A portrait of President Donald Trump in the Colorado Capitol will be taken down after the president dismissed the image as “truly the worst” and requested its removal.

The portrait was commissioned during Trump’s first term and has hung in the capitol rotunda’s hall of presidential portraits for almost six years.
