A Colorado artist denies trying to distort Donald Trump's likeness in a portrait that hung until recently in the state Capitol and says the president's criticisms are hurting her business.
She also disputed that the work drew a lot of complaints before Trump weighed in.
Trump called the portrait by Colorado Springs painter Sarah Boardman “purposefully distorted” in a March 23 post on Truth Social. Trump added that Boardman “must have lost her talent as she got older” and posted that he preferred having no portrait in the Colorado Capitol to that one.
