While it seems everyone in the Trump family wants to come out of this ongoing as unscathed as possible, the eldest of Donald Trump’s children, Donald Trump Jr, may even want to come out of this looking good. You may be thinking, “What do you mean by that?” Well, it’s reported that Donald Jr requested that the courtroom sketch artist do some creative liberties to his sketch while he took the stand.

Jane Rosenberg told Reuters that the Liberal Privilege author asked her that she should “make me look sexy” in her sketch.

NEW YORK, NEW YORK – NOVEMBER 02: Donald Trump Jr. steps out for a break at former President Donald Trump’s civil fraud trial on November 02, 2023 in New York City. Trump’s children, Donald Jr., Eric and daughter Ivanka, are all expected to testify at their father’s trial in the coming days. The former president may be forced to sell off his properties after Justice Engoron canceled his business certificates and ruled that he committed fraud for years while building his real estate empire after being sued by Attorney General Letitia James, seeking $250 million in damages. The trial will determine how much he and his companies will be penalized for the fraud. (Photo by David Dee Delgado/Getty Images)

Rosenberg alleged to the outlet that Donald Jr wanted a portrait that could make him seem more handsome and romantic, and even had an example in mind to give her.

When talking with Rosenberg, Donald Jr wanted her to refer to a “flattering” courtroom portrait of Sam Bankman-Fried, the former cryptocurrency mogul. Not only did he want her to emulate this type of sketch, but Rosenberg wasn’t even the one who made that sketch he gave an example of.

Rosenberg’s response? She told him that the viral portrait of Bankman-Fried was a fake. “I said, ‘That’s fake,'” she said. “It doesn’t look anything like him, doesn’t look anything like Sam Bankman-Fried … and there’s no one in the courtroom drawing that.”

This reported courtroom request has made people speculate that Donald Jr’s priorities are mainly on him looking good amid all this family debacle, rather than focusing on the legal aspects of this case.

Donald Jr and his brother Eric Trump have both given their testimonies, with their sister Ivanka Trump’s testimony coming up soon (despite her attempts to try and pause, dismiss, and postpone the event). They’ve all been called to the stand during their father Donald’s ongoing NY fraud trial, per ABCNews.
