Colorado Gov. Jared Polis pokes fun at Trump with official 'South Park' portrait in April Fools' Day post

"No one likes an unflattering photo or painting of themselves, which is why I went in a different direction for my official portrait," Polis said in a post on X that featured an animated image of himself as a character in "South Park" on his official portrait. 

Polis, a Democrat, said he supports Colorado art and that "this portrait was an exciting opportunity to do exactly that while embedding my image into the fabric of Colorado's history."

South Park, which revolves around four friends, is set in Colorado. 

Last month, Trump demanded that his portrait be taken down from the state Capitol in Denver after he harshly criticized the painting and its artist. 

"Nobody likes a bad picture or painting of themselves, but the one in Colorado, in the State Capitol put up by the Governor, along with all other Presidents, was purposefully distorted to a level that even I, perhaps, have never seen before," Trump wrote on Truth Social at the time.

Despite Trump's criticism of Polis, the Democratic governor wasn't in office when the portrait was commissioned in 2019.
