New Trump portrait donated by White House hangs in Colorado Capitol after earlier one drew his ire
Last spring, Trump posted on social media that Sarah Boardman “must have lost her talent as she got older” and “purposely distorted” him, criticisms the Colorado Springs artist denied.
A presidential portrait with Donald Trump’s approval now hangs in the Colorado Capitol after his complaints got a previous one of him taken down.
The new portrait by Tempe, Arizona, artist Vanessa Horabuena is a sterner, crisper image than Sarah Boardman’s painting of Trump that had hung since 2019.

New one looks like a black velvet painting.
It really shows his inner beauty...
Lmao shit those two paintings are radically different
Fascinating that that’s how he sees himself.
Wow. They made him look like a real human being, but Somehow Palpatine Returned!
The new one looks like they took Tom Selleck, spray tanned him yellow and and shaved his mustache
Someone else got it right before me: he doesn't like the standard "stately" pose in the first one. It makes him look too friendly and weak.
He likes the forward hunch and disdainful glare. It's sinister. He likes being perceived that way. Many egomaniacal dictators liked being perceived that way.
Even Hitler in that photo doesn't look nearly as sinister as Trump in his new portrait.
Specifically, it's fairly obviously patterned after Mussolini, who was ALWAYS portrayed this way and is one of Trump's "inspirations".
The first one looks like a young William Shatner dressed up as Trump for Halloween, the second one looks like John Bolton dressed up as Trump for Halloween.
The new picture is going to make Liz Lemon the next Secretary of State.
Not the headline with the words "Trump" and "hangs" that I was hoping for.
The Grinch Who Stole Democracy.
The first one actually made him look thinner and healthier. The new one looks like a sundried orange that got popped in the deep fryer. Deep-fried memes are easier on the eyes.
He looks like a sick dog in the thumbnail
Vanessa Horabuena
Talk about self-hating. With a name like that, he'd shoot you dead if he could.
The skin tone matches the frame... Needs more orange and hate and self-loathing.
"Make my head bigger than any other shmuck in the rest of these frames. What do you mean it looks cartoonish?"
Needs more yellow.
They're both so bad 🤣 The mouth on the first one...maybe like he's holding back vomit. Second, as someone else point out, looks like he's telling spooky stories around a campfire. Lol
