Trump was assembly with the Louisiana State College and LSU Shreveport nationwide champion baseball groups when he launched right into a boast about his huge ballroom.
“So, you’ll have drinks, cocktails every part on this flooring,” he mentioned gesturing together with his small arms and showing to stipulate the form of a girl. “After which they’ll say, ‘Welcome to dinner,’ and also you’ll stroll into the ballroom.”
The odd, lingering actions immediately went viral — and so did the disgust.

“Why is his default hand gesture, when don-splaining w/his baby-hands, to make the form of a girl’s silhouette? I imply, does he not understand how fn creepy it’s? particularly bcz, you already know, all of the rapes….,” this X person identified, including, “I imply he’s speaking a few constructing, but he’s forming the form of a girl….? it’s gross, proper?”
“Hmmm. Jogs my memory of one thing,” one other posted, above a picture of Trump’s birthday card to Epstein together with his drawing of the silhouette of a unadorned girl.
‘He simply drew his Epstein birthday ebook drawing within the air,” the MeidasTouch remarked.
‘He certain as hell did,” one other agreed.
“Launch the recordsdata!!” nonetheless one other demanded, referring to the Epstein recordsdata.
Trump has repeatedly denied drawing and signing the cardboard to Jeffrey Epstein for his fiftieth birthday, which was later added to a so-called “birthday ebook” by Epstein’s girlfriend, however the signature matches Trump’s and he was recognized to doodle fairly a bit within the early 2000s earlier than he says he had a falling out with the disgraced financier.
The Home Oversight and Authorities Reform Committee truly did launch extra paperwork Friday associated to Epstein’s legal dealings, in keeping with The Hill.

Now a petition within the Home is one signature away from forcing the discharge of the recordsdata, but it surely hinges on the Home’s latest member, Arizona Congresswoman Adelita Grijalva, whom Home Speaker Mike Johnson is to this point refusing to swear in.
Johnson has assured the general public on Tuesday that he would permit a flooring vote compelling the total launch of the Jeffrey Epstein recordsdata as soon as the Home comes again into session following the tip of the federal government shutdown.
Epstein died in a Manhattan jail in 2019, in keeping with authorities, however conspiracy theories together with ones that Trump and Vance stoked on the marketing campaign path, declare the federal government has recordsdata from Epstein detailing his high-profile visitors and their relationships with underage ladies trafficked by way of Epstein.
Trump vowed to launch the recordsdata if he gained a second time period. Then, in late Could, his Lawyer Basic Pam Bondi and FBI Director Kash Patel closed the investigation and mentioned there was nothing new to launch.
Since then, Trump can’t appear to flee the scandal that continues following him round and the regular drumbeat of calls for from each the MAGA world and Democrats to launch the recordsdata.
