President Trump’s claim that some of the Epstein files are ‘made up’ by Democrats and the FBI makes a lot more sense now.
When President Trump first started ranting, really out of nowhere, about the so-called “Epstein files” being “made up” by his Democrat predecessors, as well as former F.B.I. Director James Comey, it was bizarre and suspiciously defensive. It’s now a lot less weird and a lot less suspicious.
The Wall Street Journal reported Thursday on a “leather-bound book” containing, among other things, a doodle of a naked woman’s body framing an odd “typewritten” note, both supposedly penned by Trump and addressed to convicted child sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein in 2003. The Journal called the letter and illustration “bawdy” and described the signature as “a squiggly ‘Donald’ below [the drawing’s] waist, mimicking pubic hair.”
The typed text was reportedly written in the third person and as a cryptic dialogue between the president and Epstein:
Voice Over: There must be more to life than having everything.
Donald: Yes, there is, but I won’t tell you what it is.
Jeffrey: Nor will I, since I also know what it is.
Donald: We have certain things in common, Jeffrey.
Jeffrey: Yes, we do, come to think of it.
Donald: Enigmas never age, have you noticed that?
Jeffrey: As a matter of fact, it was clear to me the last time I saw you.
Donald: A pal is a wonderful thing. Happy Birthday — and may every day be another wonderful secret.
Trump told the Journal that the note, included in a book allegedly compiled for Epstein’s 50th birthday, was fraudulent. “I never wrote a picture in my life. I don’t draw pictures of women,” he said. “It’s not my language. It’s not my words.”
I have no idea whether the note is legitimate. We know Trump did have at least some semblance of a relationship with Epstein that goes back to the early 1990s, but so did a lot of people, and Trump said in 2019 that he had not spoken with him for about 15 years prior to that.
We also know that this all sounds almost exactly like another story involving the F.B.I. and a newly discovered document that was damaging to Trump: the case of Paul Manafort and the “black ledger.”
Recall that in August 2016, just after Trump secured the Republican nomination for president, the New York Times broke the story about allegations of secret foreign payments “designated for” Manafort, Trump’s highly effective campaign adviser. The purpose was clearly to demonstrate a link between Russia and Trump, using Manafort’s business dealings in Ukraine. Manafort denied the thrust of the story, but more importantly, the details of how the Times obtained the information were preposterous.
According to the Times, an anti-corruption agency in Ukraine (an oxymoron if there ever was one) just so happened upon the “black ledger” after it was supposedly obtained “when protestors ransacked” an office in Kiev way back in 2014. Words and monetary figures in the compilation of records were all handwritten and purportedly included details of payments for Manafort. Coincidentally, the agency that said it found the book has what the Times called “an evidence-sharing agreement with the F.B.I.”
Around that same time, guess what the F.B.I. was doing. Ah, yes, it was lying on court warrant applications to spy on Trump’s campaign while also working alongside the Democrat nominee’s campaign to further associate Trump with Russia!
This is the same F.B.I. that has been handling the Epstein case. And so here we are. Another seedy book turns up out of nowhere to associate Trump with criminal conduct. What a coincidence.
Manafort was forced out of his role in the Trump campaign, and he ultimately went to prison. What followed were another three years of Democrat and media-driven Russia hysteria, all centered on the fabricated accusation that Trump was an asset of a foreign adversary.
The two events are almost comically identical. An office space in Ukraine was pillaged by political activists, but what luck! A little paper book was eventually recovered — oh, my! Inside is damaging information associated with Trump! In 2025, as Trump set about quickly restructuring the executive branch of the federal government and attempting to hold corrupt Democrats accountable, well, I’ll be — a leather-bound book that makes him look like the dear friend of a notorious pedophile.
By the way, the Ukrainian government itself admitted that the ledger was thin evidence against Manafort, with the anti-corruption bureau saying in a statement in 2016, “We emphasize that the presence of P. Manafort’s name in the list does not mean that he actually got the money.” And subsequent reporting by the Times acknowledged that the ledger may very well have been fraudulent, noting in 2022 that there was “the view within the Ukrainian government that a Trump presidency would be potentially ruinous, and the admission that the ledger had not been fully authenticated and did not prove actual payments made to Manafort.”
I think I understand what Trump was saying about the Epstein files being “made up” now.

Excellent approach—and agree it would have made this a non issue—especially with a detailed DOJ report documenting support for the claim and recommending indictments against those who created the fraudulent documents.

Epstein Victim Compensation Program established by the Epstein State has approximately 225 applications. Approximately 150 deemed eligible and 134 accepted payments totaling 125 million dollars.

"an odd 'typewritten' note, both supposedly penned by Trump"- Podesta & Blumenthal, Publishers
So he used it once in a book around 2004…didn’t use it for 11 years….then hasn’t used it again for another 9 years…Riiggght. You do know the lead writer of WSJ article is tied to Mary Jacoby right?
The following scenario seems plausible: Twenty years ago Ghislaine Maxwell was rounding up cards for Epstein’s 50th birthday. If Trump dragged his feet, she might have created the card and either bugged Trump into signing it, or signed it for him. Your comment about needing to see all the cards (and even how they were bound) is dead on. The motive could have been as simple as wanting a good showing to please Epstein — or as cynical as helping Epstein create the appearance of connections with wealthy people to impress/entice others into his circle.
Go to the greeting card section of any drugstore, and you will find it loaded with smutty greeting cards.
Another reason why DJT MUST release all files ASAP. Until he does and in that release points out all the legit holes (e.g., some judge who has sealed records ) where someone else can go get info; the DNC will leak crappola like this forever.
Release or the midtems will be a bloodbath.

They call real things like laptops, fake, and fake things like this, real.
Woe unto those who call evil good, and good evil; who put darkness for light, and light for darkness; who put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter!
You got to be kidding me. No one would create false documents, books or dossiers to smear a sitting President. This is only done in third world banana republics.
“”“We emphasize that the presence of P. Manafort’s name in the list does not mean that he actually got the money.” “”
And yet he still was charged and went to prison. And for mortgage fraud, as well. My, my... ain’t it funny how Republicans always get jail time while Democrats (Leticia James, Adam Schiff) always seem to skate free as birds. Vultures, that is.
“Paul Manafort prison sentence
Paul Manafort’s prison sentence has been a significant aspect of his legal troubles. After being sentenced to 47 months in federal prison for tax and bank fraud, he received an additional 43 months for conspiracy charges. This brings his total sentence to 7.5 years in prison. Manafort’s legal issues continue as he faces charges in New York related to residential mortgage fraud. His legal troubles have been a topic of public interest, reflecting the lengths to which he attempted to conceal his illegal activities.”

Nonsense. Trump himself is already changing the narrative on this. Your call for blind faith in the "dear leader" not only smacks of North Korea, it's completely out-of-character with his MAGA base, and entirely impossible acheive anyway.
Let's deal with reality instead.

Used it in a book and also on video. Having said that, do I think this letter is real? I don’t really know and I don’t give it much weight.
2015 was the last time he used it right around the time they where creating the fake Russian dossier with the same group of actors no coincidence at all
The card from President Trump is 100% real. It was found sitting on a fireplace mantle on Lolita Island, right where President Clinton posed in a dress for his portrait. The FBI confiscated it just a few weeks after Epstein died because they forgot to gather evidence before charging him. And it just slipped everyone’s mind until now that they had found this personal note from the sitting president.
And NYC homeless people have come forward to share their eyewitness testimony that they saw similar artwork in Trump’s limo when he used to pull over to beat them up. But they wish to remain anonymous.
Anyone who says otherwise is spreading Russian disinformation and colluding with this convicted criminal in the White House.
