For much of his presidency, President Donald Trump has been focused on the signature of his predecessor and whether an autopen was used to affix it. But over the course of 36 hours, attention has pivoted to Trump’s signature.

wapo.stNo clear answers on whether Trump signed the Epstein birthday bookTrump denies it is his, and experts say they can’t be sure. The White House welcomed a forensic analysis of the loopy D and long tail.

“No clear answers” bruh if you can’t put this one together, a shape-matching problem out of a Highlights magazine, I don’t know how we could ever be expected to trust your analysis on anything. A paper that would be stymied by a Junior Jumble simply isn’t worth reading.

you know it’s real. we know it’s real. all of his collaborators (which now includes you) know it’s real. everyone knows it’s real. in the exponentially growing list of your journalistic and moral failures, this is one of the most pathetic and insulting yet. how fucking stupid do you think we are.

It’s clear as a bell, as well as utterly illogical to hypothesize that it might’ve been forged and then bound into a book *before* Epstein was ever investigated and before Trump entered politics. You know this, and you’re abandoning journalism to bothsides this damning evidence.

If I had the power to raise the dead, I'd bring back Ben Bradlee so he could shamble back into the Post offices and kick each and every one of you squarely in the nads.

you should be ashamed to call yourself journalist with this fucking bullshit why don't you get your heads out of your bosses ass and do your job? disseminate the facts, and keep your opinions to your fucking selves

No. It isn't plausible that it's a forgery, and we're not going to help you and Trump's cult pretend there is any real doubt. Also -- as a news organization, you suck. Hard.

For much of my life, my mom has been concerned with where I was. But over the last 30 seconds focus has shifted to where she is, after her hands covered her face. Is she still there or not? How are we to know?

You must be joking. This man bragged about being able to grab women’s pussies on tape. The signature looks exactly like every single one of his ‘Donald’ signatures. You have become an irrelevant propagandist rag.

*narrator: “of course everyone with eyes and capable vision can clearly see Trump did indeed sign the birthday message” 🙄 WaPo embarrasses/disgraces itself yet again

OH MY GOD SHUT UP WAPO. Biden's autopen use has nothing to do with this and you know it. "A local vet is making headlines for saving a horse stuck in a tree. But what about her views on other vets: those Americans who risked their lives in the War on Terror?"

Oh, I know a forged document was slipped into the book by a time traveling secret agent sent by Joe Biden. Democracy Dies in Dumbness.

AND the WaPo’s journalistic integrity craters unfathomably. He wasn’t anyone in 2003 except the ignorant serial assaulter he remains today, minus one dead best friend from whom Trump had cheated out of a real estate deal. Fin. The obsequiousness and capitulation of the U.S. media is APPALLING.

You know, sometimes, @washingtonpost.com, the answer is glaringly obvious and right in front of you. President Donald Trump is a rapist and a pedophile and every bullshit headline like this that you vomit in equivocation deepens your own complicity in the demolition of your country’s proud history.

What are you going to do when he's gone, no matter how or when it happens, and you decide you want the people you've been lying to this whole time to come back and buy your fertilizer again?

Your entire organization needs to return their journalism degrees. It's his signature. I know it, my next door neighbor knows it, my dog knows it. Or "here's a dime, call your mommy, tell her there's serious doubt of you making any money as a journalist

We’re in a moment where the consequences of spouting this sycophantic bullshit won’t be immediately apparent. Rest assured though. Anyone affiliated with Jeff Bezos and WaPo has cemented their legacy. You’re fucking terrible.

You know, if you just string up Bezos and a few of your top editors to a wall for the buzzards to do their thing, you could probably go back to doing actual journalism.

Of course Trump signed the card. Trump would have you believe that someone sent a birthday card above Trump’s signature to Epstein, after which Ghislane Maxwell assembled that card and hundreds of others into a leather bound book which remained bound for decades, untouched. Please.

It's Trump's signature until proven otherwise. There's plenty of evidence about Trump's crimes involving young girls and money laundering activities for Russian Oligarchs and Epstein. Release the #Epsteinfiles.

Have they tried claiming it was photoshopped? I know it's a wet ink signature, but that's still no less stupid a theory than arguing that twenty years ago, someone forged the signature of Epatein's best friend for reasons.

Putting aside the fact that this is very obviously Trump's signature, this stupid take requires us to believe that Trump was the only person to not sign the bday book for his best friend.

The Epstein b-day book was made a year before The Apprentice's 1st season. What is the motivation of anyone, anywhere to forge a letter to Jeffrey Epstein from Donald Trump in 2003? Trump was a failed businessman joke @ that time. Unless demented Joe Biden built a time machine out of a Delorean...

Care to explain why this is being contrasted with the Biden-AutoPen fixation? These are not similar situations. One is whether an AutoPen is a legal signature, the other is if Trump is a rapist pederast
