Donald Trump is firing back hard at bombshell claims he penned a scandalous birthday message to the late Jeffrey Epstein—complete with a crude drawing of a naked woman.
The former president is fuming over a Wall Street Journal report published Thursday evening that alleges Trump contributed a risqué note for Epstein’s 50th birthday book in 2003. According to the report, Ghislaine Maxwell organized the surprise gift, gathering letters from Epstein’s high-profile friends and assembling them into a keepsake.
But Trump says it’s all lies.
The Shocking Allegation: “Donald” Signed as Pubic Hair?
The WSJ report claims Trump’s note included a few lines of typewritten text and a hand-drawn image of a naked woman—with the name “Donald” scribbled suggestively as pubic hair.
The letter allegedly ended with the words:
“Happy Birthday — and may every day be another wonderful secret.”
The Journal said they “reviewed” the note and other similarly racy letters from Epstein’s inner circle. However, they did not publish the letter itself.
Trump Fires Back: “False, Malicious, Defamatory”
Trump wasted no time hitting back on Truth Social, calling the story:
“False, malicious, and defamatory. I never wrote a picture in my life. I don’t draw pictures of women. It’s not my language. It’s not my words.”
The former president also vowed to sue the Wall Street Journal and its parent company News Corp, demanding a retraction.
Why It Matters: Trump’s Ties to Epstein Under Scrutiny
This report comes amid renewed public interest in Trump’s past relationship with Epstein. While the pair were photographed together multiple times in the early 2000s—often alongside Maxwell—Trump has repeatedly denied any wrongdoing or involvement in Epstein’s crimes.
The Department of Justice recently confirmed that Epstein’s sealed files don’t contain a “client list” of powerful individuals. However, sources tell TMZ the files do include “tons of famous names”—Trump’s among them—though there’s reportedly no evidence linking him to illegal activity.
Still, critics in Congress on both sides of the aisle are calling for the DOJ and Attorney General Pam Bondi to release the files to the public.
Fans and Critics React
Social media exploded after news of the alleged birthday note:
- “The WSJ needs to show receipts. Where’s the letter?”
- “Trump’s denial sounds pretty convincing… but why is his name in those files so often?”
- “This is pure media smear. If they don’t have the letter, they shouldn’t publish these claims.”
???? What Happens Next?
Trump’s legal team is reportedly preparing to send a cease-and-desist to the Journal in the coming days. Whether this escalates to a full-blown lawsuit remains to be seen.
As for the letter? Unless WSJ publishes it, this could remain one of 2025’s most polarizing political mysteries.
