Trump Claims Someone May Have Forged His Signature on Birthday Letter to Epstein

More laughable by the minute...

The president filed a lawsuit claiming his reported birthday note to Epstein is “fake and nonexistent.” Now he says someone else might have signed it

President Donald Trump has, at this point, provided several implausible excuses for a slate of reports concerning his former friendship with convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. Today, Trump threw out a new rationale for a Wall Street Journal report alleging he wrote a raunchy birthday letter to Epstein in 2003: Someone forged his signature.

Speaking today to reporters outside the White House, Trump was asked if he maintained that he didn’t write the supposed letter, which was reportedly featured in a book of similar congratulatory notes given to Epstein by his friends for his 50th birthday.

“I don’t even know what they’re talking about,” the president said. “Now, somebody could have written a letter and used my name, but that’s happened a lot.”

According to the Journal report last week, Trump’s salacious letter to Epstein featured a poem about how “we have certain things in common.” The letter reportedly referred to Epstein as a pal, and added: “Happy birthday — and may every day be another wonderful secret.”

He maybe didn't create the picture but without a doubt he signed it, and I'm sure any unbiased handwriting analyzer would authenticate the signature.

Who would’ve cared to sign this as him way before he was ever in politics or on TV? He was just a famous businessman back then. No one is doing that.

First, deny
Then claim someone else is lying
Then say he did it and everyone else did it and it's not illegal
