Trump is probably "not a guy that draws pictures." You're going to have to come up with something better than that to defend Mr. Sharpie, Ben.
During a panel discussion on this Thursday's CNN NewsNight with Abby Philip, which has to be one of the most painful political panel shows to watch on television given the regular inclusion of GOP flack and Trump suck-up Scott Jennings, guest Ben Ferguson managed to one-up Jennings with the lamest defense yet on why no one should believe the recent reporting from The Wall Street Journal about a note sent to Jeffrey Epstein by Trump for Epstein's 50th birthday.
PHILIP: Scott, you know, you're, you're making the point that, oh, they were just friends. This was before he knew anything about Epstein's, you know, alleged bad acts.
But here's what he said in 2002 in a New York magazine, so this would have been a year before this birthday message.
"I've known Jeff for 15 years, terrific guy, he said over speakerphone. He's a lot of fun to be with.
It is even said that he likes beautiful women as much as I do, and many of them are on the younger side. No doubt about it -- Jeffrey enjoys his social life."
This is, this is all in the public record as well.
