#Trump #Court #CourtSketch
The one thing we can say for certain....Trump is NOT praying when his eyes are closed...
Nor meditating!
Savoring his own flatulence?
@@leonskum6864 "everybody loves their own brand" 😂
Amen!
Prolly imagining that one night in Bangkok.
oh stop with the meditating......he is possibly the last person on earth that would ever meditate.
Instead of "Ohmmmmm", he'd say "Meeeeeeee"
Scheming ...the next grift
@@Lv-nq9qz🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
@@Lv-nq9qz 😂 Hahaha. Nailed it.
Not meditating. This narcissist pretends to sleep as an avoidance method. He can escape into a position others won’t go. I’d splash a pitcher of cold water in his face. I bet he comes up fighting. Not like someone waking from a nap.
I appreciate that she not only captures the moment but her art is also capturing Trump’s Dark and Depraved Soul! Good Job 👍
"Art"? Well, I guess people who know absolutely nothing about art might think so. To a trained artist, she stinks.

How does anyone 'disagree' with a courtroom sketch?? It's a cult
There all paid off and meet with kamala, it's disgusting, look at pics with all these fools , media matters, packman, look at pictures , they meet with kackling kamala , it's all disinformation to make anyone look bad Hope your next , 1 day of being targeted by these communist you would cry for daddy

@@user-xl7kx7bi3lWhy? You offended by how the 🍊🍄really looks like?
They simply don't understand that real people don't see him through -rose- orange-tinted glasses the way they do.
Imagine being such a snowflake that you get upset enough to harass/threaten a courtroom sketch artist because the artist isn’t a cult member and just draws what she sees. So pathetic.
The problem is what everyone sees looks like a lizard!
Imagine being such a snowflake you complain about fake threats.

@@zdwadeimagine being such a beta that the idea of fake news is your fear because the guy who creates fake news told you it should be. Fascinating.
People act like they've never seen a courtroom sketch before. This artist is doing a great job.
I don't particularly like her sketching style.
No. she isn't. We have court room artists out here on the West Coast whose drawings are practically photographic. Clear, exact, actually look like the subjects.
@@rjlchristie That's fair. This style is pretty standard, but it's not for everyone.
Looking for new art? The new book "Trump lost like a dog" is out! and it is selling like pancakes 🥞🥞🥞🥞😂😂🥞🥞🥞🥞
Every artist has their own unique style. Some don't understand individual expression.
This lady IS a wonderful public servant and brava! The sketches do contain so much feeling!! 🎨
Well observed. That's a nice compliment for you to extend the illustrator. Very kind of you to pass on. Respectfully Yours Gregg Oreo Long Beach CA Etats Unis
Sending the emails to the FBI should be standard practice. Even if someone doesn't go after her, the next artist might not be so lucky. Law enforcement should be informed.
The artist is great! She’s capturing history with every sketch.
Absolutely. She’s a good artist and very interesting person. I hope she’s being well compensated for her work!
@@Trund27 Maybe one day she will write a book with all of great drawings she has done.
Is that a JOKE? I did better sketches than this in art school that I THREW AWAY afterwards.
@@LolaLaRue-sq6jm Why not try your hand at being a court sketch artist then? It pays quite well.
@@LolaLaRue-sq6jm I bet you didn't have to make one sketch after another in a very short time.
I’ve been enjoying Ms Rosenberg’s work very much. She’s extremely talented. She is working under a great deal of pressure. ❤
You think? I know personally 10 people who are waaay better artists. None of those people are drawn anything at all like the look.
@@stutzbearcat5624 How many of these artists make their livings as court room artists?
Her work is terrible and grotesque. So that fits Trump perfectly.
@@stutzbearcat5624 if you put those 10 artists you know under the same conditions, they will likely struggle as well. As a court artist, you have a limited time to draw and often have terrible view points that are far away from the subject. And most annoyingly, none of your subjects stay still! It's hard when you've already started drawing them in a position and they move. So you have to remember and/or use your imagination or start again.
How does she deal the urge to puke? Brave Lady!
Ms. Rosenberg- Thank you for your documentation of this, and other, historic trials. You work is wonderful and very helpful to the nation.
What a fun job! You’re reporting news with your drawings
Yes! Thank you!
The far left needs to put Americans before Israeli interests.
it's awful,
Her work would be "wonderful " If she was 5 years old. I think she comes to work drunk.
She needs protection. She is doing her job but some lunatics thinks it is okay to threaten her just because they disagree with her sketches.
The poorly educated.

@@josephjones825 Nice to see one grandmother giving another advice!😃
@@b.t.2795evil poorly educated
Jane, thank you for the documentation of history. We'd be "blind" without your sketches. Please ask for protection 🙏
As I was watching this, I realize I need to get a life. Watching this type of minutiae is not a good use of time. I long for the day I can ignore politics again because democracy is safe.
I’ve limited my own consumption of political content to a couple hours each day lately. And that’s mostly podcasts.
You're right.
Interesting. I've been regretting that I paid so little attention to politics, thinking that democracy will take care of itself. Maybe if I'd taken my civic responsibility more serious, watched closer, gotten involved, some of the vile trends that have come to fruition over the last 8 years could have been prevented.
@@xelamercedesBoth can be true. "this type of minutiae" is a bit overboard, and not a great use of time. We all definitely need to stay informed, watch closer, and take our civic responsibilities seriously. Democracy is hard, but so worth it.
Amen, me too!
I think she nails him. He scowls and he looks imperious with his chin tilted up and the corners of his mouth pulled down. She captures exactly how he looks.
Thank you Ms. Rosenberg! Your work is beautiful, captures the moment including the energy.
I think her sketches are iconic. She does a great job with expressions and really captures the mood in the courtroom. I highly doubt any of her critics could do better, especially considering the circumstances. Please stay safe 🙌🏾💛
“That’s not mine,” she said as they showed another artist’s work. 🤦🏻♀️ I don’t think anyone in the news room even noticed. As an artist myself i thought it looked different.
Yeah, that artist rendered in blended pastels, which takes more time, and lends a calmness to the scene. Whereas, Ms Rosenberg's drawings are sketchy, which depicts a more appropriate anxiety.
The jury was visible, also. There’s no way a picture of the jury - even just lightly sketched - would be allowed in this case.
Yeah, that one image with all the soft pastel colors was by another courtroom artist, Christine Cornell. Her style is totally different from Jane's. CNN made the same mistake but in reverse. CNN showed Jane Rosenberg's sketches during an interview with Christine.
@@irenafarmI don't think they draw the jury.
Jane’s work is brilliant. She captures so much of the emotions. Thank you Jane.
Not that Dolt 45 needs any help looking ridiculous, but you do a fabulous job 👏
👍
She is doing a great job considering the conditions and pressure, however, we REALLY NEED cameras to capture everything.
We women need to stop worrying about what people are going to think if we complain. If you feel threatened, speak up!
Yes! Report it. Protect others.
She makes him look too good, IMO 😂
If she threw mud at a wall it would surely compliment him.
One of her drawings is complete nightmare fuel. It’s the one of him turning around grinning like a ghoul.
@@irenafarm Realistic?
You know what this post needs? A crybaby to come in and cry about if he she drew a picture of Joe or Hunter, it would look worse. lololololol
There is no question that the United States as a country, along with the rest of the world, is in much better shape right now with a strong honest leader like Biden as the president of the United States.
Your saying "there's no question of" is a sure sign that you're lying (as usual)
It’s not a lie by any metric that America is in much better shape as a country with Biden as president.
I know you are but what am I is what everyone sounds to me.
@@josephjones825another silly response
@josephjones825: Your interpretation of what other people say is a sure sign that u never made it to college . Typical .
I'm absolutely terrified about the possibility of a bloodbath if he is not convicted. The only way out of this is to vote blue no matter who. 💙💙

You said if not convicted. The blue wants a conviction even when there’s no crime. Baloney and you just verified it. Vote Red save our country from Biden and his dangerous open borders
I love your artwork of the people involved in and around the courts of America, outstanding work. I'm neutral and it's very good.

its horrrible and inappropriate

She is the best. I can see the likeness with the expressions. Excellent.
@@briant3404 inappropriate??
Just FYI, closing your eyes (and maybe even falling asleep) is classic avoidance behavior. When what you are siting through pains you psychologically, this is how you escape (if you are prevented from physically leaving the room).
No-just FYI - it’s childish.. I can’t see you + you can’t see me
Trumps closed eyes are akin to Darrel Brooks building a fort around himself in his trial to hide from the judge. Its hard to say out of both of those guys who is the biggest cry hard brooks or Trump
Jane Rosenberg really should report all disturbing or intimidating emails to the FBI.
We're glad you're there ❤
---- < Jane Rosenberg, Thanks for being in the courtroom and providing your art.
Jane Rosenberg is the best courtroom artist. I love her work. It looks like real art and journalistic at the same time.
Court rooms are highly controlled by specific interests not putting Americans first
I can't believe they wouldn't have thought to try to keep her identity hidden.
The court artist job must be intense to capture moments in a trial with very little time and supplies. BTW. I can't believe this trial is not filmed for everyone to see....
It would be a nightmare for the DNC.
Unfortunately due to New York law cameras and audio recording equipment aren’t allowed in the courtrooms even on such high profile cases like this one
Wait for the movie. Trump's Fawlty Towers, Parts I & II. Giuliani will play himself as the bar's floor drain. 🤓
But it is being audiotaped. I hope they release them sometime (hopefully not in 30 years).
@@seanschisler4287 You meant the RNC. FIFY.
The drawings will be masterpieces of History.... 😮
Rosenberg needs to put Americans before Israeli interests. Not credible
If the sketch Artist 👨🎨 has been threatened, doesn't this situation violate his Gag Order
Her clarifying “That’s not mine” at 4:04 was adorable 😂
This is the first time I've ever seen a federal court illustrator harassed. There are very few cases I can count where this has happened in prior years.
You can thank democrats for that. They ginned up this legal action.
@@X2LR8 Liar.
@@marshwetland3808 Even your friend Fareed agrees with me.
I'm 64 yo and I don't recall anytime ever where a court sketch artist was threatened. It would be hilarious, if it wasn't reality.
Trust it to be from tRump and his maggots. They harass, threaten and bully people who actually do their jobs.
Jane Rosrnberg IS THE BEST SKETCH-ARTIST👏 of them all! Thank you so much for SHARING YOUR VIEWS WITH US 🙏
Her work is terrible and grotesque. Utterly without talent. So that fits Trump perfectly.
I’m telling you here- SNL is going to do a court artists sketching Mark my words!!
Great sketch idea!
The sketch artist interrupts the judge because she has to run to the art supply store for more orange.

I think the trial pictures are hilarious. I really hope she is allowed to release a book of them.
Once the trial is over, no reason not to.
5/17/24: Jane Rosenberg’s courtroom sketches are wonderful, capturing the essence of each subject! Thanks, Jane!
There are a lot of very grateful people (I'm one of them), Ms. Rosenberg, for your courtroom drawings. You're very talented. Thank you so much for your professionalism and helping us to understand the vibe in the room. Have a blessed day. 💙
This must be a happy Mother’s Day in Melania’s house.
Give her a break she has to draw at mach speed with alot of pressure on her.
Thank you for spotlighting this important work by Jane Rosenberg! In this digital age it’s great to witness history-making through hand drawn oil pastels. Brilliant!
I hope you will be including jail bars soon!
Thanks lady! Draw the goosebumps if he's really that cold!
Donald Trump is often closing his eyes as an attempt to escape accountability. I'm sure he also falls asleep plenty, as has been noted by many astute journalists, but I also believe w/some of it, the Stormy Daniels testimony for instance, it's just a way of closing out the reality of what's happening in the case. He's a fragile man w/a fragile ego.
Boredom is more like it
@@chrisward4576 Right. Like you would sleep through criminal charges against you.
@@michaelfrank2266 Even the most gruesome murder trials have boring parts. Like going over billing records and proving who said what to whom and when, and here's an accounting entry for that.

She should always report odd or threatening communication she receives. She should never fear for her safety. Imagine if something should happen and she never reported those inappropriate messages.
Thanks for your service !
Keep up the good work Jane Rosenberg and you should share any threats made by MAGA with the police and the FBI.
Rosenberg Israeli interests not for Americans best interests
Her biggest challenge is that the people that make the colored pencils, dont make that shade of orange.
lol! 😂
You mean BABY POO ORANGE isn't a color?
Why are democrats so obsessed with skin color?
Some sources say the sketch artists use pastels, not colored pencils. Pastels, when skillfully used, can put down lots of color and line very quickly - which is vital when trying to capture fleeting moments. Colored pencils are fine for more detailed work, but much slower.
Why are democrats so obsessed with skin color?
Keep up with the great work that you have been doing Jane. These court room sketches are excellent.
She doesn't look old enough to have been on the case for John Lennon's murder.
What a talented sketch artist. The caricature aspect of her drawings are edgy and relfect the mood of the her subject
This artist is fantastic.
Wouldn't need a sketch artist if the trial was televised.
I think your work is great, thank you for your service.
JR is doing a great job ♥🇬🇧
She captures emotion and moments in time. Her likenesses are very good. She captures the gist of those she draws.
I’d like to see all the sketches in a coffee table book.
'Character' in his face ? All I see is arrogance, conceit, intimidation, cruelty and evil. Are we talking about the same criminal defendant?
“Character” as in expression. As in “he’s quite a character.” Not as in “good character.” Anything but that!
What was so bad about President Trump?
I guess her critics want him portrayed like he is in those ridiculous NFT’s he was selling.
Surreally self-idolatrously apotheotic fakes, to market an old sow's ear as a silk purse.
Her job is to capture what's going on in the courtroom. Bad, good, positive, negative, etc... These cultists are insane.
Her charcoal and chalk sketches are "gestive" excellent, as to capture personae contours, mood, energy levels and emotion, and the overall courtroom scene. Nuanced expressive realism.
SNL needs to look no further for material for sketches- here’s a cheat sheet--> 1. Lawyer Necklace 2. RFKs worm 3. Stormy weather
Omg!!! Good ones. I hope they do all three of your ideas.
She should draw trump as Mr. Hankey with a red tie

She's gifted -- wish cameras could come in for a few minutes and capture some scenes for us.
Thank You! I like your sketches!
She needs protection.
It's hard to sketch a slithering snake! Your art is great! :)
I think the artist is both skilled and extremely generous with her renderings of the beast in question.
I saw a Business Insider video about a company that makes pastels for fine artists --- they're known for having over 2000 colors and always making more when their clients need something special. Henri Roché.
A fine job, but keep your doors locked, Trump's Hammer Squad are considered rough critics.
I lover her depiction of trump!
I agree with the sketch artist's friend who said she should report the threats to the FBI. I am concerned for her safety.
Sorry, I think the artist is foolish for not advising the FBI regarding the emails. By not doing so, i believe it empowers them
JAIL FOR DONNIE
Israel interests only no American patriot
Not happening. They’ve been telling you this since the Russian collusion hoax but yet you still trust MSNBC to provide accurate reporting. 🐑
If anything, her sketches are too flattering considering the horrible faces he makes in real life.
I like that her work is an interoperation of the event that tries not just to be a literal hand drawn version of a photograph but she's trying to convey the emotions at play. That is a work of art, not just an illustration. Hope she stays safe.
And these drawings are going to be in the history books for a very very long time. Hundreds or perhaps thousands of years.
As a Republican all I care about is making up nicknames for President Biden. It’s way more important than stopping trumps crimes, securing our border or helping the economy.

And who listens to Bill Maher anymore? He went off the deep end a long time ago.
People are so dumb. “You draw guy I like from the teevees and I don’t like drawling so I’m mad at you.”
It might help if she wore her glasses... she apparently 'sees' the courtroom in a messy blur.
In another interview, she says that shes so far away from the front of the court room that she sometimes needs to use binoculars.
Trump's hair and face are a messy blur.
Her Stormy Daniels picture looks like Mary Trump. I'd be upset too, Stormy.
Well Trump told Stormy that she looked like Ivanka Trump
Trump saw Ivanka when he was, you know, the thing?
@@Sandman-001 is that what happens to men when they are, the thing?!

We shouldn't have court room sketches. We should have this case livestreamed, or AT LEAST aired with like a10 min delay so they could blur faces if they felt it was necessary. This is one of the most important cases in US history, it could be the first to send a former President to jail or even prison. The American people should be able to see the proceedings.

it's sooo much easier to just hire a photographer and let him/her document everything. i dont understand how in 2024, court still needs an artist to speed draw the proceeding.
