Wonder if he's dyslexic. That would explain why he doesn't read. Dad had reverse dyslexia and would sign his name like that, lots and lots of random Qs. His name was Bob.

OTOH, his reading speed and comprehension were unmatched by anyone I've ever known, and I'm no slouch myself. In a single Saturday afternoon he plowed 3 light sci-fi books to my 1. Didn't believe it, questioned him. Yep, he could talk about any plot points I brought up.

Another fascist who should have gone to art school instead of business school.
Or, since this was auctioned for charity, did he sign his name to claim someone else's work?

I was going to say, there IS something there in those pictures that could've grown into something bigger if it had been given a chance and cultivated (and not smothered under what I can only assume was the demand for manliest masculinity to ever man). He's clearly untrained but it's not a child's simple scribble either.

Imagine a world in which we'd discuss the postmodernist sharpie cityscapes of D. John Trump in art class.

(unless, as you say, it's not actually his. which, plausible)

Not even as skilled as Hilter. Which checks out.

Hitler had technical knowledge and muscle memory from studying art.

Hitler liked to draw as well.
