Donald Trump told a sketch artist Thursday that he needed to “lose some weight” after viewing her courtroom drawing of him, according to a report.
The former president spoke briefly with a group of courtroom artists, checking out their sketches of him observing testimony from the defense table at the $250 million civil fraud trial against him.
The real estate tycoon told one artist, Jane Rosenberg, “Nice” after inspecting her depiction of him, she told ABC News.
Trump, 77, then turned to look at artist Isabelle Brourman’s work, saying, “Wow, amazing.”
“Gotta lose some weight,” Brourman recalled him commenting after viewing her work.
Last month, his son Donald Trump Jr. also chatted up the courtroom sketch artists when he testified at trial.
Just last month, Trump’s weight made headlines when it was revealed in ex-House Republican Conference Chair Liz Cheney’s book that Rep. Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) made a special trip to Trump’s Mar-a-Lago to cheer up the former president who wasn’t eating because of his 2020 election loss.
“They’re really worried,” McCarthy told Cheney (R-Wyo.) who was furious about the visit. “Trump’s not eating, so they asked me to come see him.”
“He’s really depressed,” McCarthy added.
Trump campaign spokesperson Steven Cheung denied Cheney’s tale, claiming she was “lying in order to sell a book.”
The frontrunner GOP presidential candidate attended trial Thursday as his lawyers called Eli Bartov, a professor of accounting at NYU, who testified that the New York Attorney General’s case against Trump had “no merit.”
Trump has confirmed that he will testify Monday as the last witness in the defense case, though the judge is not expected to issue a verdict in the non-jury trial until early next year.
Trump has denied the AG’s allegations and has repeatedly claimed — including several times on Thursday — that he’s a victim of a political witch hunt.
