'Nobody is that skilled': Internet roasts Donald Trump Jr after he asks court sketch artist to make him 'look sexy'

Donald Trump Jr engaged in courtroom banter with sketch artist Jane Rosenberg

MANHATTAN, NEW YORK: During the conclusion of his testimony on Thursday, November 2 in a fraud trial that could restrict his family's real-estate business, Donald Trump Jr requested the courtroom sketch artist "Make me look sexy."

On November 2, 2023, during the civil fraud trial of the Trump Organization in the New York State Supreme Court in Manhattan. Donald Trump Jr and Eric Trump, sons of former US President Donald Trump and his co-defendants in the case provided their respective testimony.

What did Donald Trump Jr say?

The former president's eldest son spent hours on the stand, attempting to distance himself from fraudulent financial statements deemed as such by a judge.

After completing his testimony, Donald Jr, the first of four family members scheduled to testify, took a moment to joke around with Reuters-assigned courtroom sketch artist Jane Rosenberg.

Rosenberg claims that she was asked to create a portrait of Donald Trump Jr to increase his romantic appeal.

The seasoned sketch artist claimed that Donald Jr also provided a sample that he believed would be useful: a favorable courtroom drawing of the now-convicted cryptocurrency tycoon Sam Bankman-Fried.

Donald Jr said it made Bankman-Fried look like a "superstar," Rosenberg shared with Reuters.

The person with the sharp jaw and curly hair in that photo doesn't look anything like the infamously messy Bankman-Fried, who is currently facing charges of fraud that could land him in prison for many decades.

For Eric Trump, Donald Trump Jr, and his father, the stakes are not quite as high. The three defendants in the civil trial won't go to jail, but there may be fines in the hundreds of millions of dollars and Trump might lose possession of several trophy properties in New York that helped him become well-known before he entered politics.

How did internet react to Donald Trump Jr's courtroom banter?

Needless to say, people on X came up with the most outrageous and hilarious tweets upon hearing Donald Trump Jr.’s humble request to the courtroom sketch artist.

One X user said. “Nobody is that skilled.”

Another X user wrote, “I hope the sketch artist replied with “I’m going to need a lot more pastels and some beer goggles to do that”.”

Another user wrote, “Clearly he thinks the whole thing is a joke and I’m afraid since there seem to be 2-tiers of justice in this country, he may be right.”

One X user tweeted, “That guy is *everything* you’d expect him to be.”

While this user tweeted, “The greatest artist dead or alive could not make him look sexy.”

Another X user wrote, “She’s a sketch artist, not a plastic surgeon ffs”

One user said, “My retort: “Look sexy.””

And finally, this user asked the real question, “How do you make a bag of crap look sexy ?”
