In 2019, The Colorado Republican Party commissioned a portrait of Donald Trump to hang in the state capitol along with those of previous presidents of the United States. Sometime this week, while the rest of his maladministration was scrambling to explain why top-level officials had invited the editor of The Atlantic to join their conversation on an unsecure web app about bombing Yemen, Trump became aware of the $10,000 painting.
And he didn't like it.
So he took to Trump Social to complain.
As my colleague J.P. Trostle observed, the portrait does make Trump look like one of those official portraits of Soviet apparatchiks in the mid-20th Century. And appropriately so.
Anyway, Colorado Republicans know better than to incur the wrath of Mercurial Authoritarian Donald Joffrey Trump, so they are taking the portrait down to see if someone can produce a more accurate one.
How about Jane Rosenberg?
