The Epstein Files: Donald Trump as con artist AND sketch artist (Joined at the Hip Once Upon a Time, chapter 4)

Cameron Adams reports:
In a Wall Street Journal article about a letter and drawing allegedly sent to Epstein for his 50th birthday in 2003, the president’s emphatic denial includes the statement, “I never wrote a picture in my life.” 
In a flurry of frantic Truth Social posts on Thursday night, Trump doubled down on his lack of artistic skills. “These are not my words, not the way I talk. Also, I don’t draw pictures.” 
The internet, though, always keeps the receipts—and there were some hefty clues that Trump may not be telling the truth. 
In his 2008 book, Trump Never Give Up: How I Turned My Biggest Challenges into Success, Trump wrote about his “new talent,” adding he usually draws for charity and that “it takes me a few minutes to draw something, in my case, it’s usually a building or a cityscape of skyscrapers.”
He continued: “Art may not be my strong point, but the end result is help for people who need it.”
