Donald Trump is now blaming others for a bizarre birthday letter he reportedly sent to Jeffrey Epstein — one that appears to include his signature styled to look like pubic hair.
The president flat-out denied writing the note, which was first reported by The Wall Street Journal. The letter was said to be drawn on an outline of a naked woman, with “a pair of small arcs” for breasts, and a signature reading “Donald” placed below the waistline — mimicking pubic hair. Trump claimed the signature was fake.
“I don’t even know what they’re talking about,” Trump told reporters Friday outside the White House before flying to Scotland. “Now, somebody could have written a letter and used my name. That’s happened a lot.”
“All you have to do is take a look at the dossier, the fake dossier,” he said. “Everything’s fake with that administration. Everything’s fake with the Democrats. Take a look what they just found about the dossiers. Everything is fake. They’re a bunch of sick people.”
He didn’t say who in the “fake” administrations supposedly forged the note.
When asked if he would consider pardoning Ghislaine Maxwell — Epstein’s longtime companion convicted for helping him sexually abuse underage girls — Trump didn’t say no.
“I don’t want to talk about that,” he said. “But what I do want to say is that Todd is a great attorney. But you ought to be speaking about Larry Summers… Bill Clinton, who went to the island 28 times. I never went to the island.”
Pressed again about Maxwell, Trump added, “I haven’t thought about it,” but claimed, “I’m allowed.”
Despite the mounting evidence and public outcry, Trump continues to dodge accountability — now suggesting others faked his signature, and that he could pardon one of Epstein’s closest allies if he wanted to.
The circus continues.
