44. The WSJ described a letter signed by Trump.
Mon Jul 21, 2025, 02:34 AM
Monday

Trump says he didn't write the letter or the drawing.
It is of little difference what Trump wrote or drew, he attached his name to it making the letter his own. He did the same thing with his book. People everywhere sign their names to documents they haven't personally written but are recognized as their own.
He is basically saying, I am Donald Trump and I approve this message.

I saw this version on Facebook; it isn't the same. At least one, maybe both, must be fake. Ocelot II Jul 20 #29
