Trump’s Epstein Birthday Doodle Is a Sick Joke

Go to Article

Sweet, merciful Baby Jesus. Here we go again. They finally have President Donald Trump Episode #5548, the Epstein Birthday Doodle Edition. Last night, the Wall Street Journal printed the “Epstein Birthday Doodle” allegedly drawn by Donald Trump. That’s a stretch. The Venus de Milo cropped version is the featured image at the top of this post. These PEOPLE are sad and desperate. I call Statute of Limitations. The fakakta doodle is from 2003. 2003! A fakakta birthday doodle.

Back in July, on my birthday, I wrote that I no longer gave a “flying fig” about Jeffrey Epstein. I am sorry for the victims. But anything else, forget about it. This alleged birthday doodle that Donald Trump was supposed to have done for Epstein’s 50th birthday is STOOPID! Making a story of it is STOOPID. The Wall Street Journal is STOOPID. The opening salvos from the Journal’s “Epstein Birthday Doodle” expose:

Lawyers for Jeffrey Epstein’s estate have given Congress a copy of the birthday book put together for the financier’s 50th birthday, which includes a letter with President Trump’s signature that he has said doesn’t exist.

On Monday, House Oversight Committee members confirmed that they received a copy of the birthday book including the letter bearing Trump’s signature and a letter that references Trump with a crude joke about a woman from another Epstein associate.

“President Trump called the Epstein investigation a hoax and claimed that his birthday note didn’t exist. Now we know that Donald Trump was lying and is doing everything he can to cover up the truth,” said Rep. Robert Garcia (D., Calif.), who is the committee’s Democratic ranking member. “Enough of the games and lies, release the full files now.”

The Oversight Committee has released some files they have received from the Justice Department as of September 2:

Today, the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform released 33,295 pages of Epstein-related records that were provided by the U.S. Department of Justice. On August 5, Chairman Comer issued a subpoena for records related to Mr. Jeffrey Epstein, and the Department of Justice has indicated it will continue producing those records while ensuring the redaction of victim identities and any child sexual abuse material.

Whatever will Ranking Member Garcia do when all the papers have been released and he still doesn’t have what he wants. On to the next scandal, I suppose because this is what they are reduced to now….from 2003. And, this drawing is “crude”:

More from the Journal:

The Wall Street Journal in July reported on the book and the letter bearing Trump’s name, which contained typewritten text framed by the outline of a naked woman. The letter concluded: “Happy Birthday — and may every day be another wonderful secret.” The signature was a squiggly “Donald” below the waist, mimicking pubic hair.

Oh my stars and garters, these people are so pervy. I could maybe believe Trump doing the drawing, maybe. But I cannot even begin to see him asking his professional office staff to type up the words inside the drawing.

Trump has denied writing the letter or drawing the picture, calling it “a fake thing.” He also filed a lawsuit against the Journal’s reporters, Journal publisher Dow Jones, parent company News Corp and executives, alleging defamation and saying the letter was “nonexistent.” A Dow Jones spokeswoman said, “We have full confidence in the rigor and accuracy of our reporting.”

If I were with the Journal, I wouldn’t have so much confidence in the rigor and accuracy of the reporting. I think the signature is kind of sketchy too. My signature changes on a daily basis.

Trump has broken all of these people. Including Jonathan Chait with The Atlantic:

The Epstein Letter Is Real, and It’s Bad
The president’s initial strategy of denying that the document exists leaves him with few options now that it has been made public.

When The Wall Street Journal reported two months ago that Donald Trump had written a suggestive letter to Jeffrey Epstein in celebration of the notorious child abuser’s 50th birthday, in 2003, the administration had a choice of available responses. The strategy it went with was indignant denial.

“Democrats and Fake News media desperately tried to coordinate a despicable hoax,” said the White House spokesperson Liz Huston. “Forgive my language but this story is complete and utter bullshit,” Vice President J. D. Vance wrote on X. “The WSJ should be ashamed for publishing it. Where is this letter? Would you be shocked to learn they never showed it to us before publishing it? Does anyone honestly believe this sounds like Donald Trump?” Trump sued the Journal’s parent company and its owner, Rupert Murdoch, for defamation, seeking $10 billion in damages. In the legal complaint, Trump’s lawyers accused the paper of “malicious, deliberate, and despicable actions,” including publishing “a series of quotes from the nonexistent letter.”

Back to Chait and The Atlantic: He closes with this bon mot:

When the Journal story first broke, Vance demanded, “Will the people who have bought into every hoax against President Trump show an ounce of skepticism before buying into this bizarre story?”

The episode certainly does tell us something about Trump and the need for appropriate levels of skepticism. Don’t count on the president’s cultists to draw the right conclusion.

“Draw the right conclusion”, wow, that’s a real knee slapper. This whole thing is too wrong. I think there should be a statute of limitations on shite that doesn’t matter.
