Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

I know. I don't get the problem wih it, it looks fine to me. If anything it humanized him a bit, it looks a bit softer than his official portrait....
.... oh wait, now I get it. Dude must be so insecure in his manhood that he rejects anything that he thinks makes him look soft.
It's hideous and inaccurate by not being hideous enough, let's not beat around the bush.
Necklabia. And extreme contrast between is orange skin and is sickly white skin isn't seen in the portrait too
Orangina with a side of fatty bacon
That's his neck
When will people learn to not have anything to do with the orange orangutang.
She did distort his likeness. His hair is way more fucked than that.
Funny. I don't even think it looks that bad. He looks worse in person.
I think it was Jon Stewart that asks....does he think his pictures are flattering?
Maybe that's the distortion 🤔
It's not as good a likeness as Bush's or Obama's paintings she made, but it's not far off and he looks healthier and younger in her painting than in real life, but whatever dude.
not orange enough, so it doesnt look like him, also the neckgina thing hes hiding.
If anything, he looks better in the portrait than irl. His narcissistic addled brain thinks he doesn't look disgusting...but he seriously fucking does.
I daresay he almost looks.... Stately in the portrait. It's like a look into an alternate reality where Trump was loved by his father and got into politics out a desire to serve his country, and were he's also done the bare minimum to care for himself for the past 79 years.
My guess would be he hates that she put gray in his hair and wrinkles around his eyes
I so very wish they had just ignored his rantings and ravings. Just completely do no comment and refuse to take any action, but most importantly, do not take it down, and do not offer to replace it. Nothing.
Would have been hilarious to see him get more and more angry over a big fat nothing.

Thank you for the correction
Republicans are the snowflakes and while not surprising, just absolutely pathetic and sad.
The portrait looked a shit ton better than how he looks in real life but we all know that the fragile Republican, male especially, will be hurt of the portrait isn't AI generated to artificially make him look like a comic book hero and isn't as fat and sickly looking that he actually is.
Why would he object to a picture that makes him look like a normal human? I mean, it looks way better than he normally does IRL.
man definitely has some issues with how he sees himself
So if he's falsely claiming that she intentionally made him look bad, isn't that slander?
No.
You could say it is a bad portrait because it does not show how shitty he really looks.
It's a very generous portrait
Her life is probably in peril considering how fucking unhinged trumpets can be.
I mean, Trump has a point here. That portrait is barely recognizable as being him... way too normal looking, not enough orange blotches around the face, hair looks attached instead of combed over, and she definitely wasn't able to capture that maniacal glint in his eyes.
also the contrast between his orange skin and his white pastey skin is not as prominent in the portrait.
Since she's now doing the time, she might as well have done the crime.
Should have been more like this - Rubble Rubble!
She didn't have enough orange paint.
I am reminded of those poor artists that had to paint the portrait of vial dictators, Hitler, Putin, Stalin.
Afraid if the portrait is not approved they'll be shipped off to the gulag, internment camp or the front lines.
vial dictators
Laboratories HATE them
The artist should add a toothbrush mustache and more fucking orange.
Just smear some Cheeto dust over it and he'll be happy.
Who does he think he is? Winston Churchill?
Since the Colorado Governor put an image of himself in the form of South Park, they should go get a picture of Mr. Garrison too since he wants it redone.
That sucks. Hopefully she gets some filthy rich patron to prop her up so she can flip donvict and his ilk the bird...
I bet lots of rich people would be happy to buy paintings she intentionally altered.
