British-born, US-based Sarah A Boardman painted a poor portrait of Donald Trump. Her previous experience included painting a poor portrait of George W Bush.

Interesting (Newsweek).

The Trump portrait is shown in the article but not on her website, but her portrait of George W Bush is on her site, here. If you’re struggling, Bush’s portrait is the first portrait on the first row.

Trump wrote on Truth Social that Boardman’s painting of him, hung in Colorado’s State Capitol, was “bad” and “purposefully distorted.”

He said: “The artist also did President Obama, and he looks wonderful, but the one on me is truly the worst. She must have lost her talent as she got older. In any event, I would much prefer not having a picture than having this one.”

(End of Trump’s post on Truth Social.)

A chapter in my international bestseller Feminism: The Ugly Truth (2016) included a chapter titled, “Are some feminists (e.g. Tracey Emin) a pain in the arts?”
