Fox News’ The Five co-host Jessica Tarlov recently expressed shock on Monday at how charitable the courtroom sketches of former President Donald Trump have been via Media Ite.
During a discussion about Trump’s mounting legal troubles, Tarlov said:
“It also seems that he doesn’t — and this has happened to him before — have a top notch legal team with him. He has the one lawyer who he had to pay in advance because he stiffs everybody, and then he has Alina Habba, who gives a great cable news hit. I mean she’s been on Jesse’s show a bunch of times. But it seems that she forgot, or just I don’t know what happened, to check the box saying that they wanted a jury trial, and then Donald Trump is complaining to the cameras and on Truth Social that it is un-American to have a trial without a jury when his own crackpot team asked for that.”
“Can I point out one thing?” asked co-host Greg Gutfeld, as a courtroom sketch of Trump by artist Jane Rosenberg appeared on the screen. “The sketch artist loves Trump.”
Tarlov responded, “It is incredible, but that’s my point. He’s a showman. Even a sketch artist who’s probably like, you know, a local New York Dem can’t help but draw him like that. He loses 20 pounds every indictment.”
In June, another one of Trump’s courtroom sketch artists publicly addressed the critics who argued that he had made the former president look too good.
“Some said he looked too thin, too young, and some said he looked too good,” said artist William J. Hennessy Jr. “I don’t editorialize, I just draw what I see.”
