President Donald Trump is once again making headlines, this time for calling out a portrait of himself hanging in the Colorado State Capitol’s Gallery of Presidents. The painting, which was unveiled nearly six years ago, has drawn the ire of the 45th president, who says it’s so unflattering that he wants it taken down immediately.

In a fiery Truth Social post, Trump didn’t hold back, writing:
"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."
The artwork, created by Sarah Boardman, also includes a portrait of former President Barack Obama, which Trump claimed was handled far more favorably.
"The artist also did President Obama, and he looks wonderful, but the one on me is truly the worst. She must have lost her talent as she got older," Trump wrote.
