Trump claims he "never wrote a picture in his life"...

but his drawing of the NYC skyline that he auctioned off looks a bit like a bunch of Russian money-laundered properties giving the middle finger:

Responding to a report about his former relationship with Epstein, Trump said, “I never wrote a picture in my life." The record suggests otherwise.

Are you surprised that something he said is demonstrably untrue?

The letter, the Journal reported, was “among the documents examined by Justice Department officials who investigated Epstein and Maxwell years ago, according to people who have reviewed the pages.” From the article:

The letter bearing Trump’s name, which was reviewed by the Journal, is bawdy — like others in the album. It contains several lines of typewritten text framed by the outline of a naked woman, which appears to be hand-drawn with a heavy marker. A pair of small arcs denotes the woman’s breasts, and the future president’s signature is a squiggly ‘Donald’ below her waist, mimicking pubic hair. The letter concludes: ‘Happy Birthday — and may every day be another wonderful secret.


.....In the latter missive, the president wrote, in reference to the letter attributed to him, “These are not my words, not the way I talk. Also, I don’t draw pictures.” The Republican made similar on-the-record comments to the Journal, which quoted him saying, “This is not me. This is a fake thing. It’s a fake Wall Street Journal story. I never wrote a picture in my life. I don’t draw pictures of women. It’s not my language. It’s not my words.”.....

The New York Times reported during the president’s first term, for example, on a 2005 sketch of the Manhattan skyline that Trump drew and signed, which sold at auction for more than $29,000. He signed other drawings that also sold for considerable sums.

What’s more, in his 2008 book, “Never Give Up,” Trump wrote about his annual habit of donating autographed “doodles” to be auctioned for charity.
