From Reuters: https://www.reuters.com/world/us/house-democrats-release-alleged-trump-birthday-letter-epstein-2025-09-08/

Democrats on the House Oversight Committee released the letter after Congress received the 2003 "birthday book" from Epstein's lawyers, the Journal reported on Monday. The letter is dated three years before allegations of sex abuse by Epstein became public in 2006.

The letter contains text of a purported dialogue between Trump and Epstein in which Trump calls him a "pal" and says, "May every day be another wonderful secret." The text sits within a crude sketch of the silhouette of a naked woman.

White House deputy chief of staff Taylor Budowich denounced the release, saying the signature on the letter is not Trump's and alluding to Trump's lawsuit against the Journal's parent company, News Corp.

Definitely the drawing of an innocent and completely normal person who has never raped any children

Holy shit I thought the body outline was added as a meme.

[–] Little8Lost@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago

I thought so too

Didn’t Colbert have a release of this like a month ago?

[–] LesserAbe@lemmy.world 6 points 1 week ago (1 children)

The text of the note had been reported previously, but the actual image/layout had not been released

[–] jaybone@lemmy.zip 1 points 1 week ago

Ah that’s it. They must have also included the description of the drawing around the text, and the location of the signature, because goddamn Colbert had a decent replica of this a long time ago.

He auctioned off some of his doodles years ago BTW

That sucks.

This simple comment literally made me LOL. Chef’s kiss.

[–] FreshParsnip@lemmy.ca 2 points 1 week ago

Has he tried to blame AI yet? On September 2nd, 2025, I heard Trump say in a press conference that if something really bad happens, he might have to blame AI

Lt. Col. Bonespurs wouldn't know how to use "enigma" in a sentence and he sure as hell wouldn't be able to spell it properly.

[–] Laser@feddit.org 4 points 1 week ago

He used the term in one of his political speeches, though I think it was first term. I know because that exact point came up when the letter text surfaced and people argued this

Now, yes, but even in 2016 he had shown significant cognitive decline from a decade or two before.

But that's moot since I'm sure he had someone else type it up and he drew the underage girl on it.

[–] LesserAbe@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago

You're saying he didn't write this note?

[–] BussyGyatt@feddit.org 1 points 1 week ago (2 children)

i'm like 55% sure he's only pretending to be stupid so people will constantly misunderestimate him.

[–] agamemnonymous@sh.itjust.works 6 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I believe that he's pretending to be stupider than he is for this reason, but I also think he is actually stupid also.

[–] BussyGyatt@feddit.org 2 points 1 week ago

you know what I love about fedi? the votes. unironically. Everyone skipped over voting me because my opinion sucked and it found your better opinion. I know for a fact humans did that shit. Good Job Fedi.

Nope. People with narcissistic personality disorder are simply unable to play dumb. Trump believes every word that comes out of his mouth. From the outside, that seems fucking nuts so we come up with explanations from our own experience. "If I did that, what would I have been thinking?"

Mom had NPD, and while she's the worst case I've known IRL, still, nothing like Trump. Unless you've spent a great deal of time around someone who most literally cannot believe they are wrong, or ever have been wrong, it's all but impossible to get your head around it.
