There may be a lot of things going on in the US, but the subject of the president’s friendship with sex offender Jeffrey Epstein is one that refuses to go away.
Attorney General Pam Bondi recently faced more questions about the Epstein files, and the president himself refused to rule out pardoning convicted child sex trafficker and Epstein accomplice Ghislaine Maxwell.
After playing footage of the president denying that he wrote the now infamous birthday book letter to Epstein, arguing that “it’s not the way I speak,” Jimmy Kimmel decided to present some research of his own.
“It’s an interesting statement,” Kimmel says in the clip above. “‘It’s not the way I speak, and anybody that’s covered me for a long time knows that’s not my language.’ Now, we’ve been covering Donald Trump for what feels like a very, very long time. And in the interest of fairness, we decided to do a bit of research to see maybe he’s right. Does he use the words and phrases that are used in that letter? That’s not for me to say, it’s for you to decide for yourselves.”
Cue a grim montage of footage showing Trump using pretty much all the same phrases that appear in the infamous birthday book.
