The Picture of Dorian Gray is a novella by Oscar Wilde with a character who stays young while his portrait painting ages. I won't spoil the ending for you if you haven't read it.
The old portrait on the left was done by lady named Sarah Boardman. When Trump saw it, he said it was terrible and called her a lousy artist. This caused a hit to her business and she spoke out about his unnecessary cruelty. It had been up ot the Colorado State Capitol building for 6 years with no problem.
Here's Sarah Boardman:

Here's the painting by Sarah:
Sarah's painting.
Here's what I said Trump's portrait should be:
My suggestion.
And this is what Trump wanted:

I think my graphic choice was even better than what Trump made the new artist paint. Basically, she painted this official photo:
Official photo.
But his painting is still butt uglier. More wrinkles and orange, just something that would scare any child. Adults, too.
If this is Trump's taste in paintings, I hate to think of what this means for everything from the Smithsonian Portrait Gallery to The Kennedy Center.
The man is only a legend in his own mind.
