A portrait of Donald Trump, which he branded “truly the worst”, will be taken down, officials have said.
The US president claimed the portrait by British artist Sarah Boardman, which was hanging in Colorado’s State Capitol, was “purposefully distorted”.
Posting on his social media platform Truth Social, he said: “Nobody likes a bad picture or painting of themselves, but the one in Colorado, in the State Capitol, put up by the Governor, along with all other Presidents, was purposefully distorted to a level that even I, perhaps, have never seen before.”
He said a portrait by the same artist of former US president Barack Obama was “wonderful” but “the one on me is truly the worst”.
