The Colorado Republicans had collected more than $ 10,000 to commission the oil painting which was the objective of the president’s wrath.

Tuesday morning, the portrait was no longer hung next to those of other US presidents.

“If the Gop wants to spend time and money on which Trump’s portrait is hanging on the Capitol, then it depends on them,” they said in a note.

Republicans did not say how they will pay for a new portrait or for those who could paint it.

In his social media post on Sunday, Trump said he wouldn’t prefer any photos on that al Colorado capital. He expressed discontent for the way in which the portrait of his presidential predecessor Barack Obama – who was painted by the artist himself – “seems wonderful”.
