We've all had this happen to us before: you're feeling good because you think you're looking good... Then you see a picture of yourself and your first reaction is "I don't look like that, do I?"

It turns out that even the President of the United States of America isn't immune to that feeling. The only difference is, he's powerful enough to do something about it.

According to a letter obtained by the Associated Press, "a painting of Donald Trump hanging with other presidential portraits at the Colorado state Capitol will be taken down after Trump claimed that it was 'purposefully distorted.'"

House Democrats said in a statement that the oil painting would be taken down at the request of Republicans in the Legislature.

An expensive mistake

Even though Trump claimed the photo was "purposefully distorted," it was his own party that was responsible for it. Colorado Republicans used a GoFundMe account to collect $10,000 to commission the oil painting, which was unveiled in 2019.

Senate Minority Leader Paul Lundeen, a Republican, said that he requested Trump's portrait be taken down and replaced by one "that depicts his contemporary likeness."

Democrats used this to take some subtle digs at the way Republicans are spending time and money:

"If the GOP wants to spend time and money on which portrait of Trump hangs in the Capitol, then that’s up to them," they said.

This isn't the first time this portrait has been in the news. Before the installation, a prankster placed a picture of Russian President Vladimir Putin in the spot intended for Trump.

Trump unhappy

Artist Sarah Boardman's depiction of Trump was described as "nonconfrontational" and "thoughtful," but Donald wasn't happy.

Donald Trump went so far as to post on social media that he would prefer no picture at all over the one that hangs in the Colorado Capitol.

Trump also seemed to think that Barack Obama's portrait by the same artist was given much more love than his was, saying "he looks wonderful" about Barack's portrait.

"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," Donald Trump posted on social media.

Democrats immediately agreed to Trump's request to take the portrait down, teaming with Republicans in the Legislature's executive committee to sign a letter directing the removal of Trump's portrait.

Boardman defended her painting, saying that it was important to her that her depictions of both Obama and Trump looked apolitical.
