A sketch of the Manhattan skyline from the pen of Donald Trump is up for auction against an opening bid price of $9,000.
The “very rare” doodle of New York’s famous outline, which features Trump Tower, is up for grabs through Nate D. Sanders Auctions.
The US President’s 11.5-by-9-inch drawing is completed with his now famous “Donald J. Trump” signature in gold.
The auction house notes:
“Light smudge and abrasion to right side, otherwise near fine condition. Originally drawn by Trump for a charity event, and very rare, with only a handful of such drawings known.”
His signature has been immortalised since assuming office in January, with Trump wasting no time in dashing off a series executive actions, which effectively allow him to create new laws.
The orders, signed amid media fanfare and with the President surrounded by jubilant supporters, have included a five-year lobbying ban for administration officials, a request for a plan to take down ISIS, and the much-delayed Muslim travel ban.
The tableau gave rise to an incredibly popular Twitter feed called @TrumpDraws, which turned a clip of the moment of executive action into simple, child-like sketches of everyday objects and the big news events of the day.
In light of the sketch, they don’t seem too far off reality.
