‘BLONDE ELVIS’: Trump Courtroom Sketch Artist Enrages MSNBC As She Raves About ‘Handsome’ Trump

On Tuesday, Christine Cornell, a seasoned courtroom artist, shared her unique insights on 45th President Donald Trump during her three-decade-long career. In an interview with MSNBC's Ari Melber, Cornell revealed, "He hasn't been able to come anywhere near any press person... to have any kind of conversation or to feel a little bit of humanity." When asked whether she had spoken with Trump during previous trials, Cornell responded, "Always." 

"Well, how would he talk to you?" Melber asked. Cornell instantly lit up, smiled, and said, "Ah, he would tell me that I was his personal courtroom artist. He liked that I made him look like his blonde Elvis." "Blonde Elvis?" asked Melber. "Yes, this was back in the early eighties," Cornell said. Melber tried to change the subject, saying, "I would, on redirect, have to ask if there was some delusion at play. You know?" "Well, he was a good-looking guy," Cornell explained of Trump. "Okay. Respect," Melber responded.

In July, Trump overflowed the town of Pickens, South Carolina, with a crowd over 20 times larger than the town's population. Pickens, South Carolina, has a population of 3,371, according to the United States Census Bureau. Trump revealed in a post on his top-rated social media platform, Truth Social, that over 75,000 supporters attended his rally despite temperatures being over 90 degrees. "Rachel Campos-Duffy and Will Cain, two terrific people (along with Pete Hegseth!), were right this morning on Fox & Friends. Almost 99% of the people I support in a Republican Primary, WIN! 'A Trump Endorsement will MAKE YOUR CAREER, A TRUMP FIGHT MAKES IT VERY DIFFICULT!'" Trump wrote.

"Over 75,000 people came to our incredible Rally yesterday in South Carolina, despite an almost 100-degree temperature. It was amazing, THE PEOPLE WERE GREAT. Thank you Pickens," Trump added. Trump spoke at 1 PM, and supporters began lining up for the rally a day prior. During Trump's rally in Pickens, Elvis Presley's "If I Can Dream" song was played to a massive audience of over 75,000.

Elvis Presley's biggest concert ever was in 1976 and was attended by over 60,000 people in the Pontiac Silverdome. The King of Rock and Roll and American icon performed 1,684 concerts, and the Pontiac Silverdome event was his largest, with 15,000 fewer people than Trump's South Carolina rally. Trump is a successful music artist now, too! In March, Trump topped all music charts with his January 6 Prison Choir song, even beating Taylor Swift.

Is there anything Trump can't do? President Trump, who's a fan of Elvis, awarded Elvis the Medal of Freedom. During the 2018 White House event, Trump played Presley's gospel song "How Great Thou Art." "There was Elvis. That was my idea. I said, 'Give me a little, little song.' That was, I guess, a little promotional ability, but I will tell you, he was something special," Trump said.
