Artist of ‘the worst’ picture of Trump says criticism damaging her business

An artist whose official portrait of Donald Trump was publicly lambasted by the president said his comments are "directly and negatively impacting" her business, threatening its future.

British-born artist Sarah A Boardman painted Trump's official portrait for the Denver State Capitol Gallery of Presidents, where it hung for six years.

In January Trump described Boardman's picture as "truly the worst" in a post on Truth Social, adding that is had been distorted and the artist had lost her talent as she aged. It was later removed.

In a statement Ms Boardman said her business was now in "danger of not recovering".
