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

LOL And this was the best they could do?

So Trump says much of the Epstein stuff is Fake News...and the WSJ immediately turns around and publishes Epstein stuff which is ridiculously obvious Fake News.

Trump is truly at the point where he can speak things into existence.

Well, good luck to you.

Trump, first term and six months into his second term has done what no other president could do.

Validate your parking on the way out.

At least you’re up-front with your hatred of President Trump. That is preferable to the passive-aggressive Trump haters and TDS victims on Free Republic.

also, spoiler alert: If someone is a step below Jesus Christ — that person isn’t infallible.

Perhaps you should pontificate to those who are weak-minded

Sorry you’ve turned out the lights. Trump hasn’t even scratched the surface yet.

He has ruined free world alliances around the world. If that’s your objective, pat yourself on the back. He’s persona non grata now here in Asia except in North Korea perhaps. Congrats.

Are you saying that waiting to find out whether accusations are lies is being “cultish” - as opposed to the Ten Commandments which say that we shall not bear false witness against our neighbor?

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

A confusing mess out there tonight all coming down at the same time.

The end of that interview exculpatory regarding Trump and critical of Mark Levin.

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

Yes. He did. Until he told her to stop. And now today it’s back on.

the messaging was a huge ambitious blunder, and Bondi never conveyed a convincing sense of ownership over the matter

“Mary Comey clearly was in on this”
I was thinking the same.
Her dad was probably in on it too.
Did the card have sea shells on it?

A lot of MAGA folks blame Bondi for the flip flopping. But she is only doing what Trump tells her to do.

“He has ruined free world alliances around the world. “

Nonsense. Let’s see it your way. By your lights, making the NATO moochers provide for their own defense is ruining the alliance.

You aren’t taking the Trump Era very well and are consistently wrong on your predictions.

Congrats.

That is how Trump designed his Administration...Bondi is a push button.
