No he "clearly" did not.
He had a falling out with Epstein BEFORE Epstein's first conviction.
Sure, but Trump was friends with Epstein while he was an active sex trafficker. Epstein was first under investigation in 2005, meanwhile this quote from Trump is from 2002:
A 2002 New York magazine profile of Epstein quoted Trump. “I’ve known Jeff for 15 years. Terrific guy,” Trump said. “He’s a lot of fun to be with. It is even said that he likes beautiful women as much as I do, and many of them are on the younger side. No doubt about it—Jeffrey enjoys his social life.”
Trump knew Epstein was a pedophile and yet still chose to be friends with him.
So do you guys think Trump might have written/drawn that birthday note?
Trump claims he has never drawn anything.
The contents of the note are kinda campy, as is Trump, and clearly Trump is a bit of a doodler. Trump and Epstein were close friends at the alleged time that the note was written. Other people have verified the existence of such an album, like Alan Dershowitz, and the reported book binder listed Epstein as a client on his website.
What’s the alternative here, that someone found this album and somehow snuck a forged page into it? Seems less likely than Trump simply having written a letter for his friends 50th birthday, no?
More interesting to me is the strong denial from Trump. He obviously thinks this letter carries heavily negative implications, or else he wouldn’t even comment on it.
