BIG! BLOCKBUSTER! BAM! WSJ Epstein/Trump Exclusive Is a Big Dud. But Where Did It Come From?

We already knew that Donald Trump was acquainted with Jeffrey Epstein. The two were both young New York City multi-millionaires back in the day and ran with some of the big dogs in a big town. There are photos of Epstein with Trump and his then-girlfriend, Melania. So one wonders why it would be BLOCKBUSTER news on the pages of the Wall Street Journal that Trump received an invitation to Epstein's 50th birthday before anyone with a badge and gun knew the financier was a sick pervert.

No, really, that's the big news from the Journal that has been leaking out through social media rumors all day long.

The Journal reports in an exclusive story that Trump wrote Epstein a bawdy note for his 50th and drew a picture. It was allegedly contained in a 50th birthday album compiled by Epstein's girlfriend, Ghislaine Maxwell, and shown to the Journal by someone acquainted with this information.

Trump told the Journal that no, that ain't me:

This is not me. This is a fake thing. It's a fake Wall Street Journal story. I never wrote a picture in my life. I don't draw pictures of women. It's not my language. It's not my words.

Now, it's not as if Donald Trump isn't capable of trash-talking. You saw what he said about Rosie O'Donnell. And, being a multi-married man who, in his youth, went to Studio 54 with the beautiful people, Trump's been a loud and proud New Yorker for decades. That he may have attended a big-timer's 50th isn't news.

My colleague at RedState, Joe Cunningham, observes that the note wasn't even authenticated:

Here's what the Journal doesn't tell you: They provide no evidence that this letter was authenticated. No handwriting analysis. No chain of custody documentation. No forensic verification. Just their

So anyone who respects and is grateful for what DJT has done for our Country to right the wrongs done to the people proves your twisted point.

You are sick in the head, what are you doing here anyway?

[unclebankster]

Truth matters in my world. Does it matter in yours?

He’s an anti Trump partisan from way back who is consistently wrong on all of his ludicrous predictions.

For example.

Prior to Biden’s “debate debacle” he showed up talking about conspiracy theories about Melanie leaving/divorcing Trump.

Then quickly went silent after Biden was exposed.

He only pops up when he thinks Trump is in trouble.

Its okay, looks like AIT is getting his lumps, whata Klown,.

Describe how “free world alliances” were “ruined,” exactly.

[This is the core, the essence, of cult-think. Of elevating a man to one infallible step below Jesus Christ, worthy of one’s total unquestioning loyalty. As the solution to one’s personal and one’s own country’s problems. I detest how this moral rot infected my party.] Proudly No-Longer-Trumper, post 2018

The core, the essence of TDS is that Trump can do no right.

I'm proudly no longer that, post October 2016.

If true, that is disappointing.

When truth doesn’t matter, the world is a hopeless mess. What’s ironic is that the mark of a cult is the truth not mattering - to the point that people are not allowed to question whether what is being said is the truth. Trying to verify the truth of an accusation is the very hallmark of someone NOT being in a cult.

I will pray for AmericaninTokyo. Something from 2018 has obviously bothered him. I hope the bitterness doesn’t take over his whole worldview regarding the necessity of insisting on truth.

Yes, Trump did go to Studio 54 and other then “IN” spots;

I worked in NYC during the Studio 54 days.

Every morning on page 2 or 3 of the Daily News and ditto in the after noon in the Post, there were photos of who's who from last night at 54.

It really was the place to be seen for the young lion crowd

.
And Biden’s DOJ hid this?

Yeah, right, okay.

They were going thru his wife’s underwear drawer - but they hid this Politically damaging information?

Yeah, right, sure.

Now also in Daily Mail, they never miss an anti-Trump article:

“There are photos of Epstein with Trump and his then-girlfriend, Melania”

These can easily be faked.

WSJ can now be included with Mediaite, MSLSD, the New York Slimes, the Washington Compost and Al Jazeera.

NONSENSE!

Trump has been invited for a second, UNPRECEDENTED, State Visit to the UK, by King Charles III in this coming September. Other European leaders are on cordial terms with him, even some South American nations are on his side.

NORTH KOREA an ally & friend? NO..but cowed by him!

You're posting utter drivel.

[Reddy]

This is all about dog whistling for the TDS Reddit crowd. They went CrAzY over the news!

[Bethaneidh]

I expect this may damage subscriptions Too bad. Who wants financial news from a tabloid?

[nopardons]

Yes it was and Ivana wanted to be part of it. So she roped in Trump’s young brother and his wife to go there and dragged Trump along. He went, but as he has said, it really wasn’t something he much cared for.

AinT has a long history of trying to seize on opportunities to flip MAGA people to the neverTrump camp.

Doesn’t Murdock own that as well?
