President Donald Trump is enraged over his portrait that's hanging in the Colorado State Capitol and wants it taken down.

The president vented about his frustration over the weekend on Truth Social.

"Nobody likes a bad picture or painting of themselves," Trump wrote. "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 added that while the same artist's portrait of Barack Obama “looks wonderful,” that his is “truly the worst.” He said the painter “must have lost her talent as she got older.” He also insisted that Colorado residents are “angry” about his portrait and “have called and written to complain.”

Trump blamed Gov. Jared Polis—whom he called the “Radical Left Governor”—and said he should “be ashamed of himself.”

In response to his rant about the portrait, the X account Republicans Against Trump called the president "a petty, insecure baby."

Earlier this month, West Coast rapper YG had a Trump impersonator join him for a performance of “FDT” at Rolling Loud in Los Angeles.

During YG’s set, the impersonator walked on stage and spoke to the people.

"I love Los Angeles. There are so many illegals," the fake Trump said. But before he could finish, YG shoved him off the stage as the 2016 single “FDT” began to play.
