Dems delete post falsely claiming Epstein spent Thanksgiving with Trump

November 14, 2025 | | Print Article

The Democrats’ latest media-supported Orange Man Bad campaign, centered on tying President Donald J. Trump to the deceased sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, quickly backfired in their collective faces.

The orchestrated hoax included a wild claim that in 2017, while president of the United States, Trump managed to celebrate Thanksgiving with Epstein without anyone being the wiser. The president spent the holiday that year at his Mar-a-Lago residence surrounded by family.

U.S. Rep. Sean Casten (D-Ill.) was among those who disseminated the misinformation, with even the Democratic Party’s official X account propagating the lie — the party would quickly endure the embarrassment of being forced to delete the post.

The widely-debunked claim was based on Epstein vaguely mentioning Trump in an email exchange about his plans for Thanksgiving in 2017, according to documents released by Democrats on the House Oversight Committee.

There was also a claim that Trump “spent hours” with one of Epstein’s victims and allegedly “knew about the girls.” Curiously, Democrats redacted the victim’s name, the late Virginia Giuffre, even though earlier releases left her name intact. For the record, Giuffre was consistent in saying that Trump never touched her and never touched anyone she knew.

White House spokesperson Abigail Jackson was quick to debunk the wild claims, which were widely embraced by the left-leaning media.

“These emails prove literally nothing,” Jackson said. “Liberal outlets are desperately trying to use this Democrat distraction to talk about anything other than Democrats getting utterly defeated by President Trump in the shutdown fight.”

“We won’t be distracted, and the entire Administration will continue fulfilling the promises the President was elected on, including Making America Affordable Again,” she added.

Here’s a sampling of responses to what equates to the Democratic Party throwing everything, including the kitchen sink, at Trump in their fevered quest to destroy him, as seen on X:
