Summary
Artist Sarah Boardman said her 41-year art career is at risk after Donald Trump accused her of distorting his likeness in a 2019 portrait displayed in the Colorado State Capitol.
Trump called for its removal in a March 23 Truth Social post, prompting Republican lawmakers to have it taken down the next day.
Boardman denied political bias and said the portrait was pre-approved. She reported a sharp decline in business and backlash, though her family and supporters defended her online.
Boardman had also painted Barack Obama and George W. Bush.
I know. I don’t get the problem wih it, it looks fine to me. If anything it humanized him a bit, it looks a bit softer than his official portrait…
… oh wait, now I get it. Dude must be so insecure in his manhood that he rejects anything that he thinks makes him look soft.
It’s hideous and inaccurate by not being hideous enough, let’s not beat around the bush.
He’s like Poppin’ Fresh. Newly made dough is harder than he is.
