If you listened to the rest of the media — both mainstream and social media — you would think Donald Trump was on the skids, that MAGA was at last turning on the president over the so-called Epstein Files.
But nothing could be further from the truth, according to polling the president crowed about over the weekend and, also, according to history. Every single time his enemies count him out, Trump roars back with a vengeance.
The latest effort last week to try to smear him as a sexual deviant and damage his marriage by tying him to child sex predator Jeffrey Epstein is a case in point.
The Wall Street Journal story Thursday was tame by comparison to the lurid rumors and wishful thinking that ripped through Washington, DC, and newly anti-Trump Elon Musk’s X all week. The story claimed Trump had contributed a letter to a leather-bound book created for Epstein’s 50th birthday in 2003 by the pervert financier’s gal pal Ghislaine Maxwell.
The typewritten letter reportedly involved an imaginary conversation between Trump and Epstein that included the lines “Enigmas never age” and “Happy Birthday — and may every day be another wonderful secret.”
In its description of the letter, which it did not publish, the WSJ said there was also a doodle of a naked woman and Trump’s signature. Trump denied writing the letter or drawing the picture, calling it “FAKE,” before launching a $10 billion libel action.
Trump said: “These are not my words, not the way I talk.”
I can’t express my own views about the merits or otherwise of the story for legal reasons since The Post and the WSJ share the same parent company.
But I can say it’s a nothing burger. So what if Trump

See the mugshot in this article about Obama’s key first layer team of seditious conspirators. These people did not know what was going on in the smear attempts against Trump and the various efforts to ruin our country, they created and orchestrated them. Glad to see the Iranian citizen and red diaper baby, Valerie Jarrett, included in that composite image. She is often overlooked. But she has been a keep enabler and advisor to Obama since his early days in Chicago. Ever wonder why Obama was soft on Iran. Well Valerie Jarrett is a leading reason.

It will be interesting to see who flees the country.
We wanted info released about pervert Democrats, not innuendo about Trump.
I wouldn’t say anything has died down. It was overwhelmed by the “arrest Obama files” and *poof* it’s out of the papers. What has died is the immediate clamor. Anyone who takes that for a sign of extinction is foolishly mistaken.
First of the year: “The Epstein client list is on my desk.” Pam Bondi
This is a categorically true fact. She is on video saying it.

“There is no Epstein client list.” The Department of Justice, this month.
Everyone agrees that Trump cannot be hurt by the list. Agreed.
Then why not decide, “OK. Yeah, it exists”. And release it?
>Because we urinologists enjoy having people pee on our legs and tell us it is raining
If you remember when Obama left office , he stayed in Washington DC at a new residence vowing to continue his work and moved Jarrett in with he and Michelle.
Miranda Devine is hitting the cooking sherry again.
“It will be interesting to see who flees the country.”
Maybe they’ll go hide out in South Africa with Hunter.
Barack can visit relative in Kenya.
Logic says the client list is simply contained in the phone list. Most people in the phone list weren’t “clients”. Only Maxwell knows the minority who were bad actors.
Detshowitz said the list was the affidavits signed in court.
“Miranda Devine is hitting the cooking sherry again.”
Your reply is proof that us conservatives seem to have a bad habit of participating in circular firing squads. I don’t think there is a better journalist out there than Miranda Divine.
If you still have faith in “journalists”, you’ve missed the memo...
The way that Trump, Pam Barbie et al. handled the “Epstein” situation was beyond terrible, it was horrendous, and if anyone is guilty of engaging in “circular firing squads” it’s them.
With all the magnificent accomplishments the President’s admin is accomplishing it’s beyond sad that “they” made Epstein such an important issues, especially given the difficult nature of compiling evidence (including exculpatory FACTS), which then would need months of grand jury adjudication to even find out who was prosecutable under the law.
The behavior of Barbie & Kash was nauseatingly irrespsonsible, which was then cosigned by Trump...
Perhaps it’s a faint, kayfabe, but it has taken the wind out of the MAGA movement.
I hope & pray that “they” turn it around ~ Only time will tell..
“Detshowitz said the list was the affidavits signed in court.”
That won’t excite the Gossip Grannys either.
Even Wayne Gretzky occasionally had a bad game.
That won’t excite the Gossip Grannys either.

Don’t even try. Epstein has been in the consciousness for decades. The administration promised transparency and cannot brush it under the rug without appearing to be hiding something or protecting someone. It’s not “gossip”, so quit trying to denigrate those who are demanding to know who the criminals are. It’s major crime.
Change the name "Epstein" to "Cosby" and the same applies to all the people in Hollywood who were "friends" with Bill Cosby for all those years before he was convicted of date-raping drugged young women.
Are all those Hollywood stars now tainted because of their prior associations with Cosby?

No one is above the law except Epstein and his buddies. Who in the Bush admin made the decision not to prosecute Epstein and why in 2008.
Mike Benz is hot on the intelligence trail but as posters point out he curiously leaves out Israel. He focuses on CIA.
Something is very wrong about Epstein. Trump is so forcefully against investigating Epstein I have to wonder if he being blackmailed.
Bondi can easily get pertinent information without a Judge.
Btw, JD Vance flew to see Murdoch on his ranch a few days before the WSJ article.
