In a shocking turn of events, former President Donald Trump has once again taken to social media to express his displeasure, this time over a rather innocuous piece of art: his own portrait at the Colorado state capitol. In what can only be described as a masterclass in artistic critique, Trump deemed the portrayal "truly the worst," sparking debates across the political spectrum about the merits of avant-garde portraiture and the ethics of painting a man who prefers his likeness captured in shades of orange and sheer bravado. "In the spirit of art appreciation, it’s evident that this is not an artistic rendition but rather a hatchet job,” Trump proclaimed on his Truth Social platform, alongside a carefully curated image of his own grimacing countenance, reminiscent of a man who just bit into a particularly sour lemon. His disdain didn’t stop there, as he further directed his ire toward Colorado's governor, Jared Polis, whom he scathingly labeled as “the biggest mistake since tie-dye shirts.” The striking nature of the painting, which allegedly captured Trump's likeness with startling realism, left many asking what he expected—perhaps a glorified cartoon version or, better yet, a handsome balloon animal version of himself? The portrait featured an expression that seemed to encapsulate the essence of a man who just realized his favorite fast-food chain ran out of ketchup. Even some Republicans were quick to chime in on Trump’s latest tantrum, with one unnamed congressman suggesting that “if the worst thing to happen to you is an unflattering portrait, you’re doing okay.” Another party member noted, “We’ve had policy debates, government shutdowns, and now…. portrait critiques? Is he fishing for sympathy with a bucket of paint?” In honor of artistic freedom, local artist and Trump enthusiast, Chuck “Brush Guy” Henderson, has started a GoFundMe to commission a new portrait of Trump, complete with sparkles and a golden background—because why not? “Why not capture the true essence of Trump? I’m thinking diamonds and an exotic animal might give it the flair it needs,” he said, brandishing a paintbrush like a political sword. As for the fate of the original portrait, insiders report that artwork’s secular existence could teeter on a fine line between "history" and "hilarity." For now, state representatives remain cautious, weighing the merits of removing the painting as dictated by the man himself or sticking to their belief in freedom of artistic expression, however much it may hurt the ego of a former leader. In the meantime, art critics across the nation are expected to review the portrait, with some already suggesting that it could indeed belong to the high art realm known as "Post-Trumpism," where absurdity meets realism in a clash as old as time itself. Will Colorado’s capitol be able to withstand the strokes of public opinion, or are we in for more colorful comments from the former president? Only time will tell, and likely, many more social media posts from Trump.
