A nude illustration, a suggestive signature, and a message about "wonderful secrets" renew explosive questions about Trump’s ties to Epstein.
The Haitian Pulse | July 18, 2025
In 2003, Donald Trump sent Jeffrey Epstein a birthday card. But this wasn’t just any birthday greeting. According to the Wall Street Journal, it was a disturbingly flirtatious note, illustrated with the silhouette of a nude woman, Trump’s signature provocatively placed below the figure’s waistline. The card’s closing line? “May every day be another wonderful secret.”
The card was reportedly part of a leather-bound album curated by Ghislaine Maxwell to commemorate Epstein’s 50th birthday—a trophy for a man later convicted of sexually abusing dozens of underage girls.
If true, the contents of this note are not only lewd; they are damning.
“We Have Certain Things in Common, Jeffrey”
The WSJ report details a fictional dialogue in the card:
Voice-over: There must be something more to life than having everything.
Donald: Yes, there is, but I won’t tell you what it is.
Jeffrey: Nor will I…
Donald: We have certain things in common, Jeffrey.
These cryptic words have ignited a firestorm of speculation about what, exactly, Trump and Epstein had in common.
The note ends with an ominous phrase: “A pal is a wonderful thing…may every day be another wonderful secret.”
Trump’s Fury: “It’s Fake”
Trump has called the story “complete garbage.” He denies writing the card and has threatened to sue both the Wall Street Journal and its parent company, News Corp. His press secretary, Karoline Leavitt, labeled the letter a “dirty trick,” comparing it to the Steele dossier.
“This is a fake thing. The WSJ refuses to show the actual letter because it doesn’t exist,” Leavitt said.
But WSJ editors maintain that their sources are credible and that the note has been verified through multiple witnesses.
Allies Close Ranks
Vice President J.D. Vance dismissed the report as “complete and utter bullshit” but paradoxically helped amplify it by quoting key passages on X (formerly Twitter).
Elon Musk, ever the contrarian, questioned whether the language aligned with Trump’s signature bombastic tone. “It doesn’t sound like Trump. Too polished, too restrained,” Musk posted.
Yet critics argue that the very subtlety of the words is what makes them so dangerous.
“Secrets between men like Trump and Epstein were rarely shouted. They were whispered,” noted journalist Sarah Kendzior.
The Epstein Web
The Trump-Epstein connection is no secret. In the 1990s, Trump famously told New York Magazine: “I’ve known Jeff for 15 years. Terrific guy. He likes beautiful women as much as I do, and many of them are on the younger side.”
Though Trump later distanced himself from Epstein, calling him a “terrible man,” this birthday card, if authentic, suggests a far more intimate rapport.
Why It Matters
The implications of this note go beyond bad taste. It suggests a comfort level between Trump and Epstein that many find alarming given Epstein’s crimes.
Legal experts are watching closely. Trump has demanded the release of all grand jury files tied to Epstein’s case—a move some see as a bid to control the narrative, others as a threat to victim confidentiality.
Former federal prosecutor Rep. Dan Goldman warned: “Unsealing grand jury materials won’t clear Trump. It could expose far more than he anticipates.”
U.S. Accountability and Haitian Perspective
For Haitians, the Trump-Epstein saga isn’t just a foreign scandal. It reflects the arrogance of global elites who abuse power, exploit the vulnerable, and hide behind wealth.
Trump’s immigration policies have devastated Haitian families. Now, his name surfaces in connection with one of history’s most notorious predators.
“How can a man with such friends lecture the world on morality and law?” asks Haitian activist Marlène Pierre-Louis. “Trump’s America punishes the poor but shields the powerful.”
What’s Next?
The WSJ says more disclosures may come. If true, they could blow open doors long held shut by legal settlements and media silence.
Meanwhile, Trump’s lawyers are preparing a defamation suit—a move that could backfire if discovery forces more documents into public view.
The Haitian Pulse Speaks
Whether this card is authentic or not, the questions linger: What did Trump and Epstein truly have in common? How many other secrets remain buried?
As we watch this drama unfold, one truth emerges: Secrets may stay hidden for a season, but history has a way of dragging them into the light.
“A pal is a wonderful thing…may every day be another wonderful secret.”
For Trump, those words may soon become a curse.
