People can't stop trolling Donald Trump by resharing the hilariously bad portrait of him that hangs in the Colorado State Capitol building.

People can't help but troll President Donald Trump after he complained about a truly awful portrait of him hanging in the Colorado State Capitol building.

On Sunday night, Trump lashed out against Colorado Governor Jared Polis for hanging what he called a "purposefully distorted" portrait of him in the Colorado State Capitol building.


And hilariously, Trump included the portrait in the post itself for all to see:

Trump wrote:

“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."
“The artist also did President Obama, and he looks wonderful, but the one [of] me is truly the worst. She must have lost her talent as she got older. In any event, I would much prefer not having a picture than having this one, but many people from Colorado have called and written to complain."
"In fact, they are actually angry about it! I am speaking on their behalf to the Radical Left Governor, Jared Polis, who is extremely weak on Crime, in particular with respect to Tren de Aragua, which practically took over Aurora (Don’t worry, we saved it!), to take it down. Jared should be ashamed of himself.”

Trump cited the Venezuelan gang Tren de Aragua (TdA) while discussing recent deportations, referencing its alleged presence in Aurora, Colorado last year.

And a close-up of the portrait in question for good measure.

Of course, all Trump's complaints did was draw even more attention to the portrait he detests so much, and the reactions were hilarious, as people decided to troll Trump by posting the portrait even more widely.

Someone even used software to make the portrait look like Trump was crying—possibly out of frustration.

At least a couple played around with his hair and face with amusing results.


The portrait of Trump was added to the Colorado State Capitol's wall of presidential portraits in 2019, arriving a year after a prankster placed a photo of Russian President Vladimir Putin near the spot reserved for him.

The portrait, an oil painting by Sarah Boardman, was commissioned by a Republican State Senator via a GoFundMe campaign in 2018, with Colorado Republicans raising over $10,000 to fund it. Boardman, who also painted the Capitol’s portrait of Barack Obama, completed the piece as part of the state’s ongoing tradition of honoring U.S. presidents.

President Donald Trump was widely mocked after he published a Truth Social post in which he quoted Energy Secretary Chris Wright, who claimed this year's Nobel Prize in physics is by an extension a win for the Trump administration.

The Nobel Foundation awarded this year's physics prize to John Clarke (UC Berkeley), Michel H. Devoret (Yale and UC Santa Barbara), and John M. Martinis (UC Santa Barbara and Qolab) for “the discovery of macroscopic quantum mechanical tunneling and energy quantization in an electric circuit."

CEO predicts society accepts robot death

In 2009, Waymo introduced its first fleet of driverless cars, sleek pods equipped with sensors, AI, and a “Sense, Solve, Go” system designed to navigate roads autonomously without human input. According to the company, its robotaxis now experience 91 percent fewer crashes and 91 percent fewer serious injuries than human drivers over the same distances.

But even as Waymo brags about its spotless stats, co-CEO Tekedra Mawakana is already bracing for the inevitable: the first fatality caused by one of its cars, and she thinks society will accept it.

Prince Harry Had The Perfect Response When Asked If He Can Do An American Accent—And It Was Actually Pretty Good

Americans are fascinated by hearing people from other countries "drop" their accents and emulate an American one.

For example, it's always interesting to see a British or Australian actor in a movie where they're portraying an American character, but while they might veil their natural accent, they sometimes emulate an American accent from a different part of the country than what would make sense for their character.
