As FOX 31’s Michael Konopasek reports, to the victor go the spoils:
State officials soon will begin the lengthy process of commissioning a portrait of President-elect Donald Trump to hang in the Colorado State Capitol.
In the statehouse rotunda is a tribute to the American presidency and the 43 men who have served it.
Every day, visitors admire the art by Lawrence Williams, who painted each portrait from President George Washington to President George W. Bush.
Konopasek reports that the artist responsible for all of the Colorado Capitol rotunda presidential portraits died before completing one for President Barack Obama, and the task then fell to a gifted Colorado Springs painter named Sarah Boardman.
Boardman is certainly qualified to paint Donald Trump’s portrait, and we expect she’ll get the job–but it occurred to us there are plenty of them on the market already. And it’s possible others might want to take a (pardon us) fresh crack at it.

Nice fig leaf.
There is a Mack Weldon ad right next to this "portrait". Can we please dress The Screaming Yam up in a pair of those boxers? Please? I hear they're comfy.
Hands are too large.
I kind of like this one of Obama, who built the Democratic party:
Don't you mean 'the Trickle Down Chickens Came Home to Roost?"
Reagan’s boyhood home is falling apart. And its director is begging for money to fix it.
Symbolic, no?
Tasteless as usual Colorado Pols. This is the President-elect of the United States. I don't even think Hillary would approve.
I thought the portrait displayed above was of Bill Clinton! No reason it could not have been!
