“Thank you to the Highly Talented Artist, Vanessa Horabuena, and the incredible people of Colorado,” Trump posted Tuesday on his social network Truth Social, together with a photo of the new painting.
The White House donated the portrait about a month ago, and it was put up this week, the AP reported. The image is much closer to Trump’s latest presidential portrait, which in turn bears a resemblance to his famous mug shot. The photo taken at a jail in Georgia in 2023 became a symbol of the 2024 election, worn by his supporters in defiance of prosecutions that Trump portrayed as political.
