Q: Do you maintain that you did not write a letter for Jeffrey Epstein's Birthday?

Trump (July): “I don't even know what they're talking about. Somebody could have written a letter and used my name, that's happened a lot…Everything is fake”

is that rump composed this missive, but it was compiled by someone at his direction. He may not have designed that atrocious rendering of the female anatomy, but he def had a hand in its rhetoric and tone, even signing the thing which would come back to bite him. He signed off to send this monstrosity. I doubt he was capable at that time to even turn on a PC. Not feeling so clever now, are ya, numbnutz?

illustrated the card. He displayed a personal note from djt that he received some time ago and the signature significantly matched the card. He also showed some illustrations made and signed by djt that resembled the card's female outline -- djt was into wavy lines at that time, apparently.

If the card was faked, who would've known about the personal, somewhat intimate, dialogue and the "secret"?

That should be good enough to convince the MAGA cult.

3. So the Democrats wrote that birthday letter to Epstein 20 something years ago in order to hurt Trump?
Tue Sep 9, 2025, 07:21 AM
Sep 2025

And it was complete with his signature, a drawing of a naked woman (teen??),
with the a not too subtle reference to, “and may every day be another wonderful
secret” and they planted it into a birthday book for Epstein that wound up being
part of his estate that was controlled by Epstein’s family?

Was the Clintons or Dark Brandon or George Soros or Dan Rather behind all of that?

Bottom line Donald Trump was part of what they are now saying was the largest
international child sex trafficking operation including money transfers, using his
plane to transport the victims, Putin/Russia/Israel were involved, he is a child rapist,
and Trump had something to do with Epstein’s death too.

Keep talking Krasnov.

5. Many cults throughout history have allowed their leaders to be child rapists

He might lose some support, but MAGA is not a "conservative" cult -- it's a reactionary cult, i.e. knee-jerk anti-liberalism, and the faux-king idiot is their savior.

….. that had Trump has a 25% of the American population as his base that will never leave
him because he scratches their racist itches. I think it is more like 35% and you can add in
2 more isms sexism and anti-intellectualism too. Hell a lot of those MAGA men think and
will say out loud to their family and friends that how great it is that he got so much hot young
p***y.

If you're a racist, there's a damn good chance you're anti-liberal for that reason alone.

Yet, I hear daily from MAGAts what a wonder he is. Almost anyone would be a better pick for a tyrant.

10. Some repubes might actually be offended by someone obviously LYING to their face
Tue Sep 9, 2025, 07:57 AM
Sep 2025

I know it upsets me when you know a person is lying (and they know you know), and they keep on lying, intensifying the lie, disgracing themselves.

So I can imagine (hopefully) that some repubes somewhere in our fair land also take offense at having a big fat lie smushed into their face. It really sucks when that happens. I mean, this thing is GLARING.

What kind of person lets that pass? Shrugs and moves on?

12. Trump's response isn't as direct as George Conway says
Tue Sep 9, 2025, 08:20 AM
Sep 2025

He keeps plausible deniability and avoids a direct lie as long as he can, but here are the signs he's working up to a lie and/or he's going to excuse himself for doing it:

I don't know anything about it
I don't even know the person
This doesn't matter, let's talk about something else
People could have done this or that to frame me
It's fake news
It's a hoax
It's a deep state conspiracy
We're suing the reporter/media outlet for reporting this
We're starting an investigation into someone else who did the thing I'm accused of
People do this all the time
Hillary/Biden/Obama did it
People are saying I should have done it
