I have no doubts in my mind that trump and Epstein were as good friends as two narcissistic assholes are capable of being.
But it's also pretty damn clear to me that trump isn't exactly the letter-writing type.
I suspect how this all played out is that Maxwell was putting together this book for Epstein, and reached out to trump for his contribution
And so trump had some lackey throw together something appropriately sleazy for it and just signed it wherever he was told to sign.
And I don't think that's even just a trump thing, I'm pretty sure just about any celebrity, politician, etc. has staff whose job is to answer mail for them.
And he's too much of a moron and narcissistic asshole to say that, so instead he's going all-in on it being forged.
But if he were someone with a half functioning brain, that's all he would need to say "I am a very busy man, so I can't remember every piece of mail I sent 20 years ago, I probably had an intern write it for me, and I just signed where they told me to, I probably didn't even read it, I trusted my staff to write a good letter because I have the best people working for me"
And boom totally plausible, keeps the whole thing at arms-length from himself, and probably pretty damn close to the truth.
nah. first of all it's more like a birthday card than a letter.
second of all, mango mussolini's always been more into Broadway plays than the gayest person in new york; it totally makes sense that he would write a fake play to wink and nod at their "secret" and "enigmas" that "never age". ew.
not to mention the birthday letter is pretty much more about him than it is about his friend so that also tracks with the kind of shit he would write.
