Colorado Governor Trolls Trump Complaining About His Official Portrait By Tweeting a ‘South Park AP Photo/David Zalubowski, File Colorado Gov. Jared Polis (D) took the opportunity presented by April Fools’ Day to have some fun at President Donald Trump’s expense, posting a portrait of himself done in the South Park animation style in what many viewed as a jab at the president’s complaints about his official portrait recently hung in the state capitol.
