'Full-Blown Meltdown': Trump Flips Out Over A Not-Very-Flattering Official Portrait
President Donald Trump spent part of his Sunday railing against a portrait of himself that’s been hanging in the Colorado State Capitol for nearly six years.
“Nobody likes a bad picture or painting of themselves, but the one in Colorado, in the State Capitol, put up by the Governor, along with all other Presidents, was purposefully distorted to a level that even I, perhaps, have never seen before,” he griped on his Truth Social website.
Trump said a portrait of President Barack Obama created by the same artist, Sarah Boardman, “looks wonderful.”
But the president slammed the image of himself as “truly the worst.”
The president insisted that “many people” have called and written to complain about the image, which he blamed on Gov. Jared Polis (D).
“Jared should be ashamed of himself!” Trump said as he demanded that Polis take the portrait down.
But Polis wasn’t behind the painting, which was commissioned in 2018, before he took office, after a prankster placed a portrait of Russian President Vladimir Putin in a spot where an image of Trump should have been, but wasn’t.
There was no image of Trump at the time because no money had been raised to commission it.
When that story went viral, Kevin Grantham ― a Republican who was president of the Colorado Senate at the time ― raised more than $10,000 via crowdfunding for the portrait.
At the unveiling in 2019, the artist Boardman said her image was meant to stand the test of time.
BREAKING: Trump is having a full-blown meltdown on Truth Social—this time over a painting of him displayed at the Colorado State Capitol. He’s lashing out at the governor, claiming the portrait is “distorted.”
It’d be a real shame if everyone saw it… and shared it.

Bless his little heart.

There is just so much to unpack here. But as a Colorado citizen, I never would’ve been aware of this portrait until he mentioned it, but now I might just need to swing into the Capitol to take a gander at the “wonderful” Obama portrait.

Donald Trump Jr’s attempt to smear Jeffrey Goldberg is brutally shot down
Donald Trump Jr’s attempt to smear The Atlantic editor-in-chief Jeffrey Goldberg was swiftly shot down in the fallout of the Signalgate national security scandal.
Embattled Republicans scrambled to downplay the severity of the breach after Goldberg’s explosive report detailed how White House National Security adviser Mike Waltz mistakenly invited him to an encrypted chat where top officials discussed an impending U.S. strike in Yemen.
Hours before President Trump attempted to shift the blame to an unidentified “lower level” White House employee, his eldest son targeted Golberg on X.
“Why doesn't Jeffrey Goldberg disclose to readers in his stories that he is a registered Democrat?,” Don Jr. tweeted on Tuesday afternoon. “His wife also worked for Hillary Clinton and has donated nearly $25k to Democrats.”
The political scion faced backlash for his attempt to discredit The Atlantic journalist, leaving social media users asking why a registered Democrat was added to the insecure channel in the first place.
“Isn’t it even *worse* that top Cabinet officials added a registered Democrat to their war plan chat on an unsecured app?,” Brian Tyler Cohen, a progressive YouTube creator and MSNBC contributor, said.
“Great question, Don,” another X user replied. “Why did Pete Hegseth share classified military intelligence with a registered Democrat in an unsecured Signal chat.”
“So the Trump administration is talking about classified information on a commercial app on their private phones — and they added a registered democrat to the conversation without noticing it?,” a third added.”
“And you blame the registered democrat [sic]? Nice job!”

If Trump genuinely believes that parts of the Ukraine should be handed over to Russia because the majority of citizens in that region agree.
Does that mean that he accepts that California and New York should be handed over to a new country? As considerable majorities in those States voted Democrat.
