PARTING SHOT

A portrait of Donald Trump that he said was “purposefully distorted” has been removed from a wall at the Colorado state capitol where it had been since 2019.

After Trump posted complaints about the painting on his Truth Social platform, Colorado Senate minority leader Paul Lundeen, a Republican, asked that it be taken down and replaced with one that “depicts his contemporary likeness”.

Colorado Republicans had raised more than $10,000 (€9,200) to commission the oil painting.

By this morning, the portrait was no longer hanging next to those of other US presidents.
