You were sort of warned that this would contain a painting of Trump.
You should play this while reading:
Carly Simon - You're So Vain (YouTube)
Donald Trump found out about a portrait of him hung at the Colorado State Capitol that makes him look like the piece of sh*t that he is.
It, of course, is a conspiracy to make him look bad.
"... was purposely distorted to a level that even I, perhaps, have never seen before."
He just can't deal with it. But now he's made it a major news story of the day. Immediate coverage all over.
President Obama looks great, but he looks the worst. Should be a lot more orange to be realistic. Another shot of the painting does that.
Maybe it was a flash the made it look different.
"She must have lost her talent as she got older." She got wiser, however.
The artist is Sarah Boardman. British. Lives in Colorado Springs.
Sarah Boardman and the crime.
"In any event, I would prefer not having a picture than having this one..."
Oh, common, Donnie, you love having rotten pictures of you everywhere. You've got your ugly Geogia mugshot along with your ugly official portrait photo on the walls of the White House, how is this any different?
"Many people from Colorado called to complain."
No, Donald. They were calling to laugh at you. That's what you can't abide.
"I him speaking on their behalf to the Radical Left Governor Jared Polis..."
You just can't stand that it was a trial court in Colorado that found you guilty of insurrection for January 6th. You also can't stand that they wanted to take you off of the presidential ballot, and you were only saved by your Supreme Court. So, the whole state must be radical. I sure hope so.
Then, he has to discredit Governor Polis by calling him weak on crime. I think you'd find that there's much less crime in Colorado than in Florida. People in Colorado are happy. The people in Florida would rather you get on an ocean liner and never come back.
Poor Aurora, Colorado. They just don't get any respect.
I just realized how long that sentence was and how convoluted.
"Jared should be ashamed of himself!"
You must be talking about Jared Kushner. He's not in your administration this time, thank goodness. He'd be just taking more bribes from Saudi Arabia than he already has. You're waiting for your big one.
Jared probably doesn't have any involvement in either the painting or its placement. It's automatic in Colorado, and the artist had already done previous ones.
What's funny is I can't find a portrait for him for his first time in office. It's like they never did one. I'm sure that pissed him off, too. Trump just has all kinds of reasons to hate Colorado. Not just the portrait.
Here's another shot with perhaps more realistic lighting.
Yes, he does look really ugly. But that's sort of what shows when you've got an ugly soul.
Here's the one that actually should be hanging in the Colorado Capitol.
Much more realistic in my view.
Donald once again has created a controversy where none existed. This might be in the news cycle for days.
Thank you Colorado for pissing him off!
