President Donald Trump is not having it with one governor over a portrait of himself.
The president suggested a portrait of himself hung in the Colorado state Capitol was “purposefully distorted to a level that even I, perhaps, have never seen before.”
He labeled it “truly the worst” in a post on Truth Social over the weekend.
“In any event, I would much prefer not having a picture than having this one, but many people from Colorado have called and written to complain,” Trump said. “In fact, they are actually angry about it!”
Trump continued: “I am speaking on their behalf to the Radical Left Governor, Jared Polis, who is extremely weak on Crime, in particular with respect to Tren de Aragua, which practically took over Aurora (Don’t worry, we saved it!), to take it down. Jared should be ashamed of himself!

A spokesperson for Colorado Gov. Jared Polis (D) told The Hill: “Gov. Polis was surprised to learn the President of the United States is an aficionado of our Colorado State Capitol and its artwork. The State Capitol was completed in 1901, and features Rose Onyx and White Yule Marble mined in Colorado, and includes portraits of former Presidents and former governors. We appreciate the President and everyone’s interest in our capitol building and are always looking for any opportunity to improve our visitor experience.”
Trump also posted a few of his portraits to Truth Social:
