Trump rages through Capitol portrait: Never so badly seen!

Vienna, Österreich - President Donald Trump recently commented on his "Truth Social" platform indignantly about a portrait of him, which is exhibited in the Colorado Capitol. He described the official painting, which can be seen in addition to representations of other US presidents, as "deliberately distorted" and found the artistic implementation so bad that he "may never have seen" something comparable. Trump criticized the presentation that shows him with a blurred face and an empty expression, and emphasized that he would rather not have a picture of himself than this.

In addition, he expressed that many people in Colorado had complained about the portrait and that some are even "angry" about it. In his statements on March 24, 2025, Trump also criticized the democratic governor of Colorado, Jared Polis, and described him "extremely weak in fighting crime". Trump also referred to the Gang Tren de Aragua, which reported the city of Aurora.

crime through gangs

The Gang Tren de Aragua, which was founded in Venezuela in 2012, is increasingly the focus of the authorities in New York City. This organization is involved in many criminal activities, including robberies, drug trafficking and human trafficking, and is increasingly expanding its operations internationally. According to information from the NYPD, there has been a worrying increase in robberies over the past few months, in particular by moped robbers that are associated with the corridor.

From April 2023 to January 2024, 160 robberies were registered, a significant increase compared to 62 in the previous year. The perpetrators use mopeds to steal valuables from their victims - cell phones are often the goal because they enable access to bank accounts. In a terrifying incident, a 62-year-old woman was carried away during a raid. Colombia and Venezuela are the destinations for stolen cell phones that can be sold there for up to $ 1,500.

global challenges

Trump also appeared in a video conference at the World Economic Forum (WEF) in Davos and announced that it was vigorous against migration, crime and inflation. He asked companies to produce their products in the USA, otherwise they would have to expect high tariffs. The ex-President praised a planned investment of Saudi Arabia of $ 600 billion to the United States and criticized that Europe dealt unfairly with the USA.

In his statements, he also emphasized the importance of deregulation and spoke out against the EU's bureaucratic processes and the promotion of electric cars. Trump sees the large oil reserves of the United States as the key to reducing energy prices and warned the Opec countries of a price increase.

The topics raised in the past few days, from Trump's reactions to portrait to the threat of criminal organizations in the USA, reflect the complex challenges with which American society is confronted. It remains to be seen how those responsible will react to these challenges.
