Why the Left Will Be the Ones Melting Down Over the WSJ's Trump-Epstein Story
Matt Vespa
The only time I felt this level of disappointment was after watching Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull. This was the movie that was in development hell for over a generation, the follow-up to The Last Crusade, and it features a scene where Dr. Jones gets nuked while hiding in a fridge—and survives. Jumping the shark got a new iteration with that film. Are you kidding me? I wasn’t rooting for the Trump-Epstein story to be true, but I was curious. Everyone was on edge for hours, as there were reports that some major publication had an exposé about President Donald Trump and Jeffrey Epstein, with documentation. What could it be?
The Wall Street Journal reported that Trump purportedly sent Epstein a birthday card for his 50th birthday in 2003. It was “bawdy,” accompanied by a doodle. The paper says they have the letter but won’t publish it. It’s the Russian collusion hoax all over again. While the MAGA movement was splintered online over how the Trump administration handled the Epstein files, it quickly reunited since not even the most ardent critic of the Trump Justice Department could stomach this piece of trash reporting.
The funniest part about the WSJ hit job is that Democrats are melting down over no one buying it.
Well… they bought into it.
But these are the same people who bought into the narrative that Joe Biden wasn’t in complete decline.

There is no smoking gun, just a past run-in Trump had with Epstein before their 2008 falling out, which was also the year when Epstein was convicted of trying to procure a child for prostitution. We’re not melting down. Those who might, and likely already have, are the Left, since we no longer trust the legacy press, and these stories disintegrate in nanoseconds. We’re not buying it, and the usual suspects are the only ones peddling it as fact. It’s an ‘as expected’ reaction, especially after we’ve moved on from Russiagate.
