A drawing of Trump was sold at auction for $30,000 in 2017.

A drawing with a panorama of New York City, centered on the image of the Trump Tower, created by US President Donald Trump, was sold at auction in the same city in 2017. This follows from the data of the American auction house from California, Nate D. Sanders Auctions.

In the source data, it is indicated that the drawing was sold at auction at a cost close to $ 30 thousand. The very fact of the sale already contradicts Donald Trump's statements that he "does not paint," which The Wall Street Journal (WSJ) cites against the background of discussions about Trump's possible connection with financier Jeffrey Epstein, convicted of sexual exploitation of minors.

Fake blues: The White House turned the publication of the "Epstein files" from a sensation into a huge failure

Someone saw the incident as a PR disaster, someone saw it as sabotage.

The WSJ reported on July 17 that Trump presented Epstein with a letter with a nude woman on his 50th birthday. It was clarified that the letter contains birthday greetings and wishes that Epstein's every day would be filled with wonderful secrets. The American leader, in turn, denies that this is his letter and drawing.
