Donald Trumps sketch of the Manhattan skyline is going to auction

Given President Trump’s healthy ego, is it surprising that in his mind, Trump Tower dominates the Manhattan skyline?

A rare sketch made by the future president in 2005 for a charity auction is hitting the market again — and let’s just say that even if his approval ratings are at abysmal lows, Trump might still want to stick to his day job instead of pursuing art. The sketch features the outlines of other buildings, all boxy and anonymous-looking, with Trump Tower at the center, its stepped-design facade portrayed with lines. The building is the largest in the image (though in real life, it is the 64th-tallest skyscraper in New York).

And, in a particularly Trumpian flourish, the artist signed the work with a gold marker.

The sketch, owned by an anonymous seller, is set to be auctioned Thursday by Los Angeles-based Nate D. Sanders Auctions, with bidding set to start at $9,000.

14. They could also be erections.

Wow, that's a pun.

That's some dumbass scribble art.

That took him two minutes. Every building is in the same configuration. Each bottom line has a pen lift like his signature. Every third building has a roof.

[Angry Dragon]

33. It took him a month to draw that

[barbtries]

3. really?

that's real? well, it's not for the art of the piece obviously, it's for his signature.

for some reason though i see a bunch of middle fingers in it. like fuck you, fuck you, fuck you

[murielm99]

7. Hitler thought he was an artist, too.

[barbtries]

8. if this fell into my possession

i would put it face down in the bottom of the cedar chest and tell my grandchildren to have their grandchildren sell it in a 100 years. i watch antiques roadshow

[smirkymonkey]

15. Hitler was effing Rembrandt compared to Trump!

My sister's puppy could do a better sketch of the Manhattan skyline and she's never even been there.

[drray23]

27. i think before he became hitler he was actually a painter.

He made his living in vienna selling landscape paintings abd postcards...

[benld74]

5. Perspective is WAY off in his art, too

[Crowman2009]

6. I've seen kindergartners with better drawing skills.

[Rural_Progressive]

10. Appears his skills as an artist are at par (that's a clever pun, pay attention)

with his skills as president.

[monmouth4]

11. WTH, the top of Bart Simpson's head is in the middle of the skyline...n/t

[DesertRat]

17. oooh...so this explains who drew on that women's eyebrows today...

[Judi Lynn]

19. Uh, oh. n/t

[Judi Lynn]

18. A lot of people would be too deeply embarrassed to show something like this to anyone.

They would think someone would think they were stupid.

My god.

Why would he want to put his giant name right in the middle?

[flying-skeleton]

20. That's what I call a 5 Finger Salute to the ShitGibbon himself !!

[flying-skeleton]

For a FIVE FINGER SALUTE picture

[Bradical79]

[sinkingfeeling]

23. I'll bid one cent.

[DesertRat]

24. He makes W look like Rembrandt.

[torius]

25. The ridged one

in the center is clearly a broken Cheeto.

[Skittles]

28. his signature looks like a Klan rally

[Docreed2003]

29. My seven year old did a drawing of the Nashville skyline

It was supremely better than whatever that crap is...I mean that's not even recognizable as freaking NYC

[3catwoman3]

30. As already noted by many, it looks...

...like a combination of (very crudely and primitively rendered) erect penises and middle finger salutes.

[roamer65]

31. Whomever buys it should burn it.
