Donald Trump critics aimed ridicule at the president after he publicly demanded the removal of his portrait at Colorado’s state capitol building, calling it “truly the worst”.

In a post on his Truth Social platform on Sunday, Trump shared an image of the portrait and complained about the painting, saying it was bad and blaming it on Colorado’s governor, Jared Polis – whom the president insulted as being “radically left”.

A Republican admirer of Trump actually commissioned the portrait.

    First of all, Streisand effect. I’d never heard of this portrait but now I had to look it up.

    Second, it’s not great but it’s way better looking that his raggedy orange face. He should shut up and take the win.

    • Looks like shit, remove this portrait immediately!

    • The portrait is on the other wall, Mister President, that one is a mirror.

    Here I thought the portrait would be some grotesque caricature of trump. Imagine my surprise when its just a tasteful painting of an old man in a business suit. Is it possible trump doesn’t actually know he’s an 80 year old man, and looks like one?

    "…said that he requested for Trump’s portrait to be taken down and replaced by one “that depicts his contemporary likeness”.

    I agree, put up a sagging, blotchy faced, ranting troll.

    Trump has one insult in him now. Park too close to his car? Radical leftist! Too much salt on his steak? The cook is a radical leftist!
