The 2003 birthday book also includes a letter that references Trump with a crude joke about a woman from another Epstein associate

An image of the letter bearing Trump’s signature, which has been turned over to Congress by the Epstein estate.

Lawyers for Jeffrey Epstein’s estate have given Congress a copy of the birthday book put together for the financier’s 50th birthday, which includes a letter with President Trump’s signature that he has said doesn’t exist.

Or that there are people out there buying his bullshit excuses!

"I never drew anything!"

collapsed inline media

(most of these look like a 5 year old did them, but top right is actually not bad!)

Wow I think I've found the only person that I draw better than.

Oh my God guys... you're better than this. You don't need to take trump down on how he's a worse artist than you... There is so much that is shitty about this man, how can you even care about the quality of his scribbles?

I think the thing to focus on here is that Trump fucks children. I'm just gonna repeat that. Trump fucks children.

I wouldn't give a shit if he painted the Mona Lisa.

You could, but it looks pathetic.

Trump fucks children and draws like them too

[–] Bonus@lemmy.world 12 points 15 hours ago (1 children)

As a designer, I see what he's trying to pull off, illustration-wise, and it's yielding nothing, if not a lot of cognitive dissonance. These look like something an illustrator for the New Yorker could shake out of their sleeves, even though donnie has none of the sensibilities or skills of that particular demo. Pretty much exactly what you'd expect from someone who has never acquired any skillsets, lacks self awareness, and lies pathologically about reality, truth and existence.

I bet if we had dates for them all, top right is from before he started deteriorating.

[–] Bonus@lemmy.world 8 points 15 hours ago (1 children)

Oh, good call. The continuous perimeter line drawings were what I was getting at. If I draw an object and then thicken the border around it, it pops more. He's copying stuff with no understanding of what he's trying to do. He definitely is seduced by branding.

Night Court was probably his favorite show back in the day:

I feel like he showed someone with a tiny bit of artistic ability one of his drawings and asked them to do it for him, and then he signed it

[–] jordanlund@lemmy.world 4 points 12 hours ago

Much more likely.

[–] Zugyuk@lemmy.world 9 points 11 hours ago (1 children)

You can tell which ones he traced 🤣

I would love to see some skylines superimposed to show it
