IN THE NEWS: White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt insists her boss, President Donald Trump, did not write a suggestively salacious birthday message to sex-trafficking financier Jeffrey Epstein, nor did he draw the sketch of a nude woman’s torso that surrounds the text.
Trump has filed a certain-to-fail $10 billion lawsuit against the Wall Street Journal for reporting on the titillating birthday card (because, after golf, suing is his favorite sport), while his various media sycophants insist the signature on the card looks nothing like Trump’s signature (although it really does) and that Trump has never done sketches (although, at the time the card was created, he frequently did).
The one factor that might cast doubt on Trump’s authorship of the birthday card is that a man famous for his boastful lechery seems unlikely to have shown such restraint in rendering the female’s bustline.
