...Oh, noze! Not him!...in the Colorado State Capitol says her career could be in tatters now that the president has besmirched it on social media.
Sarah Boardman's painting of the president had hung in the Denver building for six years before Trump called it ''purposefully distorted'' and ''truly the worst'' on his Truth Social platform in January, prompting state politicians to yank it off the wall.
Now the artist's 41-year career ''is in danger of not recovering'' from the backlash, Boardman said in a statement on her website on Saturday.
