One user echoed a similar sentiment, “He’s more all about me than I’ve ever seen.” Others tweeted, “That’s something to be brag about, don’t be shy. Junior might not want to see your drawings, but the rest of us do.” As if this wasn’t enough, “That’s an honor! Congrats.”
As per People , this incident isn’t the first time Don Jr. has found himself at the center of attention for his reactions to artwork. A while ago, during his testimony, in a Manhattan fraud trial, he humorously requested the courtroom sketch artist to ‘make me look sexy.’
That is indeed a compliment!

Jane Rosenberg, the illustrator, recalled the moment, noting that Trump Jr. made the request in jest, even referencing a viral sketch of FTX founder Sam Bankman-Fried. Ironically, that sketch was later revealed to be a product of AI.

The trial itself was a high-profile case brought by New York State Attorney General Letitia James against former President Donald Trump , his adult sons, and the Trump Organization. The allegations involved the fraudulent inflation of the former president’s fortune by as much as $2.2 billion since 2011. The lawsuit sought to ban them from conducting business in New York and demanded $250 million in damages.
That’s an honor! Congrats 😊

Moreover, recently, James asked that a judge void the former President’s bond in his civil fraud case, questioning whether the company that issued it (Knight Specialty Insurance Company) has the funds to back it up. As per the reports of NBC News , she noted that KSIC was “not authorized to write business in New York and thus not regulated by the state’s insurance department…”
That’s something to be brag about, don’t be shy. Junior might not want to see your drawings, but the rest of us do.

She further added that KCIS “had never before written a surety bond in New York or in the prior two years in any other jurisdiction, and has a total policyholder surplus of just $138 million…KSIC does not now have an exclusive right to control the account and will not obtain such control unless and until it exercises a right to do so on two days’ notice.” During a February interview, she also said, “If he does not have funds to pay off the judgment, then we will seek judgment enforcement mechanisms in court, and we will ask the judge to seize his assets.”
