Overview

• Former President Donald Trump's official portrait was removed from the Colorado State Capitol after he criticized it as 'purposefully distorted.'
• Republican lawmakers requested the portrait's removal, and it has since been placed in storage with no plans for a replacement yet.
• Governor Jared Polis marked April Fools' Day by sharing a 'South Park'-style portrait of himself, humorously referencing Trump's critique.
• Polis emphasized his support for Colorado art and cultural identity, noting the state's connection to the creators of the 'South Park' series.
• The decision to commission a new portrait depends on whether Republican lawmakers allocate resources for its creation.
