And (surprise!) Trump Tower figures prominently.

Donald Trump's 2004 sketch of the New York skyline. By Emily Heil Emily Heil Co-author of the Reliable Source Email Bio Follow April 23 at 1:33 PM The oeuvre of Donald Trump the artist is more extensive than we thought — another sketch by the president has surfaced, and it’s on the auction block.

Trump’s 2004 doodle of the Manhattan skyline, in which Trump Tower dominates its neighboring skyscrapers has an opening offer of $9,000 with bidding set to close May 4. According to Heritage Auctions in Dallas, the sketch, which Trump drew for a charity art sale, is “one of the more attractive, well-executed versions we have seen, and the only one we can recall which is dated.”

Trump has done other versions of the same scene — and, you guessed it, Trump Tower tends to loom large in them. Just like another sketch that was auctioned in 2017, the then-businessman selected a Sharpie as his medium in his signature color: gold. This drawing is slightly more detailed than the previously sold work, including not just the buildings but also renderings of stick people below and cars whizzing by.

Heritage Auctions says Trump’s rare drawings have “attracted interest” in previous sales and typically go for “low five figures to around $30,000.”

Mind, he hasn‘t progressed to coloring it. It’s hard for him to stay within the lines.

My nine-year-old granddaughter can do better than that.

I wonder if Vlad will bid?

wouldn’t give him a nickel

Deal of the art

I will bid the highest price ever for a piece of art and hang it in the Louvre!

The mind boggles, and if someone buys it, the mind will boggle even more, however Trump has a history of getting people to buy stuff related to him, what a loss he is to Sesame Street....

The buildings look like guns and weapons

Probably ivanka drew it and he took credit. And she’s no artist.

Wow, he can draw rectangles!

Do the original crayons come with it?

... it looks like a 5th grader drew it🤣🤣🤣🤣

Did a teenager draw that?

Looks like art is just one more thing trump sucks at.

I'd rather purchase something from a real artist.

Refrigerator Art straight from the WH 2nd floor daycare.

Trump's complete absence of empathy virtually guarantees he lacks any artistic desire.

Yeah, it sucks. But it did sell for like $30,000...so whatever, I guess.

Cool‼️ I’m sure it’s out of my price range though!

I call this a lip line.

Trump drew it he was four, right? 😆😆😆

I see his spatial reasoning is as good as his hand-eye coordination.

he was 5 when he did that right?...I have a 4 yr. old granddaughter who can do better than that.

Almost as cool as a Hitler painting!

Looks like turdsylvania

I’ll take a dump on it for $10

My best bit, 1 dollar?!

Executed in orange crayon no doubt.

Looks like something my 6 year old grandson made

At first I thought the sketch was made by a 3rd grader. But then again, Trump's intellectual ability is stuck at that level any way. Pathetic!

He won’t claim the income.

OMG This is 5th grade art work.....

If only he and hitler followed there love of art

Was it drawn with a crayon?

🤣

Seriously?

Anyone has change for a button?

Okay fine. How much will I be paid to take that piece of garbage?

A kindergarter could have done that. 🙄

Ugh so derivative. And that garish signature. I'll put up 20 bucks toward a public burning.

Burn it!

Who did this for him? Come on, you know and I know he didn’t sketch this.

Up for auction? Seriously? I've seen better art from schoolchildren! LMAO!

Hitler also was very fond of painting. FunFact TOTALLYunrelated

He paid a kid to do that.

And this is the least “sketchy” thing he has ever done.

Meanwhile 😂

tweeting this is like the creepy kid who won't stop stalking the ex on social media.

Adolf?

Well, OBVIOUSLY, he is also a GENIUS artist. - trumpsters, probably.

Are you sure he did the sketch?

Time for Carbon 14 dating

Auction? How about the dog house.

Nice job helping him personally profit off the presidency by promoting this

Another failed artist eh? Sounds familiar..

I have a hard time believing his mom was the kind who saved his childhood drawings in a scrapbook... fakenews

He really likes crayons and pencils, I guess.

Its a chain link fence and a medieval wall with a moat.

So he has form them?

I see he got his “art” degree from trump university 😏

I’ll give you ten rubles for it.

Crayon on water color paper?

We’d all be fine if he continued sketching and left everything else to anybody else

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

You couldn't pay me enough to take it. WORTHLESS

There's no way he actually sketched that himself...

He draws like he talks. Like a 3rd grader.

Are those cars swimming in a river? It’s Trump’s vision of the future. Not flying cars, but swimming cars.

Is it in crayon?

Looks like something I drew in 4th grade. Reflective of his mental capacity.

You mean his charity is not buying it?

That’s pretty good.

I'd rather buy toilet paper

10 $

Lol. Wtf is that?

Donald Trump and other world leaders respond to attacks in Sri Lanka'138 people have been killed in Sri Lanka, with more that 600 badly injured, in a terrorist attack on churches and hotels,' tweeted Trump. I don't think anyone really cares what liar trump says but the real world leaders share grief for those affected by this senseless thing No wonder things happening on this scale when three main political parties scavenge each other for cheap political gains. Hence, the end results , emancipation prevails and many make hay while the sun shines - Sad !
