At the end of his testimony Thursday in the New York fraud trial brought by state Attorney General Letitia James, Donald Trump Jr. made a request of the courtroom sketch artist that has set off a flurry of mockery and trolling on social media.
HuffPost reports:
After Donald Trump’s oldest son concluded his testimony, he asked artist Jane Rosenberg to “make me look sexy,” according to Reuters, which hired her to cover the Trump family trial.
He even suggested an example he thought might inspire her: A flattering courtroom portrait Rosenberg did of Sam Bankman-Fried that Don Jr. said made the former cryptocurrency mogul look like a “superstar.”

Make him look sexy, huh? There’s a better chance of making a wildebeest look like a peacock.
Reaction to Junior’s comments on social media were on-point.
It didn’t work. 🤮

It’s a pencil, not a magic wand.

Well you can’t take a piece of 💩 and make it look sexy.

If Don Jr. wants a way to look better than he does, perhaps he should try putting a bag over his head.
