'Narcissism on steroids': Donald Trump faces backlash for initial response to Medal of Honor recipient's portrait

WASINGTON, DC: It appears that Donald Trump has a penchant for making headlines. He recently captured attention once again with his response to an artist presenting him with a portrait of a Medal of Honor recipient.

In a significant legal development, the 2nd US Circuit Court of Appeals decisively rejected the former president's request to halt proceedings in the upcoming E Jean Carroll defamation trial.

On a positive note for Trump, he was reinstated on the presidential ballot in Colorado, marking a favorable turn of events.

However, his fortunes took a different turn as Maine removed him from the state ballot just hours after Colorado's reinstatement for the 2024 election, leading to online mockery.

Perfect jaw, all those muscles?”, featuring Trump engaging with a young woman who identified herself as an artist.

In the video, she presents Trump with a portrait of a Medal of Honor recipient. Trump appears visibly impressed by the artwork and humorously asks, "Do you think I could look like that if you did me?"
