Donald Trump has called for a portrait of himself to be taken down from the Colorado state capitol, lashing out at the artist for “truly the worst” attempt to capture his features.
“Nobody likes a bad picture or painting of themselves,” the president wrote, but the Colorado portrait was “purposely distorted to a level that even I, perhaps, have never seen before”.
The painting depicts the president with a “serious, thoughtful, non-confontational” expression, Sarah Boardman, the British artist, said after it was commissioned in 2018.
