Former President Donald Trump is calling on Colorado to take immediate action—demanding the removal of what he calls a “purposefully distorted” and insulting portrait hanging in the Colorado State Capitol.
The image, which depicts Trump in a less-than-flattering light, has sparked outrage among conservatives, patriots, and everyday Americans who see it as another example of left-wing bias and disrespect for our 45th president.
Trump Speaks Out: “This Painting Is an Insult to the People of Colorado”
In a passionate post on Truth Social, President Trump didn’t hold back:
“No one likes a bad photo or painting, but the one in Colorado—put up with approval from the Governor—is beyond anything I’ve seen before,” he wrote. “It’s a disgrace. The artist also painted President Obama, and his came out great. But mine? It’s like she lost her skill—or maybe her integrity.”
Trump made it clear: he would rather not be represented at all than be portrayed in such an unrecognizable and demeaning way.

Coloradans Are Furious—and They’re Demanding Action
According to Trump, concerned citizens across Colorado have been flooding the Capitol with calls, emails, and letters urging state officials to remove the controversial painting.
“I’m speaking for the people,” Trump said. “And I’m calling out Radical Left Governor Jared Polis, who’s failed Colorado on so many levels—especially when it comes to crime.”
Crime Surge: Governor Polis Under Fire for Gang Crisis in Aurora
Trump didn’t stop at the portrait. He slammed Polis for being “weak on crime,” specifically pointing to the rise of Tren de Aragua, a violent gang with ties to Venezuela.
Last year, the gang reportedly took over an apartment complex in Aurora, Colorado. Alarming video footage showed armed men patrolling the building. Shortly after, a shooting occurred.
“Don’t worry,” Trump said. “We saved it. We used the Alien Enemies Act to deport nearly 300 gang members across the country.”
This bold move to restore law and order stands in stark contrast to Democrat inaction—and showcases Trump’s commitment to American safety.
Left-Wing Stunts: The Putin Portrait Scandal
This isn’t the first time Colorado Democrats have tried to humiliate President Trump.
Back in 2018, a Democrat aide snuck a political activist into the Capitol and hung a portrait of Vladimir Putin in the space where Trump’s image was supposed to go. At the time, Republican lawmakers were still raising funds for the official portrait.
The stunt drew criticism nationwide and highlighted the deep disrespect many leftist politicians have for conservatives and their values.
Polis Responds with Tone-Deaf Statement
Instead of addressing the issue, a spokesperson for Governor Polis released a dismissive comment to The Hill:
“Governor Polis was taken aback to discover that the President has such a keen interest in the artwork displayed at our State Capitol.”
The statement goes on to describe marble materials and historic architecture—while completely ignoring the clear public outcry over the painting.
Trump Supporters Want Accountability
As President Trump continues to dominate in polls and lead the charge against the D.C. swamp, many Americans are demanding answers:
- Why is Colorado’s leadership allowing this insult to stand?
- Why is a sitting president being mocked in a government building paid for by taxpayers?
- And when will leaders like Jared Polis be held accountable for putting radical politics over public safety?
