems overshadowed by Trump's remarks.

He also used the opportunity to criticize Governor Jared Polis, referring to him as 'extremely weak on Crime,' demonstrating his ongoing political tensions.
The artist Sarah Boardman, whom Trump criticized, previously stated her intention to keep her paintings apolitical, yet Trump’s comments reflect a personal grievance.
