Prankster puts Putin portrait in Colorado Capitol where Trump's portrait would be

For a brief time on Thursday, a portrait of Russian President Vladimir Putin was on display in Colorado's Capitol building in a space designated for President Trump’s portrait.

The portrait of Putin was reportedly put up on an easel on Capitol’s wall of presidential portraits by an unknown prankster. It was later taken down by a tour guide, according to Denver NBC affiliate, 9News.

Before the portrait was removed, however, Colorado State Sen. Steve Fenberg (D) shared a photo of the display on Twitter.

The spot, which is designated for Trump’s portrait, is reportedly blank due to a lack of donations made to the Colorado Citizens for Culture. The group is tasked with collecting donations for presidential portraits to be commissioned and placed in the Capitol.
