Drudge Retort: The Other Side of the News
Monday, September 08, 2025

House Democrats on Monday released a screenshot of what appears to be a letter signed by President Donald Trump, which was included in a collection of notes sent to notorious sex offender Jeffrey Epstein for his 50th birthday in 2003. The letter features a conversation between Trump and Epstein inside an apparently hand-drawn outline of a woman's torso. Trump's signature is located just below the hips of the drawing.

The screenshot released Monday afternoon appears reveals the letter exactly as it was described in a mid-July report from The Wall Street Journal, which first uncovered the existence of the "bawdy" message.

Trump furiously denied writing that letter at the time, claiming, "These are not my words, not the way I talk."

And he said said he couldn't draw!

The deal with the Epstein family is that they include some co-conspirators, so I'm expecting that whatever they release will be, um, very selective so as not incriminate themselves.

But this drawing with his signature is fun, though he'll prolly say it was Biden's Autopen.

Which Trumpers will buy wholesale; they'll prolly even order copies of the BDay card from the WH Gift Shop.

Thanks Corky, Alexandrite, and the other Alexandrite.

Well, I was not quite sure what to expect to see in this note, but seeing as those are family safe links, I went ahead and looked.
Oooh!
Classy!

#8: Sehr gut. The discovery process and witness testimony made public expands, not contains, Dummkopf Trumpf's problem. How packed will the courtroom be? The WSJ arrow struck well the target and hence this 'Roy Cohn' reaction from the pedophilic POTUS.

FTA, here is the alleged tort: s3.documentcloud.org

And where in the wide world of sports are Melanoma and Ivanka Trumpf?

Today it was confirmed that the president told the world's most infamous pedophile and child sex trafficker: "We have certain things in common."

For any other president, it would be the biggest scandal of their lives, possibly career-ending.

For Trump, it's just Monday.

"Democrats on the committee released on Monday evening what they said was another page from the "birthday book," " posting a letter with a photo that they described as "Epstein and a longtime Mar-a-Lago member joking about selling a fully depreciated' woman to Donald Trump for $22,500."

The photo shows Epstein standing next to several other people holding an oversized check written to appear that the check had been made out from Trump to Epstein for $22,500.

The committee did not identify the other people in the photo.

Below the photo, a hand-written caption states,

"Jeffrey showing early talents with money and women! Sells fully depreciated' [readacted] to Donald Trump for $22,500."

"Please note that, in an abundance of caution, we have redacted names and faces of women and minors who appear in the book (other than Ms. Maxwell, public figures, and family or class photos) to ensure that no potential victims are publicly identifiable," Weiner and attorney Daniel Ruzumna wrote.

"We have also redacted photographs revealing any nudity from the book," they added."

I did some deep introspection.
About which part causes the hugest --------.

At first it was the tender breast buds of a thirteen year old girl.

Then my thoughts drifted to the patch of ----- around the -----, not too bushy because it hasn't grown past the bikini area yet.

But most of all, it's the symbolism of the -----cent female form, distilled down to just the relevant parts.

A faceless, armless, tight -------- torso that exists solely for my pleasure.

Goddamn that is hot!

"White House issues fresh denials upon release of Epstein birthday greeting

Congress released a copy of the greeting that prompted Trump lawsuit against The Wall Street Journal.

"As I have said all along, it's very clear President Trump did not draw this picture, and he did not sign it," White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt said in a statement on social media. "President Trump's legal team will continue to aggressively pursue litigation."

News Corp., which owns the Journal, did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

A Wall Street Journal analysis of the signature on the birthday greeting shows apparent similarities to Trump's signature from contemporaneous documents, including letters Trump wrote to Hillary Clinton in 2000 and to George Clooney in 2006.

The analysis also compares the drawing of a woman's body to line drawings previously attributed to Trump."

It's hilarious that Leavitt can lie so unabashedly when it is blatantly obvious this is 100% Trump's signature and "artwork."

Unless we are supposed to believe that someone cared enough about "The Donald" that many years ago to do an excellent forgery of his signature that, honestly, no one cared about at that time. It's also hilarious to me that the same morons that believed Obama's birth announcements in Hawaii papers were done so far in advance, planning for the day he'd become President.

We need to accept the fact that we're dealing with people that are tenuously, if at all, tethered to reality.

But this is stereotypical groomed victim behavior.

"But while Trump's official signature often looks more jagged than the loopier "Donald" on the Epstein birthday letter, there are many examples of him signing his name in a similar way around the period in question.

A photo of an inscription in a copy of Donald Trump's book "Trump: The Art of the Comeback" that belonged to Jeffrey Epstein. President Trump's name appeared on a contributor list for a book celebrating the 50th birthday of the disgraced financier Jeffrey Epstein, evidence that he participated in the collection even as he denied that he signed a sexually suggestive note and drawing."

;;

"There's a 1996 letter to then-New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani. There's a 1995 letter to a member of a local Palm Beach commission. There's a 1999 letter to former CNN host Larry King.

There's a 1984 letter to the executive editor of the New York Times, A.M. Rosenthal. Former MSNBC host Keith Olbermann on Monday produced a 2014 letter he received. There's even an inscription from 1997 in a Trump book that Epstein owned."

;;

"All feature that loopier style, followed by a long tail coming off the final "d" in Trump's first name.

It looks like Trump often signed his name in this manner when the subject matter was more personal " situations in which signing with his first name only would be appropriate.

If anything, the signature appears to affirm the legitimacy of the letter. But Trump allies are apparently sticking to the claim, even after their assertions about Trump drawings already blew up in their faces."

They always have threads about trans, immigrants, and 'the Russian Hoax!' to go to; subjects they've been thoroughly brainwashed about.

Suddenly all the republicans have become signature experts.

And they all agree it's NOT his signature.

Even though it's obviously his signature and his style of writing.

Interestingly this "birthday card" even if Trumpy wrote it proves nothing in and of itself.

But they just cannot admit it's Trumpy because Trumpy says it's not Trumpy. Even though it's obviously Trumpy.

If you tell a big enough lie and repeat it often enough, people will eventually come to believe it, especially if the state can suppress the truth and the consequences of the lie.

Truth has become the enemy. Because the truth reveals the Big Lie.
