President Donald Trump’s defenders got here up with an embarrassing and implausible misinform distance their Pricey Chief from the vile birthday be aware he wrote to convicted intercourse offender Jeffrey Epstein, ridiculously claiming the signature on the doc isn’t Trump’s—when it very clearly is.
After the Wall Avenue Journal on Monday printed a picture of the birthday message—through which Trump drew a picture of a unadorned lady on prime of an ode to the “wonderful secret” he shared along with his wicked buddy—Republicans rapidly got here up with a motive why the be aware could not be actual. That is once they landed on the faux signature lie.
This picture posted on Sept. 8, on the X account of the Democrats on the Home Oversight Committee exhibits a sexually suggestive birthday be aware to Epstein alluding to a “wonderful secret” and purportedly signed by Trump.
“The latest piece published by the Wall Street Journal PROVES this entire ‘Birthday Card’ story is false. As I have said all along, it’s very clear President Trump did not draw this picture, and he did not sign it,” pathologically mendacity White Home press secretary Karoline Leavitt wrote in a put up on X. “President Trump’s legal team will continue to aggressively pursue litigation.”
Republican lawmakers and Trump’s right-wing media machine rapidly received the message that this was the lie they had been going with to defend their messiah, and commenced to disseminate it to the plenty.
“I just don’t buy any of it right now,” Rep. Tim Burchett (R-TN) informed CNN, saying he believes Trump’s signature was solid.
“For the record: This is what President Trump’s signature actually looks like,” Rep. Wesley Hunt (R-TX) wrote in a put up on X, sharing a picture of {a photograph} Trump signed that appears much like the signature on the Epstein be aware.
Proper-wing media shills additionally received in on the lie.
“Does the below from the WSJ look like this actual signature from the President? I don’t think so at all. Fake,” Trump sycophant Charlie Kirk wrote in a put up on X.
“The Wall Street Journal just released the ‘letter’ they claim President Trump sent to Epstein. … Is this really the best they could do? Trump has the most famous signature in the world. Time to sue them into the oblivion,” serial plagiarist and Russian-paid propagandist Benny Johnson wrote in a put up on X.
The lie is absurd. The signature may be very clearly Trump’s, as evidenced by pictures of his signatures by means of the years.
“If you don’t believe this is Donald Trump’s signature as Republicans are claiming, I have a bridge to sell you,” Rep. Frank Pallone (D-NJ) wrote in a put up on X.
However greater than that, the birthday be aware is from 2003. Republicans are critically claiming that somebody 25 years in the past had the foresight to forge Trump’s signature in order that it could come again to hang-out his presidency? Come on.
The birthday be aware is not the one revolting message within the Epstein birthday ebook associated to Trump. There’s additionally a picture of Epstein holding a large test for $22,500 which was for the sale of a “fully depreciated” lady from Epstein to Trump.
Everyone knows Trump is within the Epstein recordsdata he is refusing to launch. These birthday ebook pictures are a transparent motive why.
