grillman Wow, it sure is a good thing he was only doing this as an FBI informant or this would look really bad

Transcript as it’s hard to read on the picture:

Voice over:

There must be more to life than having everything

Donald

Yes, there is but I won’t tell you what it is.

Jeffrey

Nor will I, since I also know what it is.

Donald

We have certain things in common, Jeffrey.

Jeffrey

Yes, we do, come to think of it.

Donald

Enigmas never age, have you noticed that?

Jeffrey

As a matter of fact, it was clear to me the last time I saw you

Donald

A pal is a wonderful thing. Happy Birthday—and may every day be another wonderful secret.

Donald J. Trump [Trump’s signature]

If it weren’t someone as unsubtle as Trump writing it, I’d say it was fake, a normal person wouldn’t be so on the nose with it. But Donald-golden-toilet-Trump isn’t a normal person is he?

Donny writing cringe again

I'm very nothing-ever-happens by now so I feel deep inside that this is a nothingburger, but why is WSJ publishing this?

[–] Assian_Candor@hexbear.net 22 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Cuz this asshole is imploding the economy would be my guess

[–] FunkyStuff@hexbear.net 14 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I don't know, why would this be the way to twist his arm though? If they wanted him gone they'd release something more incriminating, obviously there's the Epstein tapes and who knows what else. So whatever factions of the bourgeoisie who aren't aligned with the administration and the Palantir types, have enough access to get their hands on the blackmail, and are trying to manipulate him into backing down now?

No clue I don't play 4D chess. My guess is just trying to build enough pressure so that crossing over on a removal vote doesn't become political suicide. I'm surprised we haven't seen Vance make a move yet.

My guess is just trying to build enough pressure so that crossing over on a removal vote doesn't become political suicide.

Yeah, that’s a salient point. You face serious reprisal if you try to remove him without firmly establishing your accusations against Trump and manufacturing consent. Not saying consent is being manufactured by the ‘powers that be’ that Trump is a pedophile but my guess is if they were trying to remove him, they’d do it carefully.

But the WSJ could very well be trying to manufacture consent from the other direction, by releasing shit like this and normalizing it with the chud audience. In the grand scheme of things, it’s not explicitly incriminating, it can be waived off by some as him being a womanizer who thought Epstein shared his like for sex with fully grown, consenting women.

My guess is running the headline "Damning Correspondence Proves Trump-Epstein Link" gets them clicks and views. They know they aren't adding anything everyone already knows, but it'll get them a couple extra bucks.

Enigmas never age, have you noticed that

I cannot believe this bloviating moron actually knows what an enigma is and can also come up with any degree of (unsubtle) wordplay with it

[–] Palacegalleryratio@hexbear.net 6 points 1 month ago

Probably some poor trafficked individuals name

once you turn 14 tho you’re fine cause then they’re too old for him

[–] SorosFootSoldier@hexbear.net 44 points 1 month ago

Not like anyone is going to do anything about it, but here's another lie he was caught in relation to Epstein, swearing up and down this was fake news by the media.

[–] SupFBI@hexbear.net 38 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I'd like to see Donny jam out of this wiggle.

[–] LeninWalksTheEarth@hexbear.net 19 points 1 month ago (1 children)

oh damn he wiggled out of it again

[–] SupFBI@hexbear.net 11 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

The Teflon Don, no wriggling necessary. Easy clean up.

i want to tear out my hair WHY IS IT WRITTEN LIKE THE SCREENPLAY FOR THE WORST COMMERCIAL YOU'VE EVER SEEN agony-shivering

[–] uSSRI@hexbear.net 11 points 1 month ago

TV prez writes TV "poems" shrug-outta-hecks

[–] corgiwithalaptop@hexbear.net 34 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I swear we saw this months ago, no? Am I going crazy?

[–] varmint@hexbear.net 25 points 1 month ago (2 children)

There was a forgery that looked a lot like this a few weeks ago

[–] FunkyStuff@hexbear.net 34 points 1 month ago

The forgery was only close because they were going off of the WSJ's description of the letter that was provided the day before that forgery came out.

[–] corgiwithalaptop@hexbear.net 16 points 1 month ago

Oh word thats what it was

[–] Carl@hexbear.net 29 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

that's much worse looking than what I had pictured in my head. Like I was imagining a doodle on the level of the one from The Big Lebowski at least.

[–] FunkyStuff@hexbear.net 27 points 1 month ago

Are you enjoying the show?

[–] hollowmines@hexbear.net 18 points 1 month ago

unlike the pee tape I never doubted this was real, not only cause no outlet would risk a surely bankrupting lawsuit over it otherwise, but also it was too weird and specific to just make up outta nowhere

[–] glimmer_twin@hexbear.net 17 points 1 month ago

But Cheeto man doesn’t know the word enigma remember

Meanwhile on reddit-logo.world

CW: Homophobia

[–] godlessworm@hexbear.net 13 points 1 month ago (1 children)

that last one confuses me. donald trump achieved self-suck abilities?

i also love how they basically said “im not homophobic, let me prove it by being even more homophobic”

[–] Meltyheartlove@hexbear.net 8 points 1 month ago

puzzled It mentions "The Russian President" in red.

[–] DerRedMax@hexbear.net 12 points 1 month ago (1 children)
