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.
Last spring, Trump posted on social media that Boardman “must have lost her talent as she got older” and “purposely distorted” him, criticisms the Colorado Springs artist denied.
The Picture of Dorian Orange
New one looks like a black velvet painting.
It really shows his inner beauty…
Lmao shit those two paintings are radically different
Needs more yellow.
“Make my head bigger than any other shmuck in the rest of these frames. What do you mean it looks cartoonish?”
Vanessa Horabuena
Talk about self-hating. With a name like that, he’d shoot you dead if he could.
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
Fascinating that that’s how he sees himself.
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
Not the headline with the words “Trump” and “hangs” that I was hoping for.
The skin tone matches the frame… Needs more orange and hate and self-loathing.
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.
Specifically, it’s fairly obviously patterned after Mussolini, who was ALWAYS portrayed this way and is one of Trump’s “inspirations”.
Even Hitler in that photo doesn’t look nearly as sinister as Trump in his new portrait.
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.
The second one looks like an English bulldog with jaundice preparing to tell a spooky story around a campfire.
The second one looks like his first name is Clifford.
The second one looks like the first one’s mugshot
The Grinch Who Stole Democracy.
