 Miranda Devine: Trump wins the Epstein battle — as the left, media foolishly believe prez is on the skids

If you listened to the rest of the media — both mainstream and social media — you would think Donald Trump was on the skids, that MAGA was at last turning on the president over the so-called Epstein files.

But nothing could be further from the truth, according to polling that the president crowed about over the weekend and, also, according to history. Every single time his enemies count him out, Trump roars back with a vengeance.

The latest effort last week to try to smear him as a sexual deviant and damage his marriage by tying him to child sex predator Jeffrey Epstein is a case in point.

The Wall Street Journal story Thursday was tame by comparison to the lurid rumors and wishful thinking that ripped through Washington, DC, and newly anti-Trump Elon Musk’s X all week. The story claimed Trump had contributed a letter to a leather-bound book created for Epstein’s 50th birthday in 2003 by the pervert financier’s gal pal Ghislaine Maxwell.

The typewritten letter reportedly involved an imaginary conversation between Trump and Epstein that included the lines “Enigmas never age” and “Happy Birthday — and may every day be another wonderful secret.”

In its description of the letter, which it did not publish, the WSJ said there was also a doodle of a naked woman and Trump’s signature. Trump denied writing the letter or drawing the picture, calling it “FAKE,” before launching a $10 billion libel action.

Trump said: “These are not my words, not the way I talk.”

I don't know about that WSJ article and the supposed letter from Trump to Epstein, but it is pure wish casting if people think this is actually going away, and that trump won anything in this matter.

I am conservative, and for once, I want the truth on Epstein.

We have been lied to for many decades on just about anything of consequence through the years.  Trump saying Epstein has been dead for a long time and this is a nothing burger is not going to have this go away.  I do not think he was involved with Epstein on his island, but I want to know what they are all covering up, and to say they are not covering up something is a lie in my opinion.

And polls mean nothing to me.

This administration is making the Epstein case a partisan affair.  All it's going to take is the younger democrats to demand the release of files, and they will have a winning issue.  Sure Bill Clinton, George Mitchell, Bill Richardson will be exposed, and maybe some elderly donors.  The progressives would relish the opportunity to rebrand the party in their own image.
