What a whiney little snowflake Trump is. “Oh no my portrait is photorealistic and accurately depicts that I look like a clown”.

If anything it's a rather flattering rendition, considering.

It really is the most flattering depiction I've ever seen. The "problem" is that he doesn't think he looks enough like a serial killer in it.

It looks more like how he looked in the 2000s, not whatever the hell he is now.

For those not from this state, Colorado Republicans took up a collection 6 years ago, and chose this Republican lady to paint the portrait and it's been hanging in our state capitol for those years. It was only this year that Chump complained about "many people" not liking it and then Colorado Republicans immediately took it down.

Colorado Senate Minority Leader Paul Lundeen, a Republican, has said that the Trump portrait should be replaced with one “that depicts his contemporary likeness.”

The boot licking will never end. These people have no backbone, apparently.

Streisand effect that image. Use it for all news stories. If it bothers him that much then let's keep using it.

There were people with signs using that image at the Hands Off rally in Denver this last weekend. So yeah!

ETA: Here is it. Use it everywhere.

The disrepectable Donald

Honestly, that portrait looks more human than the real thing. Why is he upset?

[-] HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 8 points 1 week ago

Because we get to make this joke?

[-] perishthethought@lemm.ee 8 points 1 week ago

See the other comments here. He's a man baby tyrant and just wants to see his lackeys jump every time he says anything.

[-] CircaV@lemmy.ca 3 points 1 week ago

It looks just like him

"Here lies President Felon. A man who loved destroying everything he saw. Best friend and employee of Vladimir Putin. His grave is now a public urinal. No one misses him."

I saw at least two, the big one with the clown face paint over it "There, I fixed the painting", and another one where they just added his ear bandage. Pretty funny.
