"The WSJ hit piece on Trump never made sense for a second. Here are some key points: -TIMELINE: The alleged letter (which has not been released) is from 2003. It's old news that Trump knew Epstein but cut off ties in 2004/2005. Epstein was first arrested in 2006. So who cares if Trump wrote a letter in 2003 -'ENIGMAS NEVER AGE': Who writes like that Certainly not Donald Trump who has written over a dozen books and posts all the time. We know Trump's voice and that ain't it. -HE DREW BOOBS Maybe but so what Trump does like to doodle but even if he did the drawing this is all you got on him"

"You guys are gonna hear a lot of bad things about me when the Epstein Files are released today. I want to tell you first instead of you finding out from some editorial hit piece. I'm a bad man. I did some very bad things. I was (and still am) on some serious Alcibiades shit"
