BIG! BLOCKBUSTER! BAM! WSJ Epstein/Trump Exclusive Is a Big Dud. But Where Did It Come From?
https://pjmedia.com/ ^ | July 17, 2025 | Victoria Taft

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

It’s been increasingly obvious that the WSJ has become just another anti-Trump rag, at least on the news side. This is yet another example.

I’m convinced the Journal made up this letter so as to take advantage of Trump as he only has himself to blame for flip flopping on the Epstein scandal.

Since the Murdoch kids took over the WSJ it has become on par with AP in their obvious hatred for Trump.

Later on in the article Taft speculates that the alleged note to Epstein may have come from James Comey’s daughter who was fired from her prosecutor job in SDNY.

Whoever wrote/fabricated that “dirty birthday message” is a real sicko.

Yes, Trump did go to Studio 54 and other then “IN” spots; however, Ivana dragged him to them...he has stated that they weren’t his “thing”.

Then it’s a Lie.

Was Trump and Bondi lying back then when they said they had the docs and will release them?

Or are they lying now when only stupid weakling people want the docs revealed? Docs they don’t have.

“Trump can do no wrong. “

“Despite whatever evidence emerges.”

[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.]

How did he flip? Did he tell Bondi to release all credible information the whole time.

Without any evidence, WSJ produces a hit article. It’s desperation big time by WSJ.

Does it matter to you whether the evidence is genuine? We’ve seen a lot of “evidence” that is just lies made up by people who want to misrepresent and hurt Trump. Does bearing false witness disturb you?
