Trump says he doesn't draw but auctioned sketches suggest otherwise

UNITED STATES, JUL 18 – Trump denies authorship of a 2003 explicit drawing despite past charity auctions of his cityscape sketches raising thousands, including a $29,000 sale in 2017, auctioneers said.

  • Donald Trump denied drawing a sketch mentioned in a Wall Street Journal report, stating, "I never wrote a picture in my life. I don’t draw pictures of women".
  • In 2017, a drawing signed by Trump sold for $8,500, and an Empire State Building drawing sold for $16,000 at Juliens Auctions.
  • White House spokesman Steven Cheung supported Trump's denial, calling the Wall Street Journal report "fake news".
  • Lockard plans to auction another drawing starting at $10,000, stating, "it raises thousands of dollars to help the hungry in New York".
