1) The goofy letter Trump wrote Epstein, as reported in the WSJ, does not in any way incriminate Trump as a child sex predator, nor does it suggest that he's currently covering up a child-sex trafficking ring

2) It *does* demonstrate that ANY snippet of material connected to Epstein can be used to implicate prominent people by salacious inference -- but we already knew that

3) If a similar letter had been written by Bill Clinton, Bill Gates, etc., the Online Right would've had an apocalyptic conspiratorial meltdown, calling for their immediate public castration

4) Dems will now replicate the same sleazy knee-jerk tactics against Trump, drawing the most salacious possible inferences from a goofy letter. Some chagrinned former MAGAs will likely join in on the act

5) This entire story is a circus of escalating multi-directional idiocy
