Oh, Sweetie, You Won't Believe What I Heard!

Well, I never! You know that whole brouhaha about the infamous Jeffrey Epstein files? Turns out, our very own President Donald J. Trump's name is right there, clear as day!

Yes, you heard me correctly, sweetie pie. His chief of staff, Susie Wiles—bless her heart—actually confirmed it to Vanity Fair. Now, she was quick to add that he wasn't doing "anything awful," mind you. But still, the mere mention! Can you imagine the gasps around the bridge table?

Apparently, Wiles, who's 68 and seems to have quite the mouth on her, told the magazine that President Trump "was on [Epstein's] plane... he's on the manifest." Then she said, and I’m quoting here,

Playboys! Heavens to Betsy, what a word to use about a President!

And let's not forget, sweetie, President Trump started dating our lovely First Lady Melania back in '98, before they finally tied the knot in '05. Yet, here we have these stories about him and Epstein being "young, single playboys."

Oh, and remember that poor Virginia Giuffre, the Epstein victim? She said she met Epstein at Trump's Mar-a-Lago spa way back in 2000! So, the connections, they just keep popping up, don't they?

Then there’s the whole hullabaloo about a scandalous birthday card, allegedly from 2003, with an outline of a nude woman and some rather suggestive banter between Trump and Epstein. The Wall Street Journal, bless their cotton socks, reported on it! But Susie Wiles insists, "That letter is not his," and our President himself, Donald J. Trump, is suing them for a whopping $20 billion, calling it a "fake Wall Street Journal story." Well, I never!

Grandma's Sarcastic Snooping & Shaking My Head

Oh, a "young, single playboy" you say? And this was while he was reportedly finalizing his divorce and then dating Melania? (I'm shaking my head so hard right now, my curlers are about to fall out!) It just makes you wonder, doesn't it?

And that birthday card with the *nude* lady? Well, if President Trump says he "never wrote a picture in my life," I suppose we have to believe him. But honestly, sometimes these things just make you sigh. Back in my day, we sent polite cards with puppies, not... that.

The whole "had a falling out around 2004" line? Convenient, isn't it? After all those years of reported closeness? It's like when your cousin Martha suddenly stops talking about her old friend when *their* shenanigans come to light. Some friendships just fade, or so they say!

And then there's Susie Wiles, the President’s chief of staff, openly correcting him on Bill Clinton's alleged island visits. She told Vanity Fair there's "no evidence" and that "the president was wrong." Well, butter my biscuits! It's one thing to defend your boss, but to publicly correct him? That takes some spunk, bless her heart!

Clarifying What Actually Happened (Between Sips of Tea)

Now, let's just calm down and get our facts straight, dear. Susie Wiles, President Trump's chief of staff, did confirm to Vanity Fair that President Trump's name appears in what she calls "the Epstein file."

However, she vehemently denied that he engaged in any "awful" activities with Jeffrey Epstein. She stated he was on Epstein's plane manifest but nothing more scandalous, describing them as "young, single playboys" from a different era.

Regarding that rather scandalous birthday card with a suggestive drawing, which was reported by The Wall Street Journal, both Wiles and President Trump have strongly denied its authenticity. President Trump is even suing the publication for a colossal $20 billion, claiming the story is "fake."

Furthermore, Wiles expressed direct disagreement with President Trump's prior claims that former President Bill Clinton had visited Epstein's island "28 times." She clarified that "there is no evidence" to support such assertions, effectively stating that President Trump was mistaken on that point.

The release of these Epstein-related documents has been a contentious issue. The Trump administration initially resisted, but a congressional act passed in November, called the Epstein Files Transparency Act, mandated the Department of Justice to release all unclassified records. These documents are expected to be publicly shared by Friday, December 19th.

Oh, I Just Can’t Even Today!

Honestly, sweetie, sometimes I just want to throw my hands up in the air! All this hullabaloo, the files, the accusations, the denials... it's enough to make a girl need a nice, strong cup of chamomile tea and a good lie-down!

Back in my day, Presidents had scandals, yes, but they seemed... simpler somehow. Not all these planes and "playboys" and *nude* birthday cards! Heavens to Betsy, the world has certainly changed!

It's just one thing after another, isn't it? You try to keep up with the news, and then you hear things like this, and you just think, "Well, I never!" Sometimes, a grandma just can't even, you know?
