“The typewritten portion of the Trump-attributed Epstein birthday book letter contains an imagined dialogue ending with: 'A pal is a wonderful thing. Happy Birthday — and may every day be another wonderful secret.' It is signed 'Donald' in handwriting. Trump denies authorship and sued the WSJ.”
The typewritten portion of the 2003 Epstein birthday book page bearing Donald Trump's name contains an imagined dialogue. The text, as reported by NBC News, includes:
*"Voice Over: There must be more to life than having everything,"* followed by a character identified as Trump responding *"Yes, there is, but I won't tell you what it is."*
The exchange continues with Trump stating: *"We have certain things in common, Jeffrey,"* and Epstein responding in kind. The closing line, attributed to Trump: ***"A pal is a wonderful thing. Happy Birthday — and may every day be another wonderful secret."***
The page is signed "Donald" in handwriting.
"May every day be another wonderful secret" is not a standard birthday greeting. It is not a phrase that appears in generic holiday cards. It is a line written specifically for the occasion — a 50th birthday tribute from one man to another, framed around the shared experience of having "secrets." In the context of everything the public now knows about Jeffrey Epstein's activities, the phrase carries a weight that no birthday greeting should carry.
Trump has sued the WSJ for publishing the letter. His position: the letter does not exist, and if it exists, he did not write it, and if he wrote it, it is being misrepresented. The physical book has since been obtained by House Democrats and is documented in the committee record. Trump's denials remain — and so does the physical page with his name on it and the phrase about "wonderful secrets."
No one's said anything yet. Be the first to drop your take.
For Trump's denial to be true, Ghislaine Maxwell would have to have deliberately forged a Trump letter — including the handwriting — in her 2003 album assembled for Jeffrey Epstein. Then she would have to have kept that forgery through her entire friendship with the Trumps. Then it would have to have survived until 2025 to be released by House Democrats. This chain is possible. It is not likely. The simpler explanation is the one Trump is denying.
