Well, folks, the media’s at it again, slinging mud at President Trump with a story so absurd it sounds like it was cooked up in a tabloid’s basement, or maybe the Babylon Bee.
On Thursday, Trump dropped a bombshell, revealing that he and his Press Secretary, Karoline Leavitt, got a heads-up from none other than Rupert Murdoch about a forthcoming Wall Street Journal hit piece. The claim was that Trump allegedly drew a picture of a woman’s breasts and signed it with a birthday note to the late, not so great, disgraced Jeffrey Epstein.
Yes, that Jeffrey Epstein.
The alleged note, according to the report, read: "Happy Birthday — and may every day be another wonderful secret." Sounds like something out of a bad spy novel, not a Trump letter, and not something stupid enough that a person of his standing would put in writing.

Trump and Leavitt didn’t mince words. They went straight to WSJ editor Emma Tucker and called the letter what it is: “a FAKE.” Trump himself was crystal clear when The Journal came sniffing around. "I never wrote a picture in my life. I don’t draw pictures of women," he said, adding, "It’s not my language. It’s not my words." Hard to argue with that, because nobody on this planet can really picture Trump sitting down with a sketchpad and a birthday card for Epstein.
But, in true legacy media fashion, The Wall Street Journal ran the story anyway, facts be damned.
Trump wasn’t having it. He took to Truth Social, firing off a post that pulled no punches and announced he’s gearing up to sue The WSJ, NewsCorp, and Murdoch himself. "President Trump has already beaten George Stephanopoulos/ABC, 60 Minutes/CBS, and others, and looks forward to suing and holding accountable the once great Wall Street Journal," he wrote. "It has truly turned out to be a ‘Disgusting and Filthy Rag’ and, writing defamatory lies like this, shows their desperation to remain relevant."
Go Donny, Go!
And he didn’t stop there. Trump pointed out the obvious: if there was even a shred of truth to this so-called "Epstein Hoax," the usual suspects: Comey, Brennan, "Crooked Hillary," and the rest of the Radical Left Lunatics would’ve been waving it around years ago. "It certainly would not have sat in a file waiting for ‘TRUMP’ to have won three Elections," he added. "This is yet another example of FAKE NEWS!"
And there you have it, folks. Another day, another media smear campaign. The WSJ, once a titan of journalism, seems more interested in peddling fiction than reporting facts and is best used for wrapping dead fish.

Trump’s not backing down, and if his track record is any indication, The Journal might want to lawyer up.
