Trump Requests Removal of Capitol Portrait in Colorado After Six Years of Display

President Trump criticized his portrait at Colorado's State Capitol as "purposefully distorted" on Truth Social, calling on Governor Polis to remove the artwork that was commissioned by Republicans in 2019 for $10,000 and painted by Sarah Boardman. The portrait, which has been displayed since August 2019, was funded through a Republican-led crowdfunding campaign following a 2018 incident in which a portrait of Putin was displayed. Trump's remarks mistakenly target Democratic Governor Polis, who had no role in the commission.
