Supposedly this is a letter that Don Junior's new wife's father wrote in support of Jeffrey Epstein in 1998. Birds of a feather, I guess. (Sorry not typing all that out for alt text. The letter is unremarkable, it's the fact that her father wrote to recommend him that's significant.)

He went covid contrarian in 2020 and enjoyed the attention. This is his first real-world crisis ever.
