Summary
Artist Sarah Boardman said her 41-year art career is at risk after Donald Trump accused her of distorting his likeness in a 2019 portrait displayed in the Colorado State Capitol.
Trump called for its removal in a March 23 Truth Social post, prompting Republican lawmakers to have it taken down the next day.
Boardman denied political bias and said the portrait was pre-approved. She reported a sharp decline in business and backlash, though her family and supporters defended her online.
Boardman had also painted Barack Obama and George W. Bush.
Republicans are the snowflakes and while not surprising, just absolutely pathetic and sad.
The portrait looked a shit ton better than how he looks in real life but we all know that the fragile Republican, male especially, will be hurt of the portrait isn’t AI generated to artificially make him look like a comic book hero and isn’t as fat and sickly looking that he actually is.

Has she considered telling this to somebody who gives a fuck ?
Honestly she used modest flattery. Be happy she didnt draw your triple neckgina fold.
Orangina with a side of fatty bacon
Everyone my age and above has a turkeyneck, unless they’ve had expensive and unconvincing work done. That’s just the aging process.
The thing that’s not a normal part of aging is the way Trump’s mouth looks like the vagina of an elderly cow.
Necklabia. And extreme contrast between is orange skin and is sickly white skin isn’t seen in the portrait too
I know. I don’t get the problem wih it, it looks fine to me. If anything it humanized him a bit, it looks a bit softer than his official portrait…
… oh wait, now I get it. Dude must be so insecure in his manhood that he rejects anything that he thinks makes him look soft.
It’s hideous and inaccurate by not being hideous enough, let’s not beat around the bush.
He’s like Poppin’ Fresh. Newly made dough is harder than he is.
So if he’s falsely claiming that she intentionally made him look bad, isn’t that slander?
No.
She did distort his likeness. His hair is way more fucked than that.
Who does he think he is? Winston Churchill?
That sucks. Hopefully she gets some filthy rich patron to prop her up so she can flip donvict and his ilk the bird…
When will people learn to not have anything to do with the orange orangutang.
I so very wish they had just ignored his rantings and ravings. Just completely do no comment and refuse to take any action, but most importantly, do not take it down, and do not offer to replace it. Nothing.
Would have been hilarious to see him get more and more angry over a big fat nothing.
Since the Colorado Governor put an image of himself in the form of South Park, they should go get a picture of Mr. Garrison too since he wants it redone.
Since she’s now doing the time, she might as well have done the crime.
Should have been more like this - Rubble Rubble!
He should have hired the artist who did this: https://cdn.vox-cdn.com/thumbor/Nq7vTCDcpofQsvuGHhFicf_8OY0=/0x0:416x277/1200x800/filters:focal(0x0:416x277)/cdn.vox-cdn.com/uploads/chorus_image/image/50366429/opera.0.0.png
Her life is probably in peril considering how fucking unhinged trumpets can be.
The artist should add a toothbrush mustache and more fucking orange.
